Posters keep insisting they’re getting the parks ready for 2025. Fine. But making both existing parks weaker - which is what removals without replacements do - is an odd way to go about achieving that goal. At this point, I’d argue doing nothing after opening Veloci would’ve been a better precursor to EU then what they’ve done.
Closing attractions without officially announced replacements is what Uni does, that’s true… but in the past, we’ve usually had a pretty firm idea of what was coming (or at least that something actually was coming) even if the details were vague. And it’s worth pointing out, closing attractions and then leaving the space vacant for many years is ALSO something Universal does, as Sinbad, Fear Factor, and the Toon Theater attest.
Now, if by 2024 or 2025 Uni gets a new parade, nighttime show, at least one big theater show, and some indication of construction on Poseiden, I will happily admit to being a gibbering alarmist who needed to keep the faith.
Finally, yes, Uni badly needs more family attractions. It’s the MAIN thing the park needs to build. But “family attraction” is NOT synonymous with cheap, underwhelming, simple, etc. Uni needs great family attractions, not reskinned playgrounds. It needs some top flight dark rides or an elaborate indoor boat ride.
