  • Epic Universe will be noting short of amazing, but what happens after Epic? How will Universal Orlando continue to expand? What new attractions and IP's could we see come to the parks, and more importantly, what new coasters could we see? In this video I speculate on what could happen in the next 10 years at Universal Orlando.

    I have been saying about a tribute ride for years 100% agree.
    Mine has always been a dark ride called “Back to Universals future” starts as a tribute to Universal which is hijacked by biff and you travel back to 1997/98 with Doc and go through old ride scenes with full replica Animatronics. Also, gives the opportunity for a big store selling old style merch with a bit of a tribute museum.
    You could also have a theatre or cinema simulator attached which they can swap out for old shows or 3d films that used to be at the park.
    This would be perfect now as would attract millennials who are nostalgic and are starting to have their own kids.

      I’ve thought about the same ride: A BTTF style ride where we go through all of Universal’s historic past attractions like Kongfrontation , JAWS, Earthquake. Have it placed inside the fake JAWS 19 movie theater in case they ever build an actual Hill Valley 2015 land based on BTTF.

    i’m kinda sad about the original vision for islands gradually falling to the wayside over the years. It’s general theme was meant to be stories told through books and literature, to contrast with universals focus on movie based storytelling. Toon Lagoon stood in for early comic strips and pop art, lost continent being recorded ancient myths and legends, Suess landing is kinda self explanatory, Marvel stood in for more modern superhero comics, and jurassic park, while taking visual elements from the films, was still based on a novel. Harry potter continued that trend but now they’re just throwing anything in there. Like don’t get me wrong, i love the new additions, and we’ve gotten some excellent rides and experiences out of it, but i dunno, the initial idea for a theme park just seemed so unique and cool. Like just imagine if they stuck with this trend of splitting its themeparks up by its storytelling medium? Universal would stick with film and tv, Islands with literature, and then a third park that revolved entirely around videogames?? That sounds so sick! Each concept would be broad enough to encompass so many distinct, themed lands, but feel unified through the shared goal of taking guests through experiences that explore the many vehicles of telling stories. I dunno, just a thought.

    No way Marvel will turn into DC. DC is already the biggest selling point of the Six Flags parks in terms of marketability. I would like to see a combination of Toon Lagoon and Marvel into a larger, combined land. I think with this additional space, there is more than enough land to build a substantial Lord of the Rings land. Instead of trying to slot it in at Epic, instead use all of this now dead space including the old theater to build a massive, comprehensive land. This also works on a larger thematic level. Having Lord of the Rings next to Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, and potentially Zelda, I couldn’t imagine a better combination of IPs. Just think, the barge ride can be extended and turned into the barrel ride from the Hobbit movies. We could get a ride based on the Minecarts in Erebor or a wing coaster for a Flight of the Eagles ride. There is so much potential with this IP and I think sacrificing two aging and removable lands to create something this special would be monumental in not only the theme park wars in Orlando, but across the world over.

    It’s a shame Universal apparently couldn’t figure out a way to hold onto the license for Springfield, like they did with Hulk when Disney bought out the Marvel license. I would argue it’d make more sense to replace MIB with the Pokémon dark ride (assuming the rumors about it being a dark ride are true). It feels kind of unnecessary to still have that ride when Minion Blast just opened in the same park.

    Idk if some of those would be completely ideal (I know it’s just your thoughts and opinions) however, as someone who worked for NBCuniversal, it has to make sense for regulars & visitors. Although they have more land and more ways to make their park go further within the future, we Orlando is probably going to have other things in mind since they have a lot more space than they do.🙂

    I honestly think that replacing The Simpson’s ride with a legacy attraction might work better. The cars and theater are already set up for “4D” effects so you could easily implement a rotation of classic attractions as the on ride footage. Though I know the building and ride cars are also incredibly dated, and all rumors are pointing towards Pokémon to take over that area.

    I don’t mean to sound like a Disney shill here but hear me out. What if Disney and Universal could collaborate, integrating Avengers Campus into Islands of Adventure, reimagining Marvel Super Hero Island? Hulk's ride might stay unchanged, Spider-Man's attraction could blend Amazing Adventures’ layout with a new MCU storyline based on the upcoming fourth installment of the Tom Holland Spider-man series, and Doctor Doom's Fear Fall could transform into a significant Avengers-themed experience inspired by Disney's Avengers Multiverse attraction in Disney California Adventure.

      ​@@brennacollins6000 Problem with that though is that UO and IOA have themes. Studios is Movies themed while Islands is Book themed with the only outliers being Rip Ride Rockit, Jimmy Fallon, and Velocicoaster. You see up until recently they've all stuck to that theme pretty much. Jurassic park had a novel before the movie came out so it fit in with the book Theme of IOA. I believe the only reason Pokemon is being considered for Studios is because it's not only still popular but also because "Pokemon The Movie: Mewtwo strikes back" was a huge box office success. Therefore it fits the movie theme technically and fits in well.
