Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

[shiekra38]

Knight Bus is being considered to fix F&F.

Is that like a for real thing?!

 

[Legacy]

.......excuse me?!

Yeah.

And a new F&F attraction (better suited to the franchise) would replace MiB. Something I heard a few months ago.

Perfect idea in a perfect adjacent location to London/Diagon....and probably fairly cost effective with the building and transport vehicles there already.

 

[Magic-Man]

Yeah.

I've never been so confused and cautiously excited in my life. F&F, while not a perfect franchise, deserved much more than what it was given. Getting rid of the worst ride in the park, expanding Potter, and adding Pokemon would do wonders for USF.

....but wait a second, what will replace Fear Factor?

 

[Scott W.]

Yeah.

That is awesome.

Do Universal need any permission from their neighbours when building a new ride?

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

You’re kidding. I spent weeks in this thread wondering how a ‘more cowbell’ skit would translate in ride form.

Wait wait wait so we aren’t getting the actual David Pumpkins ride from that sketch? Disappointed.

Highly doubt it.

 

[Scott W.]

Highly doubt it.

Im thinking that also given that Volcano Bay was built but for anything to be fast or furious that the public expect, building it at the MIB site, it would be right up against those apartment buildings.

Just to sum up the rumors.
1.We wanted MOM to replace FFL. Instead we’re getting MOM in EU.

2. We will also be getting a HP interactive shooter (maybe as MOM) in EU.

3.The current resort shooter and most likely FFL will be replaced by a F&F ride.

4. F&F will be replaced by a HP addition with the Knight Bus.

I dunno about you guys, but suddenly this all makes sense. If this all comes true.

Dunno. It’s entirely possible a F&F attraction would take up both FFL and MiB. A lot of it depends on how back Universal wants to expand into its backstage storage areas.

But, this isn’t related to EU.

I think you just cracked what the tower patent is for!

ANY QUESTIONS?!

But would they have to replace all of San Fran with more London?

I'd honestly rather keep Supercharged if the only other option is getting rid of MIB, especially if the attraction on the Supercharged plot is just a reskinned version of the same basic concept.

And I say that fully believing Supercharged is the worst thing Universal has done in Orlando.

Look, as much as that would make sense, the bones of the ride are still terrible. A Potter ride where you go through a dark corridor, enter a non-magical London street, watch a static musion scene, then go into an action based screen portion?

Personally, bleh. I.P change ain't gonna fix this stinker.

 

[Suchomimus]

ANY QUESTIONS?!

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

ANY QUESTIONS?!

Yes, SEVERAL.

I created a new thread for these rumors specifically...

The Future of Fast and Furious: Supercharged

Ever since Fast and Furious: Supercharged first tripped into the sunlight, rumors have abounded of potential fixes, replacements, and reworks of the Fast and Furious concept. Recently, certain rumors about the ride's replacement/rework have gained more traction, so I figured that a thread would...

forums.insideuniversal.net

But I realized that thread might be unnecessary, as we already have threads for Supercharged, MIB, and Fear Factor. But feel free to use it if you like.

Returning somewhat back to EU, how would they reconcile the fact that there will be two Londons across the parks. Also, should they change Fantastic Beasts to the MOM, will our portal to this wondrous land be a luxurious London toilet?
