I wonder why they didn't put Scooby, Shaggy, and the Mystery Machine in the parade.

Great news, thanks guys. She's going to be so happy, she's loved the Lorax since she was a kid.

Why doesn't the universal logo glow a warm silent yellow during the show? It really should.

Definitely would have liked to see the Mystery Machine, a Lorax float, the Blues Brothers, The Delorian, and maybe some Fast and the Furious cars included in the parade..would have made it a tad bit longer..even the Simpsons would have been nice..

No its just areas I think we will see work in the future.

Universal is working on giving entire families reasons to visit and one area that desperately needs attention is stuff for the little ones. The kidszone is an aging area and IMO it will be addressed before Potter 2.0 opens along with another new reason to visit IOA. This is also another reason why I took so much interest in the Suess photo I posted (Lorax Thread). IOA is a more complete park than the Studios as it sits right now, and given the crowd levels seen in the first WWoHP the studios as it sits doesn't offer enough to support it. The parade, nightshow, and DM are all great additions that will do the park wonders but its just the tip of the iceberg in the Studios being reborn.

Starting this year and into 2015 just on the Studios Side I think we could see,

Parade
Nightshow
DM
Rebranding of KidsZone
Replacement for Fear Factor
Replacement for T23D (cough Transformers cough)
Harry Potter (Two attractions plus new restaurant and shops)

I find it very interesting that Universal still refers to it as the "Hercules & Xena" building.

Sorry I missed this a few days ago. I have to agree. I think Universal realizes that for the most part, they have their limit on thrill rides, at least for a good 5-10 years, and instead will be adding things for the younger childern. I'd assume at least two of Toon Lagoon, Seuss, or JP will receive some younger kid attractions, as well as what you've said for USF.

Which, for myself, is the reason why I only go for HHNs anymore.

You're kidding, right? Universal has more things aimed at the older demographic than you can shake a stick at without being a coaster park.
