I completely understand the want/need for a new attraction in this spot I'm all for it, but there is a huge difference between watching the show and being in the show. I just participated in fear factor for the first time this past weekend (thanks to Hagrid being closed the whole damn day which I don't even want to get started on) and it was one of the most exciting times I have had at Universal, didn't make it to the finale but holding myself on a bar 2 stories high and swinging on a bungee throwing octopus at my friend was an experience I couldn't get anywhere else.. Before it closes I highly recommend getting a group of friends or even participating by yourself.

1000 percent agree...It is such a fun time if you are in the show

Especially if you make it to the final round

Since we don't have a FFL thread I just want to share I've heard from more than one source now that the show is officially dead.

Makes perfect sense. Seems to be a good time to shut it down. Sadly it will just sit empty due to the economy.

Yeah--that makes sense. Especially that in the end of the day, FFL is a high-contact attraction with guests, actively taking part in the elements of the show. There's a lot of sense to this, as I can easily see why it's dead. I just hope it doesn't become a Toon Lagoon situation though.

Given the exact current climate it makes sense, but it’s sad that 2 of these have been empty for so long with no replacements, and none in the super near future either. Prime real estate though once Universal gets to building again.

I’m baffled Fear Factor survived as long as it did. As someone who’s not a regular to this park I thought they closed it long ago and just left it abandoned.

On a busy day the theater barely fills up. No reason for them to bring it back.

There was a solid 5/6 year block where the show was strictly seasonal

...part of me silently thinks if they'd want to just convert it back to Wild Wild West, that it wouldn't be as bad..

Damn, was always hoping to eventually try the competition for myself. Guess I might've missed my shot.

I have a real soft spot for this show. I always found it pretty entertaining, even if it was super dated. It will be missed.

Ya my sister and I watched this show as our “show for adults” when we were super young so we always enjoyed this show. Was planning on competing this past vacation too. I honestly hope some type of game show is added back one day where guests are the stars. Family Feud is a perfect idea imo but I like the unpredictability of it and it’s the same, but different every time. I’ll miss this one but I accepted its fate long ago.

Until they figure out what to do with it they should put in a simple musical review show based on British bands. Call it "The British Invasion: LIVE" or something like that.

As far as Toon Lagoon Theater, with the lack of kiddie stuff at IOA, a rubber head show would be better then an empty theater.

I mean, even 6 Flags has both of these kinds of shows so it shouldn't be a problem for Universal.

How Sing! Live On Tour hasn’t made it to TL or possibly this theatre now is like insane. Movie did very well here. Probably a cheap addition, would be PERFECT for TL.
