For sure. It still feels like a location that Comcast would have demolished by now if Simpsons hadn't opened right before their purchase of the parks.

Or hypothetically, its moving to this plot of land next to Nintendo. Based on permits and construction, we will know if SLOP is going here before they would ever close Minion Mayhem.
I didn't necessarily mean SLOP specifically.
Whether it ends up in Epic Universe or not, USF would still dramatically benefit from an attraction on that level (i.e. a non-thrill, all-ages dark ride filled with practical/physical stuff) being added.

There’s zero evidence of Pets moving. Can we keep the discussion on the replacement and not EU?
How can it move if it was never greenlit in the first place

@Joe, I get needing to keep threads organized or on topic. But as of now, this is a speculation thread. We have great reporting on what's coming, but nothing is technically confirmed. So if someone wants to theorize that Pets is on the table or should be, I should be able to point out that it might not be because of conflicting rumors.

Or was never for this area.
I mean Universal has been pretty clear what's happening through teases. Pets might be a better discussion for the Future of USF or Future of KidZone threads, for example.

I have a feeling Villain-Con will be set within the time period of the second Minions film, so yea, 1968. Completely different vibe than the Despicable Me ride across the way.

Sure. But it's a moot point as Pets wasn't going to replace Shrek 4D.
Wait....
USJ is doing the first ever free walk VR walkthrough attraction this spring/summer in Universal park. That lead me down a rabbit hole regarding this project being villain-con. We talked about the attraction should be us going booth to booth trying out different weapons so it wouldn't make sense for us to get a weapon at the start of the attraction because everyone should be different as you go booth to booth. However, if the AR googles were themed to be safety googles and they managed to do a weapon overlay on the hands, you can do a spiderman-esque attraction with less equipment. It would also make sense for the moving walkway as it may be difficult for some people to maintain balance with certain effects.

What if I told you, the actual attraction portion of the new Minions Villain-Con does not take place on the Villain-Con convention floor? But, you do pick up your blasters there before the moving walkway starts.

Kinda makes me less excited
Why? If I understand this correct we get the convention floor and on top of that a stand up shooter on the first floor.

Because that might just make it an MiB clone, for all intents and purposes. I would MUCH rather have Sing On Tour--not because I'm a fan of those movies (I'm not) but it'd be something different and incredibly cheap to do.
