    If Disney didn't own Fox, the perfect replacement for Simpsons land would have been a Bob's Burgers themed area. You could have an actual Bob's Burgers restaurant to eat at, Wonder Wharf and maybe some sort of dark ride. I went to Universal in 2015 and I remember thinking it just looked really dated and I can't imagine it's held up almost 10 years later

    I agree with your thoughts on Disney's relationship with the Simpsons, it's a property that doesn't really fit... It's just like the period where they owned Power Rangers - they're not going to know what to do with it, I'm not even sure it would get a token parade reference like Power Rangers did.
    If Universal were forced to choose between The Simpsons and Marvel, I think they'd choose the Simpsons; and if Disney were forced to choose between taking all of Marvel and the Simpsons, I think they'd also choose Marvel.
    Marvel Super Hero Island is is is even less elevated than The Simpsons's land; its facades are easily replaced, Universal could lsap a new IP in there without much effort. OTOH Disney knows what it's doing with Marvel, and for some characters, has rides ready to go into production for use on the US East Coast.

    MIB (like Simpsons) are on the nominations to be cut. Add the empty stadium and a piece of the backlot area that currently is in process to be reconfigured and you can add a huge land. If you take the Simpson's area alone you could add the delightful Secret Life of Pets dark ride easily.
    Besides that I think Nintendo and Pokémon will see additions in their older parks like they did with Potter.

    Im reading through the comments and I'm surprised we don't have more Nintendo Pokémon theories. If they had to keep the sim it would work and Springfield literally looks like some of the towns from the games (Pokémon center , mart and gym) animal actors could also be used under the same ip. Pokémon is one of the most recognized ip's in the world and i couldn't think of a better way for universal to use it. Marvel island will have the same issue and could have the same solution with a different Nintendo property like a super smash bro. Great vid 👌 👍 👏

      Universal has until 2028 to decide what will happen with The Simpsons..... that's when the contract comes up....if they ARE going to replace it with Pokemon....and it takes some time to figure out how the new area will look, it would be great to put back BTTF for a limited time event....as for Marvel? No, Universal has those rights in perpetuity -in other words, FOREVER -unless, they do something against the contract that will cause it to break, or Disney will pay them to get out of said contract....but seeing as how Disney is doing, that doesn't seem likely 💜

    The Simpsons Land is fun, I agree, but I also start to wonder if the IP itself is worth keeping. It’s 100% gonna be nostalgic for many, but for the newer generation I don’t see how that’s gonna stay relevant. Putting something like Pokémon there would be a more marketable addition for the park. Studios is easily the worst of the three parks so seeing it get a makeover and cut rip ride, mib, and maybe even ET is ideal. I actually got my first and only ever ride breakdown on that. But I feel modernizing the rest studios like how they did with dreamworks taking woody woodpecker land would be a good fit for the Simpsons land. On the other hand, I feel like if universal really wanted to go all out they could axe rip ride rocket, et and some of Simpsons and put a massive headlining attraction for studios with something like a crazy huge b&m giga/strata or intamin strata/exa, but that’s really unrealistic. I’ve only been to the resort once in 2022 and islands was much better in my opinion.

    • @SmallSpoonBrigade
      @SmallSpoonBrigade День тому

      Yep, and without a really strong ride, all you've got is nostalgia.That being said, Splash Mountain was built after the last time that SotS was screened or available on home media in the US, by a fair bit. The younger of us that had seen the movie when it was available, are now likely in our 40s or 50s. Which is probably part of why it was so easy for some idiots that hadn't actually seen the movie to insist that the ride had to go, even though other more objectively racist things related to Davy Crockett are still there.
      That being said, I wouldn't really expect that The Simpsons will disappear that quickly from popculture. It's still being made, streamed and is available on home media. So, even when the show is canceled, or too many of the cast and crew are retired to continue, it will likely remain in the pop culture through those home media and streaming views for quite some time. And unlike SotS, The Simpsons is good independent of a soundtrack that can be sold on CD without the controversial aspects.

      Would be very cool but most local parks have SpongeBob themed things. Vegas has a shooting dark ride, many parks had a SpongeBob 3d screen ride. It’s over saturated already. Nickelodeon is very loose with who they work with, so making a whole land for IP that’s already in many other places wouldn’t make sense for them, as much as I wish they would do a land like that. Plus the show is considered old now and not as relevant to younger audiences. The rumors of this area becoming pokemon look more and more likely

    I think the bigger reason that the ride remains is that they're not going to put a new Simpson's themed ride into a land that might not last more than a few more years. So, if they took it out, it would mean no rides at all in that land or a super cheap ride that could be paid for before they lose the rights. If they do opt to renew, then we likely would see a new ride as that would make some financial sense.
