I think they should keep the motion simulator but replace Fallon with Ghostbusters. Have the story be that you’re visiting the famous theater where Phantom of the Opera plays in New York. You wait in the lobby as you find out that the Ghostbusters have been called in to investigate paranormal activity in the theater. After a quick pre show explaining the context of the ride, you’re seated in the theater where suddenly the real phantom of the opera appears and begins to haunt the stage before the ghostbusters arrive. As they do the phantom escapes bringing you along with him as his spirit is tied to the theater itself. This leads you on a wild chase through New York with the ghostbusters before the phantom is caught and placed in a containment unit.
I would love if they recreated the chandelier falling scene from the show. Since it's not on Broadway anymore I will miss the chills from watching it drop. It'd be great for universal to immortalize it in a theme park 😁

I got you on the Pokémon attraction ideas! Four to be exact: 1. A ride where you team up with Ash and Pikachu to track down Team Rocket before they steal a valuable pokeball within a museum (ride system similar to Ride of the Resistance) 2. A Big Thunder Mountain-like where you ride a coaster through the wild areas of the Pokemon world. 3. A slow moving boat ride (similar to Navi River Journey) where you just relax and take in the sights of the Pokemon world. 4. You keep the Simpson’s ride structure, but it’s a ride where you fly through different landmarks in the Pokemon world to look for mythical or legendary Pokemon (the one you encounter is random every time you ride). Hope these help!

Pretty good and very comprehensive. I like you went into detail about "unusual" ideas like the Universal "33" lounge on second floor. Additional ideas: 1) Yep, more shade and more seating EVERYWHERE. Follow what they did in new Dreamworks land 1A) Air conditioner with fans blowing outward at each food/drink cart 2) Re-imagine Blues Brothers with enhanced stage (not sure details here) and, yep, some shade. It's 200 degrees in sun most months 3) Another Mummy type indoor coaster 4) Another dark ride. I guess Secret Life of Pets, but what about unique movie ride with other IP not covered - Apollo 13? 5) Make Brown Derby a 1.5 story indoor/outdoor restaurant with views onto Hollywood. Cantina style with Derby Margaritas!
I really like your ideas for Minion Land and I had an idea of my own, you know those walls with the: "Become a minion now!" ads? Instead of those, just put up some façade houses like at Japan, and put up the Silly Stuff Store sign from Japan. Congratulations, you've made the land 57x more immersive! (Minions Dark Ride would have the building facades too.)
I have been wanting them to do something like that for ages. They do it in Hollywood and it makes it so much more fun and immersive. E specially since Universal doesn't really care about the soundstage theming anymore.
@@GiselleEstrada619 One of the thing I liked from those houses was the details, like how a Minion noise played when you rang the doorbell, and a purple minion smashing through a house. So, I fully agree with you on the house thing.
In my perfect Universal, I would turn the old Nickelodeon Studios into a Ghostbusters indoor launch coaster with crazy special effects. Similar to what they have at Busch Gardens Williamsburg with Darkcoaster but no expense spared the universal way. I would also like to get rid of Fear Factor Stadium and Men in Black into a Back to the Future family coaster like Hagrid's but themed Back to the Future.

The studios park is in desperate need of updates. The last great addition was diagon alley which was 10 years ago. And there's too many boring screen based rides. Also rip ride rockit needs to be replaced with a better more reliable high thrill coaster. That thing has gotten rough
Yes I think Universal needs more dark rides! And a boat ride that doesn't get you drenched would be awesome. Disney has so many boat rides that are well themed and tell a story. I'd love to see Universal have a boat ride that's well themed and inside.

Those were my thoughts too. Universal Studios is kind of seen as the 'events park, similar to Epcot. Getting rid of the Mardi Gras stage for a family coaster would lose them millions of dollars.
If you could take lands, rides and attractions from every universal park in the world to form just 1 park, which would you pick xD Next video idea haha
wonderful concepts and ideas! I really enjoyed both of these videos! also: Ty for mentioning putting a reference of rise of the guardians in Dreamworks land! the fandom may be small, but we are mighty and we want more representation 😅

I actually had a similar idea for Tokyo Drift/Pokemon! Essentially I had the idea of taking Simpsons, Animal Actors, some Backstage area, and any other room they can get to make a big “Tokyo” themed land to go along with the city themes of places like New York, London, etc. It could feature the same Tokyo Drift coaster winding around the land, an inside Pokemon mini area focused around the interactivity, and (if they could they an agreement) a Godzilla attraction! I feel if they could do this, it would become the gold crown of the park. Great video btw, loved the ideas!

Vincent, there is an Epic Universe Preview Center down at the old Universal Legacy store. Based on what I saw on videos and articles, they feature the big model of Epic Universe over there for guests to see and get hyped up for the opening. Also love ur vids❤
This is an amazing video! I completely agree with everything. However: -MIB should become Ghostbusters. As much as I love the ride, Ghostbusters is more popular now. They keep the ride, but make the aliens ghosts and turn the cars into Ecto-1s. The queue is the firehouse -Back to the Future deserves more than a show. Next to MIB/my Ghostbusters ride, they create a Back to the Future indoor roller coaster (similar to Hagrids intensity) where you are in the DeLorean and you have to go back in time and then to the future. Ex. there is a launch and then you are in the wild west.
Love the Ghostbusters and BTTF ideas Vincent! Would be amazing to see them back in the park. Side note: thanks for giving my husband a wave yesterday! We were all very excited to see you. 🎉
I feel like HHN being the huge beast that it is actually holds back the park the rest of the year. Fear Factor Live area stays empty and lifeless because of HHN. Minion Blast couldn't use the entire building that it's in because they wanted half of it to remain for HHN. Like idk, I like haunt events in theme parks, just don't want it stunting the growth of a park. They'll seemingly never use parts of IOA for HHN so nothing will probably change in regards to that event. USF will hopefully get a couple major shots in the arm after Epic opens. One other thing that's funny with the park is that there are multiple cases where singular rides are outshone by the lands that they're in. Springfield as a whole is great but the main ride sucks. Illumination Avenue looks nice and aesthetically pleasing for the most part, but Villain Con is really just an after thought. Even Gringotts while pretty good is just overshadowed I think by Diagon Alley as a whole as well. I get that not every hit can be a home run per say, but some doubles and triples would sure help.
When you mention something like having the characters run around and about in Production Central, Universal Studios Japan already has something like that in the Hollywood area whenever you first enter the park. That was how I got to meet up with Woody Woodpecker for the first time in 15 years at a Universal Studios theme park.
For Pokemon I would love a Charizard themed family coaster, something on the level of Hagrid's. The Pokemon snap idea is cool but I think it would ultimately dissapoint like Villaincon. If not a coaster, then some sort of Water ride. Plenty of water Pokemon to base it around.
To help out with the Pokémon idea I think an area based on X and Y would be really cool! You get a big landmark to put on top of the ride with tower inspired by the Eiffel Tower, it’s inspired by Paris so you can keep the brick floors and it would allow to bring over European Pokémon to the US. And there’s an overarching plot you can follow along then end it with the rider becoming champion
Really dig a lot of these ideas for adding things to the park without completely changing it! Would love to see how Universal could take some of these things like what we see at the Disney Parks and make it their own.
There’s just not enough land (and water) in that area. Honestly, I would love them getting rid of World Expo entirely and building a land of either Back to the Future or Willy Wonka. That would be so nostalgic!
I love all your changes, I hope Universal does it! One thing I would add to your Club Universal would be to include a bunch of in-film famous movie props! People would pay extra to see this and the experience!
I am hoping that the Lord Of The Rings rumors are true! Just look at the building permits in Orlando for the first expansion of Epic Universe. Also the gaming area by the Jurassic Park ride are giving LOTR dolls as prizes.

I had an idea where the Ghostbusters show would be the OG Busters vs the all female reboot Busters and they start off as rivals but they both have to work together to stop Beetlejuice.

I may have missed something but did you suggest to get rid of the main stage they use for Mardi Gras concerts for additional space for a Despicable Me coaster and didn't replace the concert stage?...
One of my ideas for Universal Studios Florida: an extended Hollywood section with Production Courtyard, Production Central, Hollywood Street (a main street for shopping and dining), and Hollywood Showcase for some shows and attractions!
A cool idea for pokemon could be to theme the area to the battle frontier maybe, have the simpsons ride become a Hoenn themed ride, follow the Delta episode where you ascend sky pillar and go to space with Rayquaza and get to fight Deoxys.
The Water ride in Kung Fu Training Camp area would be a great addition. Funny I was talking about it the other day how USF doesn’t have a water ride vs IOA with 3. Studios is in need of a big time coaster, and would LOVE to see more dark rides in the parks
Jimmy Fallon becomes, Secret Lives of Pets, Rip Ride Rocket becomes "Sing Coaster", Fast and the Furious becomes a ride like TestTrack, Fear Factor live becomes WATERWORLD STUNTSHOW, Simpsons ride and area Pokeon, and move the Twirl and Whirl and retheme it to Kung FU Panda and place it where the cheap spinning playground equipment is.

The issue with adding that second floor to the shrek 4D building is the external girders and columns may not have been designed to take the load within a factor of safety. It may require an entire rebuild of the building but I do think it definitely needs to happen as villian con is a waste of space.
I would love them to do a Bikini Bottom area. The main draw would be a real Krusty Krab! I’m so surprised they haven’t built one already. Everyone would go just to try a Krabby Patty lol

One idea I had if they changed Simpsons into Pokemon but also included MIB and Fear Factor is turn MIB into Splatoon. It keeps it as a shooter game and is themed to a popular Nintendo game. I just think each Nintendo land should have one IP as the focus but also include a smaller IP. Think how the one in Epic is mainly Mario but includes Pikmin and DK so we need to include the other games somehow. Maybe for Zelda they could throw in a small Kirby area or a Star Fox something.
I’d like to see a Tokyo facade for the Pokémon area either as a way to hide the entry to the land (similar to London/ Diagon) or as the overall aesthetic for the land. Then Studios has cities, IOA has islands, and Epic has worlds

I got some suggestions: 1: Epic Universe expansions should have One Piece and Luigi’s Mansion 2: World Expo should get replaced by a new Back to the Future land along a dark ride based on the Wild West. 3: Minions Land needs a revamp. 4: As much as I love Springfield and The Simpsons Ride, I think it will get replaced by either Pokémon or Fnf. 5. Hollywood Rip Ride could get replaced by Fnf: Orlando Drift.
For the most part I agree with this... especially with Jimmy Fallon. I hated the idea of this ride at first, but for what it is, it's pretty fun. One thing I would change is Minion Land as a whole, it does not match the esthetic of the park and is kind of forced in. The rides are both meh and I really don't see this as a long time solution. I really do believe this area should act as more of a hub of sorts, with a ride inside of Villain con themed to a story of Universal properties... similar to what the new Lagoon show is doing. This park has no port of entry, or celestial park type environment... it needs it

Sadly, they don't even do the Fountain of Faire Fortune anymore... Totally agree about the acoustics! If you are standing at the chain you aren't going to hear it clearly!
Love your ideas on minion land, the outdoor theater where fear factor used to be could become the new outside concert venue. But keeping Fallon and only giving the ghostbusters a walk through???? Vincent, make the whole things a ghostbusters dark ride and keep the studio memorabilia as a walkthrough and AC relief area or even a pass holder lounge. Def get rid of FnF as it is, the coaster idea sounds cool. Yeah U Studios doesn't have a wow moment when you walk into the park, it needs that, the characters would help and the music.
I love your ideas! But there’s only a few things I would change, I would keep the stage for concerts. Rock it can go but put in another coaster to the Orlando version of F&F Hollywood drift, which would free up the supercharged building. My bringing back something old would be Twister, since the new movie did well! they could do a ride like the mummy, dark ride/coaster. I would trade Kung Fu Panda for Madagascar, including your boat ride idea. As far as Pokémon, I don’t know much about the franchise so I don’t have any input there
A pokemon slow ride where its inside and outside. Outside area could be like Jurassic park where they use animatronics like water pokemon spitting water and things like that. Even do something like Jurassic world with the mosasaurus where they have a gyarados and other water pokemon swimming in a “tank” swimming around the riders
I think that the should move minion land to Springfield , and minion mayhem can turn into a Ted attraction and shreck 4D will come back withe a modern premiss

I was trying to think what franchises in the last decade would work. Here's one for New York: godzilla v kong. For Pokemon, I think a show would be fun. The franchise is about battling, so an arena battle would be great. Plus you can add every show element from every universal show. Make the simpsons ride an indoor arena, shaped like a hockey game. When you walk in, two announcers are talking in japanese, but the english dub is intentionally bad and hilarious. When the show starts, effects are like the old posiedon's fury show, but with water shooting into the crowd (waterworld), fire bursts (backdraft), a tornado (twister), and ghosts (ghostbusters). End with Pikachu zapping the entire arena. Sell sports memorabila and food.

Flawless on the fast and furious, but make it a dueling coaster, so you are actually racing cars. Would make the ride so so much better. For Pokemon, you removed the stage from rip ride rocket, why not add the stage at Pokémon, so it can be more performance based and there would still be a place to have all the other shows go to.
My idea for a pokemon dark ride would just showcase pokemon from different regions! It could be a like vehicle that is driving around, similar to the pokemon snap vehicle, and even have the pokemon pop up and bounce around and have professor oak explain what each one is. To give it some drama Team Rocket could try to swoop in and steal your pikachu but then gets thwarted at the end, where you also get to see a legendary pokemon there at the end too!

I love alll of these so much!! The only thing is I’d love to see top gun come to the Simpsons and men in black plot of land with a coaster similar to Velocicoaster that goes over the lake. May not be feasible at all, they may not be able to even get the rights but I’d love that.

Well you did get a DreamWorks lands expansion for kung fu panda but why don’t you put a expansion plan for Shrek 4D to replace E.T. Adventure cause the Shrek land at DreamWorks land needs an actual 4-D show and Shrek 4D needs to be back after being evicted by Villain-Con minion blast
Great ideas once again. I agree with all of this. If they take out Rip Ride Rocket, which they should and I think will, they should look into a family coaster similar to Penguin Trek or Slinky Dog as far as the ride system is concerned. Secret Life of Pets dark ride should come in for sure. A Ghostbusters dark ride squeezed into the corner of NY would be cool if they could find space for it, but I wouldn't be mad if it was just a meet and greet or show of some sort like they used to have. F&F drift race dark ride/coaster hybrid would be awesome and worth it, especially if it ends up being similar to Radiator Springs Racers, but on steroids. Simpsons to Pokemon makes the most sense and a Pokemon Snap darkride would be awesome as long as they make it practical with sets and animatronics and a few screens to enhance backgrounds and stuff. I love Men in Black , but I can see them replacing it unfortunately. If Pokemon does replace the Simpsons, I can see them lumping in the MiB ride into the land, making that Pokemon Snap, freeing them up to add in another Pokemon ride where the Simpsons ride is. Probably another simulator ride if they didn't want to fully replace it with something new. Also, yes to that BTTF stage show and a Kung Fu Panda mini land/ride. ET should never be touched unless it's to make it better than it already is lol. Man, I feel ya on wanting to apply to Universal Creative. I'd love to work for them, especially on the HHN team in some capacity. Just bought my Rush ticket Friday. I'll keep an eye out for you when I'm there!

New to you! Subscribed...agree and had similar ideas myself. Only thing I disagree with is the main stage by rip ride rocket only because it's used for spring concerts matdu Gras rock the universe Christmas etc
A problem with the fast and furious coaster is that the hog warts express is right behind that building so you would have to make the hogwarts express track indoors or make the roller coaster indoors
HEAR ME OUT!!! Build a Back to the Future, Intamin Multi Launch Coaster where Simpsons is. Similar to Velocicoaster but a little more themed with show scenes, taking you to the future and even the wild west. At the end you can hit 88 mph, and have an intense water front section before the end.
The whole soundstage area in USF from Blue Man to NY is prime for expansion (as well as the backstage buildings that are moving to EU). Move HHN to EU for a few years while they demolish and build a new NY mini-land for Ghostbusters and King Kong (Skull Island in IOA and KONG: 8th Wonder of the World in USF). Once it’s opened, dedicated buildings solely for HHN will be included in the new expansion.
I would change Dreamworks land... Same concept, get rid of Troll and replace with Secret Life of Pets. Make the full land indoors so it is an indoor kids land. All 3 IPs should have a dark ride. Copy Secret Life of Pets and create 2 unique dark rides for Kung Fu Panda and Shrek. I would love the Shrek one to be a mix of props and screens, following Shrek, Donkey and Puss. Maybe part of the ride, you get captured off a witch and made small and all the probs at that stage become massive. i know Disney have Ratatouille but I don't think I have seen a Dark ride that simulates shrinking/growing in size. It would be unique, it would be cool and genuinely all the parents would probably appreciate an indoor section to hide from the sun. Disguise the front of the building with Redwood trees to blend it more in with ET.

But I agree with Simpsons going away but I would like to see Back to the Future come back and that is pretty much it.
Call me lame or nostalgic, but I would love to see Universal create their own version of the Great Movie Ride in Universal Studios Florida.

I don’t know if this is a smart or profitable idea at all but the back to the future show idea made me think they should just bring the back to the future musical that’s currently on Broadway to the old Blue Man Group theater. I feel like it fits within the brand of universal and would add some out of park entertainment. If it’s too long for the average vacationing guest maybe you could even pair it down and make it shorter however if you’re charging for it I don’t think that’d be a great idea.
