100% agree on the Seuss changes! I think a Mount Crumpit coaster on the level of Seven Dwarves Mine Train could add variety to the land. And as much as I enjoy Cat In The Hat, I think some cosmetic changes could be really great in bringing a GREAT traditional family dark ride to Islands.

I love the SpongeBob idea. Instead of doing a chum bucket restaurant, they could retheme Bluto’s Bilge Rat Barges to Plankton and his evil torture chamber
Yea think Plankton themed villain overlay to Bluto’s would be good. Think Chum Bucket would go great where Me Ship is with this to make that whole island Plankton themed but hate to remove a play structure too.
As a Zelda fan, I do think Zelda is a lot better for IoA than most Nintendo properties since it's a franchise built off of the stories and legacy of the world around it. A good chunk of the games start with a storyteller telling the 'legend of Zelda' (btw we NEED a Zelda show in this land, it's nonnegotiable).
18:40 Fun fact, spongebob would still technically stick to the literature theme because the ideas in the show came from a book, The Intertidal Zone (source, wikipedia)
Also, I found out that there exist out there SpongeBob Comics published by United Plankton Pictures (a film and production company established by Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of SpongeBob), distributed by Bongo Comics, that ran from February 2011 to October 2018. As for the Legend of Zelda, maybe Universal could release a movie and then release a book based on the movie. I mean, the Legend of Zelda already had many unofficial novelizations, several lore and information books, and back in the 90s, they even had comics and manga. It's not exactly the same, but at least the history of the world of books and literature is not lost. Like Mario, for example, the land opens in 2021, and then in 2023, Universal, through Illumination, releases a movie, and now you could make an excuse that it's still about 'ride the moviel'.
1) More shade. More adjustable, easily moveable shade. See Dollywood! 2) More seating. More seating at restaurants for people and ride watching. More seating in shade 3) A full walking path right next to lagoon. Half of the crowd in Jurassic and Potter are trying to push through the land. Expensive, yes... 4) A multi-level indoor/outdoor bar that is RIGHT on the water. Maybe have Sneetch races that you can "bet on"
I visited Islands of Adventure for the first time in August 2023 and had an amazing time-it was definitely my favorite theme park experience ever. As a huge Marvel fan and superhero geek, seeing the Marvel Super Hero Island in person was like walking in a fantasy dream. I couldn't believe it. Harry Potter’s Wizarding World, Jurassic Park, Toon Lagoon, and Dr. Seuss’s Landing were all incredible.
Lots of great ideas, except I'm going to have to disagree with eliminating the Toon Lagoon area and replacing with SpongeBob. They're already planning on opening a SpongeBob themed park in Texas, so they're not going to expend additional resources on the same concept in Orlando. On an esthetic level though, I just feel there's so much for kids to learn and appreciate with Toon Lagoon. Of course it's dated and no child knows of these characters, but I don't see a better way of teaching them the history of comics than through this attraction. And the theming is just so well done that I have trouble believing they could pull it off again with a different property. I think they might do well to offer, either for free or for purchase, a small compilation of comics in this land so kids can learn what it's all about.
This is the only sensible answer about toon lagoon, that land is perfect as is , it was intentionally designed to be dated as when the park opened , the characters were already 30+ years past their show times
I never understood why Spongebob had so little representation in Universal Studios even as a kid. Other than the store, parade and whatever exclusive merchandise they were selling, there was hardly anything. Having a whole land designed after Spongebob would be a literal childhood dream come true! ☺️
You can add all of the cool stuff going on to River Advernture without getting rid of the Jurassic Park theming. Jurassic World is just so sterile compared to the themeing of Jurassic Park. Just imagine converting Thunder Falls Terrace to something with Jurassic World theming.
In my perfect IOA there would be a live actor ride or show. Jaws was fantastic because of the interaction with the actors, Sinbad and Beetlejuice were so entertaining. Bring back live actors !
I think they’re going to do that for the Creature From the Black Lagoon ride in Epic Universe. Still a rumor, but 99% of the time rumors come true when it has to do with theme parks.
WARNING: LOTS OF YAPPING AND RANDOM CRAZY IDEAS My opinion: Islands of Adventure needs more sit down shows. Because of the aggressive lines in this park, there needs to be something that will take people out of lines. Unlike some rides where people might not be able to go on, almost everyone can watch a show. Waterworld is in literally every park except Universal Orlando Resort, so the old Amphitheatre or Simbad theater could be used for Waterworld. A Harry Potter show would be cool, demonstrating spells, or even a shortened version of the Cursed Child. They could make the walk to the old Blue Man Group stage permanent and have a real Seuss Landing show. Summary: Universal, give Islands of Adventure shows.
I've been saying the same to my friend, Kong should be replaced for the Jurassic World Adventure. That said, I'd like it if they didn't make it 100%, 1 to 1. Track layout and the big scenes stay, such as the Indo chase, but add in some new scenes to make ours feel unique. Maybe have the jeep(s) veer off track and head into the now abandoned parts of old Jurassic Park. Gives the old heads our nod to the first film, while staying in the world, no pun intended, of Jurassic World. They could even make it so the sign out front has the 'World' scratched/busted off, revealing 'Park' underneath. Also P.S. Toon Lagoon retheme to Spongebob/Bikini Bottom is the best idea for that land. Never crossed my mind, but that is brilliant and makes the most sense for that area as it is. Get that stage in use with a Spongebob stage show lol.
Love all of this! Two additional ideas: (1) X-Men Ride. Could be a Blackbird Simulator (a ‘la Star Tours or Iron Man at HKDL). (2) Keep “Toon Lagoon.” Swapping Dudley Do-Right and a lot of the Comic Strip lane for Sponge Bob makes a lot of sense, but I’d keep a Popeye’s mini-land. The Bilge-Rat Barges are such a perfect ride. Maybe it’s a Toon Lagoon with Sponge Bob, Popeye, and add in a Scooby-Doo dark ride where the auditorium is?? (Know that’s where you’re thinking X-Men.)
Ok for the crabby patty resteraunt I’d say an honest no! The reason there isn’t one already is because the crabby patty is meant to be a mysteriously amazing meal! So perfect that its recipe is hidden in a high tech safe!!! So making a resteraunt would take away the magic of the crabby patty and take away the mystery one watching the show! I agree it would be cool but… they would never and they should never
I love all your ideas and I like how realistic everything you've suggested is. Kong being replaced doesn't seem likely to me for two reasons. Kong is somewhat new and fresh still, and there are so many other areas that could use a refresh before this leaves. Second, I think Beijing's Jurassic World Ride is essentially a replacement to the River Adventure... I feel like it's an "or" situation where you'd never see both the water ride and the dry ride at the same park.
Yeah, the demolition of Kong would be pretty unlikely, it’d be the soonest they close an attraction…but I also think Universal has no problems with copy and pasting an attraction to another park.
Rehaul Toon Lagoon into Middle Earth. That whole theater just sitting empty for years can be torn down and rebuilt into an indoor thrill ride through Mount Doom. Dudley Do Right or Popeye becomes a dwarf escape barrel ride out of Lord Elrond's castle.
No, keep Toon Lagoon. Put Spongebob somewhere else, that land needs to stay forever, it has history and love, that is the only area that if they replace it, i will stop coming back and will never come back to the parks. I care about Dudley Do-Right and Popeye when I ride those rides, it’s not all because of getting wet is the reason why I go on the Toon Lagoon rides, it’s because of the characters, I love old school areas of Universal, please tell me that they won’t get rid of that beloved area. I know all the characters in that area! 🥺
I totally agree about the Mt. Crumpit idea. Some time ago I was thinking about how the Grinch needs his own ride. He's so popular. There's so much they could do to add to IOA. They really haven't done much to add rides to each land which is a shame. Dr. Seuss has so many books so that land alone has so much to draw from to create many new experiences.
Maybe Universal could release a movie of the Legend of Zelda and then release a book based on the movie. I mean, the Legend of Zelda already had many unofficial novelizations, several lore and information books, and back in the 90s, they even had comics and manga. It's not exactly the same, but at least the theming of the world of books and literature is not lost. Like Mario, for example, the land opens in 2021, and then in 2023, Universal, through Illumination, releases a movie, and now you could make an excuse that it's still about 'ride the moviel'. As for SpongeBob, the idea for the show itself originated from the Intertidal Zone comic and I also found out that there exist out there SpongeBob Comics published by United Plankton Pictures (a film and production company established by Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of SpongeBob), distributed by Bongo Comics, that ran from February 2011 to October 2018.
I loved this video so much! So many amazing ideas. I agree with all of them haha! The only thing I would add is that I would refurb Spider-Man again and update the screens to be way sharper and brighter. The same goes for HP and the Forbidden Journey. Desperately needs a screen/projector update imo. Also wish they could make it somehow cold in Hogsmead to give more of that winter vibe. ✨
Ayo!!!!!.....nice vid to see on my recomended Bigest takeaway,is that if your changing anything,DONT change the visual style of superhero island,keep it as consistent with the land as this land is a beautiful time capsule to a pre mcu era......and into in itselt il love a propper F4 ride... Also.....a morshu meet and greet for the zelda ride....yep....the cdi character XD
YES TO ZELDA! I love your ideas. Deku tree! Korok seeds?! Amazing ideas! I can't say that adding it would seriously dilute the "based on stories" intent. Sure, if it was originally a story given to us on paper (so, literature), but Zelda is absolutely a massive, epic story, even moreso an "adventure" than other existing IP's in the land, so I could argue it belongs even more than some of those, lol. Aside, I can't imagine many people know/care about that, I think the word "adventure", being on the name of the park, is more relevant to the park's theme today. Hogsmeade def needs more things. It was amazing for us when initially released as we had NOTHING immersive, but then they put Diagon Alley next door and Hogsmeade was immediately showing its flaws. I wonder if they could make more spells that they could change out at random times or seasonally, just like a real store would change their window dressings, so you experience something different so much more often if you're a repeat visitor (I realize they're built-in now, but I don't think they have to be, I think they can make them interchangeable displays). Would love more creatures! Love spongbob ideas as well. Toon lagoon, the kids have no idea what is going on lol. Lastly, as for your Jurassic Park opinion: you're just wrong.🤣 But seriously, that's my hubby's favorite IP and we couldn't even finish the last Jurassic World movie. Ok to add JW stuff, esp the JW adventure ride, but JP needs to stay, an update to the other ride from CA but STILL JP I think would be great. Especially for the atmosphere and the John Williams music. That bridge in between HP and JP where you can hear John Williams from both ends is my favorite part of the park. I don't think they'd even think about it, anyway. "Take your nostalgia goggles off", lol, they're literally basing their tribute store and current shows on nostalgia, so I don't think that's the direction they're going anytime soon. For me personally, it's not about nostalgia, it's just...much better actual films than JW.
100% on board until you got to Jurassic Park... Jk man honestly love these ideas, and the River Adventure definitely needs a refurb, I just feel the less modern and more rustic vibe of JP matches the vibe of IOA more than JW. Besides, the original movie is more timeless and beloved by fans. That's just my opinion tho, this was a great video

if they don't adhere rigidly to BOTW and TOTK for their zelda theming, i could see the boat-overhead system working well for representing a dungeon from an earlier game: skyward sword's ancient cistern. a water-themed dungeon with very distinct upper and lower layers.
For Jurassic Park it doesn't necessarily need to be updated to Jurassic World. All the River Adventure needs is updated animatronics and special affects and they could keep the Park aesthetic. While i do love the Kong ride I agree that it should be a Jurassic themed ride. They already have a concept for a Jurassic Park safari jeep tour that they could build to replace Skull Island. The ride could also be set on site B Isla Sorna to differentiate it from the water ride. To me the story of Jurassic World the ride and Jurassic World Adventure ride are pretty much the exact same story about the indominus rex breaking out wreaking havoc and then fighting the T-rex. Also i love your idea for the X-Men ride in the amphitheater location. I think an Avengers ride would work great there too but then they might be getting into some legal issues with Disney regarding that particular property.
1) Island Skipper Tours 2.0 would make a WORLD of difference! You could have 4 ports around the bay and keep circulation all day! 2) Mt. Crumpit is a no-brainer and we need to ban together as a fan base to bully Universal Creative into starting construction on that area at the same time Zelda construction starts 👀 3) The Cat in the hat needs to go 😬. Sorry, but it's not as timeless as people thought it would be. I say "Horton Hears A Who" deserves that plot more. With Universal's track record on complex dark rides, we need a new cutting edge family dark ride that sends a message to the next generations that everyone deserves to be heard! 4) Zelda obviously needs the representation in IOA. Making a mountain or even better a GIANT DEKU TREE!? Best videogame land concept yet. The ride in my opinion should be the boat ride concept. Imagine a tour of hyrule by princess Zelda that goes awry due to Ganon Shenanigans and the intense climax moment is the waterfall scene where our protagonists save the visitors of hyrule at the last second? (I'll put a full synopsis up on Art Station soon ^^) 5) More spells yes, but I think a VR/AR wand dueling attraction would be the piece-de-resistance to the Wizarding world :) {that one I DO have a VERY rough sketch of on artstation ^^} 6)Jurassic World full takeover, another obvious no brainer 😬 Give us more Dinosaurs. We will literally never be tired of more/new dinosaurs. 7) 💜ARE YOU READY KIDS!?!?!?💜 You could Spongebob the HELL out of that land!!!! The expansion space from the old stage!? The rides could be easily rethemed even better! (The driving school log flume made my heart light up with pure joy, you have no idea 🥰) Even the island concept for the park fits seamlessly!!!!!! 8) Marvel is touch n go because of the contract, so i'd rather not risk changing something that can't stay. If I could make a blue sky pitch, it would be an additional dark ride. If not a sequel to the spiderman attraction with a new layout and story that can increase the capacity of the land, perhaps an intense indoor flat ride themed to a Villain? Put some cool lighting effects in there and you get a new way to beat the FL heat. Maybe even put a superhero themed breakfast spot on the roof so it feels like you're really in a comic book metropolitan area? You've honestly just inspired me to make my own video now; so don't be surprised if you see a viral 4 hour rant about the entertainment industry pop up in the next month 🙃 I have so many ideas it hurts.
100% should not bring Jurassic world to Orlando, though I believe the second half of the Hollywood version is better, the first half is lazy and full of screens. So pass

I love the Spongebob idea and was thinking the same thing. Only changes I would make is make Popeye and Blutos into the Mrs Puff driving school since it’s a wild ride already and turn Rip Saw Falls into a Plankton ride where the riders shrink and go on an adventure to get the secret recipe for the Krabby Patty with larger than life animatronics. The final drop could be the “regrowth” of the riders once SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs find out what we’re doing
So fun to watch this after just getting back from the resort because I can see exactly what you’re talking about. I was skeptical when you said Spiderman was your favorite ride, but you’re right. It’s AMAZING (no pun intended). My favorite ride now too, outside of the two popular coasters. So, I think they should scrap Toon Lagoon and expand Marvel into that space with a new Storm (the heroine) water ride and X-men dark ride. On the flip side, I love your idea of a quick service that serves Krabby Patties, but they should have done that over by the SpongeBob store where KidZone Pizza sat. Instead, they are now selling Dreamworks pizza?!? WHY?🤷🏽♀️
If they made a Zelda or Metroid ride, that would be incredible. I am excited to visit the Mario land for Epic Universe, but I do wish more Nintendo IP gets used. I think a Metroid indoor rollercoaster of an invaded space station would kick serious ass.
Chum bucket honestly should sell chili, since it both looks like the chum and also a chum dog would be a chili dog, and you could also serve sloppy joes
this was great, hard not to agree with everything, even if I wish the Grinch coaster would be at least equal to Hagrids in intensity. they could probably squeeze in one more HP ride somehow, and the new Zelda and Spongebob lands would be crazy, sign me up!! 🙌🙌 hopefully we'd get 2 Zelda rides too somehow, whatever they choose for that or anything else, it will be epic.
Here’s mine: totally agree on entry changes Totally agree on Seuss landing Zelda land also gains a stage show in place of the sinbad show. Hogsmeade gains a great hall restaurant/dinner show Jurassic park remains, with an extensive (toontown in Disneyland style) renovation. A new ride replacing Kong skull island based on the new Jurassic movie, (real thing btw) which is actually set to take place back in the original Jurassic park time period. This ride will take inspiration from the ride in Beijing, while acting as a movie tie in. Toon lagoon Popeye remains untouched, a SpongeBob mini land overtakes the toon lagoon ampitheater and a portion of the toon lagoon streets, this ride will be an indoor dark ride/ boat ride. (Think pirates of the Caribbean with more thrill and splash) Marvel land CANNOT RECEIVE ADDITIONS/ NEW ATTRACTIONS what’s considered reasonable are renovations and facelifts of existing attractions, we will slightly modernize superhero island, with a slightly less comic booky (more mcu esque?) aesthetic. This will include massive renovations to dr dooms free fall, with new effects and a new queue, and queue enhancements in spiderman as well. Also the new islands of adventure logo will be destroyed forever 🎉

Every time I hear the Zelda idea for lost continent I always think a Soarin’ or Flight of Passage type attraction would be cool where you just fly around The Kingdom of Hyrule on the paraglider or something else like that. I know...another screen attraction but it would be different than anything universal currently has.
I might be in the minority on this but I'd rather Universal explore adding different IPs that don't fall under the Nintendo umbrella. While I get Universal wanting to max out the partnership they have with Nintendo as much as they can I'd rather not see a lot of the park shift to being just Nintendo stuff.
I highly disagree with the Jurassic World idea. I think River Adventure should get a big re-do that should make the ride just as good as JW the ride. also skull island shouldn't become JW adventure instead they should bring back the jeep ride idea. other than that, cool vid 😎

I still don’t like the idea of converting Jurassic Park to Jurassic World, mainly because I really don’t like the newer movies, especially Dominion. I do like the other ideas, especially the suggestion of a X-Men simulator.
Counter argument: Keep the name Jurassic Park. Just update everything that needs refurbished, boot Kong and add the Jurassic World ride you mentioned as well as adding dinosaur encounters. Jurassic Park is a timeless movie and I don’t want to lose that magic. If I’m going to that park, I want to go to the movie I loved. Not the 15 years later sequels that’ve failed to recapture the magic and are just cash cows that’ll be forgotten about in a week. You’ve got good ideas here and there are definitely people who like the World movies so I’m not saying there isn’t a place for it… but damn it man. Let me keep the timeless movie that was magical. Just refurbish it.
There's one cool idea that I was actually conjuring up. I was thinking of an indoor roller coaster based off Oppenheimer maybe in the former Poseidan area (since it is Universal-distributed) and it'd be kind of like I guess a Space Mountain and pass by a replica atomic bomb that fires up on the final drop (Idk If that's possible but that's what I think they could do) also have an idea for Universal Studios too (it would be off-topic just to mention it here)
Lost Continent: For a park named Islands of ADVENTURE, I think Universal needs to introduce another Indiana Jones kind of license, but excluding The Mummy of course. Tomb Raider, Uncharted or The Goonies could fil this gap. And if they use The Legend of Zelda, there too they should have a coaster/dark ride or whatever attractions to explore an ancient temple, face traps, solve puzzles, etc, with an emphasis on practical effects and scenery movement rather than screens. Toon Lagoon: Maybe this would be a good place for a fleched out Kung Fu Panda land. The existing and rethemed water rides would fit nicely with the Chineese subtropical region where the movie takes place. The rapids ride could represent a training combat where the guests must dodge all the attacks coming from the characters along the ride, as a reference to Bruce Lee's famous quote: "Be water, my friend".
How're Spiderverse's theme park rights being handled? If they really wanted to update Marvel Island, giving the Spiderman ride an update based on those films could result in something really fun and stylish. Also, I think Orlando should avoid adding the Beijing Jurassic World ride for the purely selfish reason that I want it at the new park here in the UK instead and Universal apparently doesn't want to have any rides shared between the two so Brits still want to vacation in Orlando.
So Marvel gets to keep their 90s aesthetic, but Jurassic Park can't? You were right when you said you were gonna ruffle some feathers because my feathers are so ruffled, a duck just hit on me. All your other ideas were good though.
Here is my true version of Universal’s Islands of Adventure: Port of Entry: I would add a Boat ride which takes you around different Islands and sometimes stops at a station similar to the Disneyland Railroad. Seuss Landing: I would update the Cat in the Hat ride with new effects, and impressive animatronics. I would also add more capacity with One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish by adding Three Fish, Four Fish, Orange Fish, Green Fish like Magic Kingdom’s Incarnation of Dumbo. I would add a log flume themed to the Lorax. I would add a mine train dark ride themed to Green Eggs and Ham. I would also add the Mount Grumpit Coaster with the Matterhorn ride system. But I will keep the High in a Seuss Trolley and Seuss-Carousel. Zelda’s Kingdom: I would replace Poseidon’s Fury and add a Legend of Zelda Sit Down Show. I would change the mythos restaurant to be themed to the Breath of the Wild. I would add a wing coaster themed to Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I would add a hybrid boat turn ride with some suspensions themed to Tears of the Kingdom. I would also add some interactive challenges to the land similar to Super Mario World. Hogsmeade: I would add the Hogwarts Dining Hall restaurant. I would also remove both the Triwizard Spirit Rally and the Frog Choir and add the Magical Creatures show. I would also add more interactive elements to the land. I would also make the Buckbeak roller coaster into a junior motorbike coaster. Everything else is perfect. Jurrasic World: I would demolish both Jurrasic Park: River Adventure and add an EMV Jurrasic World: Isla Nublar Journey similar to Dinosaur from Animal Kingdom. I would demolish Skull Island: Reign of Kong and add a Universal’s Version of Soarin called Soaring over Jurassic World. I would also demolish Pterodactyl Flyers and add a clone of Beijing’s Jurrasic Flyers. I would also add a clone of Singapore’s Dino Soarin flat ride. I would also bring back the Triceratops Encounter. I would also change the Museum and restaurants to be themed to Jurrasic World. The Velocicoaster is Perfect as it is. Bikini Bottom: I would add Krusty Krab and Chum Bucket as restaurants. I would add a log flume Plankton ride where he gets his revenge on SpongeBob and Patrick. I would also add a River rapids ride where SpongeBob is catching Jelly Fish. I would also add an Ice Cream parlor with SpongeBob Flavors and Popsicles. I would add a Ferris wheel to Bikini Bottom. I would also add a Hotel themed to SpongeBob’s Pineapple House. Marvel Superhero Island: I would add a Sit Down Show based on the Fantastic Four. I would add a Ride and Go Seek Type Dark Ride themed to the X-Men. I would make the Storm Force Accelaratron from a spinning tea cups to a Dynamic Motion Stage to make it more thrilling. I would make the Dr Doom Fearfall ride as a more indoor thrilling drop tower add projections of the Fantastic Four fighting against Dr Doom. I would make the aesthetic a little more better. Everything else including the Incredible Hulk Coaster and the Amazing Adventures of Spider Man are perfect.
Interestingly enough the Spiderman wandering around the giftshop was even happening as late as 2014 - well after the Marvel asquisition. I remember running into him that year as I was an AP holder while working my Disney College Program
I love The Grinch roller coaster As for Zelda Land yes love the idea...but nothing will be made until epic universe opens. So by summer 2025 construction will begin. Also love Jurassic world update, not sure how I feel about skull island it's to new😊 Spongebob would have been great.....back in 2005, back when the series was at its best.

@VincentVision this is so cool! I literally found some old notebooks of mine and they had about half of the stuff you had in here, with a Grinch-themed area, and even a new Marvel ride, which funny enough, was themed to the X-Men and was set in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters! One thing that I had in my Jurassic Park section was I kept the Jurassic Park land name the same, but I actually dug back in some old concept art for when the park was first going through ride concepts, and I brought back the Jeep Safari attraction. It's called Jurassic World: Savage Safari. It has no screens and it is all practical sets and state-of-the-art animatronics. Another thing is in Port of Entry, I actually added a dark ride, called The Quest for the Lost Islands. It's a trackless dark ride, and has similar function to Rise of the Resistance. And in my version, the Lost Continent became a new expansion of the Wizarding World, and is called The Wizarding World of Harry Potter-The Forbidden Forest. The mini-land would have one ride and one show. The show would be themed to the Goblet of Fire and would have dragons and other mythical beasts, similar to how we see Harry and Hagrid visit the dragons deep in the forest. The ride would be a dark ride taking place during the final movie. And you would help Harry, Ron, and Hermione find the last Horcrux. As for Toon Lagoon, I wasn't super sure about this one, but one of the concept pieces I drew was one where instead of Pokémon going to Studios, it came to Islands. It was kinda far-fetched, so i drew another piece of concept art, and mine had SpongeBob as well! I think it's really cool how our ideas were similar. I'd love to hear some of your ideas for some other parks.
We’ve seen Disney do a Marvel land…Avengers Campus! And apart from Mission: Breakout (which is one of my favorite Disney rides and built before AC)…the land really isn’t that great. I’d trust Universal with DC tho, love Superman
@@VincentVision yea but Disney is still limited with what they can do that’s why it’s called avengers campus ..that contract doesn’t benefit either of them universal pays Disney and Disney can’t do anything marvel with those characters I think both sides needs to come together you and I both know the simpsons will be out of there soon
Ideally I probably would have had Revenge of the Mummy in IOA and kept Kongfrontation in USF. I can see how Kong could fit in IOA as well, because Skull Island, but he was always a perfect fit for what was intended to be the New York area of USF along with the Ghostbusters, more so than putting The Mummy in that area. Plus I think it's still debatable whether Skull Island: Reign of Kong has truly been a worthy successor to Kongfrontation with it being mostly made up of 3D screens, but at least the opening of the attraction has meant that Kong has a presence within the Universal parks again in spite of The Mummy taking his original place.
I’m going to disagree on Toon Lagoon just out of my personal affection for the properties. I grew up in the ‘80s watching reruns of Popeye and Rocky and Bullwinkle (with Dudley Do-Right). I don’t think Spongebob came out until I was grown. [SIGH] These kinds of videos often make me feel old.
I think the Legend of Zelda ride should be Wind Waker themed especially if it is partly a boat ride. I really think Universal is missing some nautical themes and that would fill a sort of pirate adventure fantasy. That or it could transition from Wind Waker to Breath of the Wild when you jump the waterfall but being picked up by the paraglider. Using forced perspective they could make the BotW part look like you are looking down on open plains. Alternatively the flying part could be Skyward Sword. Definitely should be collecting rupees along the way!
There’s so much mythos (hehe) and mysticism that already exists in the world of Zelda that it would feel like the Lost Continent reborn. All for it. They do need to find a way to preserve the talking fountain and integrate that in someway and have a reference to Ocarina of Time.
@@VincentVision Good alternative location. Doesn’t have to thematically fit since the rock work and other features closely match Lost Continent anyways.
Close down everything of island of adventure, except Harry Potter, and except marvel, Superman and I you could keep the right the rides like but do everything about SpongeBob
Dudley Do-Right has some of the ugliest internal theming and the weakest IP of them all so I would love to see it be updated. It was very cool when I went at night but when it's bright and you see all the exposed elements with seemingly no care given to it, I just can't enjoy it. Really awesome suggestion with Jurassic Park; I absolutely love the movie but the theming for World is very beautiful and adding that simulator to replace Skull Island, which already has issues evidenced by its inability to traverse outside, would make it perfect. The kids area is also great but could use some touch-ups.
Love the X-Men idea.bin a perfect world it would be a big budget Rise of the Resistance !level ride with giant Sentinels akin to the AT-AT scene. In reality I think your idea makes the most sense, something like a modernized Star Tours that's a Danger Room session featuring all the iconic battles and moments
Agreed with making Jurassic Park a more complete land by removing Kong and replacing it with the ride from Beijing. But while I agree that River Adventure needs a refurb, I don't agree with making it identical to the ride in California.
Most of your could and are cool but two things that not happen is SpongeBob because their is a already a SpongeBob land and X-men 97 is 100% Disney and Disney 100% own that so universal cannot do that what I recommend they do for marvel is completely retheme into ether the Spidey verse land which owned by Sony not Disney or do DC superland which would not be that hard the hulk would become Superman, and Doctor Fear drop would just be destroyed because of safety concerns the spider man ride would be able to stay because that under a different contract with Sony not Disney , Storm Force Acceleration can their be rethemed or destroyed personal I hate those kinds of rides so it does matter to me
I love this I agree with everything except I would change the marvel land entirely I love marvel island but I think dc needs a bit of love and I know that’s unpopular and the Spider-Man ride is incredible but I would love if the Spider-Man ride was a Batman the animated series inspired ride to honor Kevin Konroy and I think it would fit well.
Love these ideas as well...I watched the series in reverse I guess lol. What are you going to do with the old sin bad show and talking fountain for Zelda??
A good idea its replacing marvel land to a teenage mutant Ninja turtles área captain americas diner could easy replace by antonios pizza rama the Spiderman ride becoming a Ninja turtles multiverse ride bepop and rocksteadys disco party tacking over storm force the scheeder takes over the Hulk coaster and foot clans skyline screamer taking over the doctor dooms fear fall beacuse im a huge fan of the franchaise and plus theres not much nickelodoen at universal studios florida an also will be a perfect fit for islands of adventure since the Ninja turtles stared as cómic books in 1984 and later expanded with movies and tv shows
Bruh how is the Grinch overrated he’s only around once a year And it’s one of the greatest books/short films of all time Like what more do you need my guy 😭 He’d be more overused if they added a year round attraction too so that doesn’t really make sense Otherwise I agree on the Bikini Bottom idea and I’d be shocked if they don’t announce something similar in the next 5 years
If they do The legend of zelda I hope its not just based on BoTW and ToTK but there are also parts where Majora"s mask, Ocarina of time and windwaker are present.
Lord of the rings or Zelda will be next for sure. Where each goes remains to be seen but they clearly have the expansion plot in epic and will likely begin work within a year after opening the park
A grinch characters meet and greet from jim carry movie version would be nice i wanna see would be good like cindy lou martha may the mayor as for cat in the hat disneyland made a movie version ride of pirates of caribiean of johnny deep and why not one for cat in the hat as for harry potter we need an interactive sorting hat to let it you choose your house ps do disney next and ps an xmen ride based of the 90s xmen cartoon or xmen movie either one and u can meet charles xavier and some of xmen members

Iam not sure how many people would agree but i want to see a tmnt land in ioa(the tmnt could work with the literature theme of the park due to them originating in comics)
What if we don’t update to Jurassic World and just update the aesthetics of the current theme? Personally, I HATE the cold futuristic tone of the world movies. Keep that jungle vibe man it’s an adventure!
