Several Universal Studios Orlando rides are about to meet their demise. Universal Orlando Resort has announced that the KidZone land will be closing in Universal Studios Orlando 2023. Woody Woodpecker's Nuthouse Coaster, Curious George Goes to Town, Fievel's Playland, Dreamworks Destination, and the Shrek and Donkey meet and greet are among the Universal Orlando rides closing. It is not often we see so many theme park rides close at once, however Universal Studios rides are not like other theme parks. With Universal Epic Universe Orlando on the way, this does seem like odd timing to close these amusement park rides. That being said, Universal Studios Orlando 2022 is notorious for having fast turn around times on construction, unlike Walt Disney World who takes ages to build any theme park rides. The question remains however, what will replace KidZone at Universal Studios 2022? Today, we answer that question!

It will actually become a Shark Tale land and the main attraction will be a simulator ride where you are Chris Rock from Madagascar and you are being slapped by Will Smith Fish at the Dreamworks Oscars.

I am so glad that KidZone is FINALLY hitting the dust! 🤣 It was definitely the most dated section of the park, with only ET Adventure and the Spongebob store keeping it afloat (I love both of those actually so I'm super glad they've been spared!) so I really hope the replacement for this area will be pretty polished and still fun for kids and families! The idea that this area will become Dreamworks themed is honestly perfection, as Illumination already has heavy prevalence in the different Universal parks and doesn't really need more rep, and I feel like bringing back Shrek, alongside other popular Dreamworks characters like Po, Hiccup & Toothless, Alex, etc will be better for things in the long run!

Kidszone’s closure is bittersweet in my eyes. On one hand, it was long overdue for a retheme but on the other hand, it was somewhat apart of my childhood so it is kinda sad to see it go. However, one IP I’d love to see take over it is Dreamworks.

@emilygore2000 Год назад

Honestly, from the last few visits that I've been to Universal Orlando (which would be about 5 visits in the past two months), I've been noticing more and more Sonic plushes, and considering how closesly related Paramount and Universal are, I wouldn't be surprised if they added something for Sonic, which would make it easy for them too, just retheme the Woody's coaster to Sonic and you have a kiddy sonic ride, have a chili dog stand, make tons off of merch from both games and movies (especially if they make chao plushes), just honestly feels like a no=brainer to me.

@AttractionIdeas Год назад

Sonic would be interesting and could work if they decided to go with a third party property. After all, Mario and Sonic are notorious for teaming up at this point…

@Gforu81 Год назад

@TheRealPSKilla502 Год назад

I like the idea, but I'm sorta weary about going out and grabbing all kinds of different 3rd party IPs when they already have plenty of good properties in their Dreamworks lineup that could become excellent park additions. I think the HTTYD rumors for Epic Universe sound very promising, and the Shrek and KFP attractions at other parks are also good, so why not focus on those series more instead of messing with 3rd party licensing?

@coolioam8137 Год назад

The dream would be a Pokemon themed area. I think that could potentially look so amazing with the animatronic possibilities. We know they can pull it off with what they have done with Super Nintendo World.

@danielhawthorne1838 Год назад

Yes. I don't see why Universal doesn't jump on Pokémon asap. If they want that insane money. They will do that. Think of it.

@EagleRyan14 Год назад

I like your ideas and predictions a lot, especially rerouting the ET entrance and keeping it (though I could see them taking out Animal Actors to free up even more space). I think the Dreamworks set of mini lands is the best move, as long as they make them somewhat immersive with 1-2 attractions each. I’m hoping for 2 big attractions (both to open later), with one in the front of the land and one in the back. I’d love to see the Secret Life of Pets ride come elsewhere in the park (maybe replacing Jimmy Fallon?)

@thewhiteasian9703 Год назад

Yeah Animal Actors like Kidzone is dated, at the very least it could use a glow up likely a replacement though imo

@joshberninger8355 Год назад

Yea I think some of the things saved could still be on chopping block for a phase 2 expansion. Or given that Animal Actors is on the outskirts they could have SLoP take its place too, thoigh prefer that loot go to Dreamworks and SLoP replace Fallon.

@joshcurtiss8071 Год назад

I believe that it is the best move too. The properties are well known, and while it makes sense for the park itself, it’s a positive addition, and makes the area unique to Universal. You don’t see DreamWorks mini-lands all together in a row.

@bluegold1026 Год назад

You make some good points about it turning into a Dreamworks land. When I first heard the news, the first thing I thought of was a land dedicated to Universal Kids properties. They have a lot of those. Then again, that could instead replace Toon Lagoon over at IoA.

@googamp32 Год назад

No huge loss, I guess. E.T. Adventure is the only thing I really care about in that land, and the fact that it's sticking around is only a net positive for everyone. As for your replacement ideas, I'd be down with a DreamWorks land... Except for the possibility of the "Trolls" section. I'd much rather have a section dedicated to something like "The Croods", or "Monsters Vs. Aliens", or even "The Prince Of Egypt" or "Sinbad: Legend Of The Seven Seas", just because I'm old school.

@AttractionIdeas Год назад

I agree. I’m not too thrilled about Trolls either. But, it serves a market that other Dreamworks franchises don’t so I would understand if that ends up being a mainstay in the new land.

@joshberninger8355 Год назад

Same not excited about Trolls but given it’s popularity I’m sure it will be included. Have been rumors of a Trolls dark ride but hoping for Shrek or Kung Fu Panda for that.

@TheRealPSKilla502 Год назад

They are taking out the "kids" section of the park, so they should have something oriented more toward younger audiences to appeal to fill that void. As far as the other franchises go, HTTYD getting its own full-fledged land in Epic Universe is the right move, and I think a franchise like Shrek or KFP should follow suit and replace the MIB/Fear Factor land, bring some more thematic consistency to the back end of Studios. I could also see one of those IPs being used as a replacement for Lost Continent or Toon Lagoon eventually.

That’s my hope. Shrek has shown the most longevity as a franchise as people still talk about and love the first two, and another Puss movie coming out. Expect them to eventuslly do another Shrek as well. Can be a cohesive land with variety between the swamp/forest and castle/Far Far Away city.

I read somewhere that when they tore down Shrek 4D they only demolished one of the theaters for the new minion ride. Shrek 4-D had two theaters for capacity. They were going to use the extra theater for HHN but I think, eventually, they might turn it into the Sing Show. Eventually, they might get rid of Transformers or something around there for the Pets Ride and USO will have a full Illumination area

@AttractionIdeas Год назад

I could definitely see that happening. Turning that second theater into another attraction would be a great way to make the most of the space.

@Chaorappa Год назад

Honestly id say this is one of the most SOLID predictions ive heard yet. It makes so much sense that universal would gravitate towards more than one dreamworks IP, considering that HTTYD is possibly getting a WHOLE DEDICATED LAND in a whole NEW/seperate park. If you think about it, universal dosent have much KID DEDICATED rides in that specific park other than minions and MAYBE transformers (depending on the age range ya know) so a fresh slate for kidzone with dreamworks sounds PERFECT for the land (Also because kids nowadays dont even RECOGNIZE the characters there with the exception of MAYBE ET😭). Id say the only thing is that ET and spongebob might stick out a bit as a sore thumb?? Especially if its going to be all dreamworks related, so im kinda hoping that at least ONE of those gets axed in the long run so the land could have a bit more room for universal to work with. But wow, amazing prediction man. Lets hope your track record keeps rollin for this one!!

@ThisIsEloy3 Год назад

I feel like they are just gonna blow our minds with it for some reason, you brought up a good point about Shrek returning, I think they could easily just be giving him his own stand alone 3-D thrill ride in the area, then having a couple smaller zones for things like Madagascar and maybe Trolls(like they did with Curious George and Fievel) then I think they will just add on a full on attraction for Kung Fu Panda.

@TheRealPSKilla502 Год назад

I agree. The smart move would be to give Shrek its own land, not just a simulator-in-a-warehouse attraction like before. A combination Madagascar, Trolls, etc. land would make sense as a replacement for Kid Zone, since they are aimed at younger audiences, so they would fill the void. KFP is probably later down the line, but should definitely get a full-size attraction.

@queenofdisaster3480 Год назад

I feel like Dreamworks will go in epic universe for a proper land though. I saw someone on TikTok propose Pokémon as a joke, but honestly that makes 100% sense to me. Universal may want to keep that video game theme going cross parks, similar to how Harry Potter goes across parks. And what better way than through Pokémon? Edit: I changed my mind when I heard Madagascar proposed. However, I think we should note this land will likely stay a KIDS area. And while we adults grew up w Marty and Alex, the kids didn’t. My current guess is still Pokémon, but now adding in that it could also be Trolls, since that’s hot w the kids right now

@GoogalyB Год назад

Something I feel they could do is, instead of making phase 2 simply expanding the entrance way, what if they took over Simpsons? We’re all well aware that section’s days are numbered given Disney’s ownership of the property and the contract expiring in 2028. They could demolish Animal Actors and utilize the space from both Animal Actors and the Simpsons Ride for a big E-Ticket Dreamworks attraction.

This is a possibility. The Dreamworks properties are definitely big enough to fill in the space and I don’t think it would hurt to continue expanding the park’s kid-friendly offerings.

My hope would be for a more immmersive land themed after a single franchise like their Asian parks have for Shrek and King Fu Panda. However I think a general Dreamworks overlay of the current stuff is the most likely, with opportunities to expand with new attractions in the future for a phase 2. This will allow a quick change to get it open for 2024 while also updating the area. Hope they at least add another flat or two. If they could add a dark ride in time for the opening that would be amazing.

@TheRealPSKilla502 Год назад

I agree, I would hope they save Shrek and KFP for their own individual lands, maybe as a replacement for MIB/Fear Factor, Lost Continent, or Toon Lagoon. It doesn't have to be as big as Potter, Nintendo, HTTYD, etc., but it should at least have 1 major attraction and some shopping/dining options. For the Kid Zone replacement, I feel like they would use franchises aimed at younger audiences, like Trolls, or the non-Minions Illumination franchises.

@joshberninger8355 Год назад

@@TheRealPSKilla502 I think Shrek/Puss land could work well especially with the recent success of Puss in Boots 2 and would appeal to kids and adults alike.

Universal already confirmed that the front of the park will be officially named “ Minion Land on Illumination Avenue.” That leaves DreamWorks properties to be used. I firmly believe that they will build mini-lands of all the popular DreamWorks franchises, while having one or two attractions in each land with a gift shop. I am all for this idea, but at the same time, we’ll have to wait and see.

they also can knock down the old parade buidling behind Kidzone to give it more space as well

From my visit years ago, the only thing I even remembered was the Water Slide, ET, and a SpongeBob store.

@onionking6486 Год назад

My money is a Dreamworks land since they already have a good deal of Illumination attraction and more when the new minions ride opens up in the near future. I feel the Shrek and Donkey MnG being moved there was a subtle clue on the parks end since I find it extremely unlikely they'd move it 3 times in such short time and notice and it would make too much sense not to make it Shrek or multiple Dream Works IPs on a single plot of land considering Kidzone was basically that in itself albeit stuff that hasn't been used or seen for 25 plus years.

@ACfairgrounds Год назад

I believe my personal opinion ET will never be touched is Steven Spielberg won't let that happen and I'm pretty sure his family won't let that be destroyed either

What we really need is more walk around costume characters. Disney has/had a walk around character for almost every movie in their catalog, and DreamWorks has just as many iconic characters that would be fun to see if Universal put in the effort. Sure we get icons like Shrek and Kung Fu Panda and Trolls, but don't tell me getting characters like Megamind wouldn't be awesome. Heck, you can just get some teen workers and dress them up as vikings for How To Train Your Dragon, epically since that's getting a whole land at Epic Universe.

Plot twist: it's a Lord of the Rings land but specifically themed after the animated version with the "where there's a whip there's a way" number

@chromplex Год назад

You forgot to mention, regarding Shrek, that a 5th film/reboot has been in development hell for a while now- a Dreamworks land with heavy Shrek emphasis to drum up hype for that reboot wouldn't be unrealistic. Great insight as always, either way!

I wish. Absolutely loved that movie. Unfortunately it's both too new and too unknown (relatively speaking) for it to have a major presence here.

@New3DSLuigi364 Год назад

@@AttractionIdeas I Mean It's based off of the Books; and those came out in 2015. . . 7 years ago and How is it unknown; It made $250,000,000 in box offices worldwide. . . I Get that the Books were relatively Niche & Unknown to the Mass Majority of People not already into those books prior to the Movie(which I'm Pretty sure DEFINITELY brought more attention to the books of the same name from people who liked & watched the movie); But How Long will it take until we EVER get ANYTHING Related to "The Bad Guys" at the theme Park?!

@kingrowla Год назад

Makes sense, probably hitting slight delays at Epic, plenty of workers and equipment currently contracted out, maybe have to order material in bulk so maybe being resourceful here and divert small portion to Universal. Pretty smart. I think Trolls. I just think there is more potential with shows, characters etc. it's more robust. I also think you'll see some tunneling features that will double for horror nights as well.

@ryanmiddleton3788 Год назад

What I was going to suggest was something you covered right when I was writing this - move ET entrance to Hollywood Bvd. It would be too predictable to say Pokemon as everyone has been saying that since Super Nintendo World was announced for the parks, however, Japan is introducing Pokemon into their park. Illumination definitely no, too many IPs scattered about in one park. Why have Minions at the entrance then Pets or Sing on the other end of the park. Epic Universe would be better for this then you could have an Illumination themed land for all the IPs. 100% agree with Dreamworks. Retrack the Woody Woodpecker coaster and retheme to Dragon from Shrek or the plane from Madagascar. A Trolls musical boat ride could go down well. Kung Fu Panda or Madagascar show to replace Animal Actors. Couple flat rides like carousel, spinning tops themed to other IPs as well. I think Spongebob in the park has completely died now so eventually the store or Spongebob as a whole is better off going.

@ThrillCoasters305 Год назад

It’s going to be an Over the Hedge land, anything else is not going to do any ROI and they have to play the song from the movie in endless loops.

@katiem9025 Год назад

I wonder too if the reason animal actors/spongebob storepants isn't going is because universal is waiting out their contract with simpsons. That is also a fair chunk of land that could be used for other purposes. If universal decides not to fight to keep Simpsons or negotiations with Disney don't go well, Universal could very well demolish the land and expand the new kids zone. It could also be to see how well the new land/epic universe phase out. If everything goes smoothly, then it could be that studios gets a big face lift. I went last month for HHN, and the back of the park is looking pretty rough around the edges. Men in Black was running on the slow side, the simpsons ride was sure a ride, and over all everything needed some love that it just was not getting. As sad as I would be if MiB went, I would hope Universal could breath some life into that section of the park.
