Hoping a Trolls and Shrek mini-lands in this Land and the former Barney theater reserved for all the characters from Shrek, Trolls, Madagascar, & Kung Fu Panda.
I'm hoping for Pokemon but I know it isn't as it's gonna be a short and minor retheme. I'm saying Dreanworks but not Minions... Maybe Sing and some sort of small (non-ride) Secret Life of Pets inclusion
I live in NC and drive past south of the border on the way to Orlando all the time. It's always deserted and sketchy looking now lol love the podcasts keep it up!!
I'm expecting Pokémon or DreamWorks to replace KidZone. If it ends up being Pokémon, I think it'll be very likely that Lost Continent will become a Legend of Zelda area so all three parks has a Nintendo land. I'm excited either way for new rides!!
That’s assuming that If the plot of land between Wizarding World and the dual launch roller coaster at Epic Universe is reserved for a Lord of the Rings land, since the expansion space for Super Nintendo World there would mostly be taken up by Zelda. I bet Pokémon has plenty of attractions to make up that space.
@@Ihartwalrusguy Ah, I heard it'd be one Nintendo franchise in each park, just as there's a Harry Potter area in each park. If Zelda ends up in Universe, so be it, but Lord of the Rings would be very cool
I’d love something with hidden Pokémon around the land that change every now and then and you can catch them with a poke ball and keep track on your universal app.
I still think the smarter long term play is to save Pokemon for the theoretical 4th park east of Epic Universe for the same reason Mario was moved from KidZone to Epic Universe, to give the bigger franchise more space and room for expansion. The big problem with this is this means waiting like a decade at least for such a big property.
@@ItsTealAlright It isn't, but it's the smallest land in the park (due to the original design being to fit it into limited space), and there are plenty of other parts of the Mario universe they could use for expansions like New Donk City, Luigi's Mansion, Rosalina's Observatory, etc.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Your talks are always entertaining and educational. I even used one of your podcasts for a linguistic assignment. Keep up the great work.
I really don't want anything trolls, or even dream works if it was up to me. It's pretty dated and I would much rather have something like Spongebob that is timeless and most everyone can enjoy it.
the curious george area - KFP makes a lot more sense as there really isn't any BUILDINGS in the Madagascar films. Could you PLEASE do a mini video on this Earl the Squirrel lore? Hearing you two talk about it makes me want to know more than I do (which is 0%)
What I wish they would do is flatten the entire land and build a big roller coaster……. But…… the ideal land that I would be happy with but won’t happen is a flat ride, or a small coaster at animal actors, one at the back of park and one where et is. Then the create new play areas and meet n greets. That’s my master plan.
Why are there always cups falling on tile floors in the background of these podcasts? Is it an Easter egg? Are we supposed to comment the time stamp???
Lol, churro stands ALWAYS Churro stands, I swear you guys would play a Theme Park simulator and just wreak havoc like Let's Game it out. Just walkways filled with Churro stands, Ques for lines filled with Churro carts, instead of a Train, the track is just a ring of Churro stands BYYYEEEHElpme, is the best signoff!
I just want a Harry Potter level build out for Shrek. Kingdom of far far away, poison apple pub, muffin man bake shoppe, charming‘s dinner theater. Is that too much to ask?
I think Disney wants Simpsons back so I doubt there will be a Bikini bottom or SpongeBob land. They gotta keep a splash area for the Florida heat. And I really want to see them expand into the backlot areas to give us something special. I mentioned elsewhere an indoor/outdoor coaster...like a Madagascar Escape to Africa that starts out slow moving through sets and screens and then takes off into coaster form (sorta like test track maybe). Universal is really coming for families. If you want a suggestion from out of left field... a Mini Marvel Superhero Campus (but that will never happen).
What do you think is replacing KidZone!?

Ok an about time time for new rides
I’m still wondering if Springfield would close before or after Epic Universe opens, and what will replace it.

So happy to see another Podcast already! I was just looking for something to listen to whilst getting through work. Thanks Alicia! :)
I live in NC and drive past south of the border on the way to Orlando all the time. It's always deserted and sketchy looking now lol love the podcasts keep it up!!
I was wondering what it’s like nowadays. I haven’t been by in years!

I'm praying for pokemon to replace kidzone. Universal Florida would be stupid to not do pokemon in one of thier Florida parks.
I’d love something with hidden Pokémon around the land that change every now and then and you can catch them with a poke ball and keep track on your universal app.
I don’t think they would without Super Nintendo land open yet, most likely dream works

@@TheNamekianClown I could see Pokémon as an EU expansion in Nintendo land. It’s not specifically mario, is it?

you're a great channel and i can't stop watching you, i went back years and still found GREAT videos!!
Yay! Thanks!
@@ThemeParkStop that was quick lol
The curse can never truly be broken... Can it???
Thanks for the update, Can't wait until it is revealed what is exactly happening. Lol
They did it... Those crazy executives actually did it... D:
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Your talks are always entertaining and educational. I even used one of your podcasts for a linguistic assignment. Keep up the great work.
Thanks! Now I’m intrigued by the topic of the assignment though!
No one should be studying my linguistics…but this is pretty cool.

at the end of my vids i always say "always pay the admission price" but now i'm saying "always stand on your dot"
tbh my favourite area of the park was kids zone because its so charming
If they retheme Nuthouse to Trolls, wouldn’t it be a Troller Coaster?
Perfect. No notes.
you guys had me laughing at the end!!! Stay on your DOT or i will expand into Kidzone! 😂

I love this idea. I might have to.
A DreamWorks themed carousel, to Madagascar to replace Fievel Playland. Every park needs a caousel.
There is a new kung fu panda movie announced for march 2024 so having kfp included with Dreamworks properties seems likely!
Love the podcast. Hope for pokemon in the kids area and more movie making rides for universal.
I’m buying that earl the squirrel plush
I think if we don’t see Kung Fu Panda in this new mish mash zone, we can presume they are saving it for its own land at some stage much like HTTYD.
That’s what I’ve been thinking!

I believe those are Ian’s dogs dropping doggy bones on the tile in the background lol
They are def doggos dropping their bones. Hah.
me: reads the title
also me: when they ask you how you're doing and you have to say you're fine when you're not really fine

BYYYEEEHElpme, is the best signoff!
The CURSE is over! Put donkey in front of Animal actors XD
heyy kids!!!!!👏🏼😆✌🏼
1st I hope they replace it with something good and well themed
Dreamworks will probably be the replacement. I just hope ET gets a massive refurbishment like Mummy just did to get it back to its former glory.
I just want a Harry Potter level build out for Shrek. Kingdom of far far away, poison apple pub, muffin man bake shoppe, charming‘s dinner theater. Is that too much to ask?
Universal Singapore has it! It looks awesome
@@jumuliah Yeah, that’s exactly what I had in mind! Might have to be a scaled down version, but with a few new ideas or updates thrown in.
super nintendo world will be in the kidzone in the future ?
super nintendo world is going to epic universe
Paw Patrol and Dora the Explorer have the best chances in my opinion to replace that area
Hoping something good goes in here. Or at least something worthy of replacing the current Kidzone lol
Was that Zelda replacing Jaws joke just a joke or based on real info? I'd actually be surprised if Japan got Zelda since it's not that popular there.
The new land will be called Dreamworks, Dreamworks, KidZone!
I hope we get Dreamworks in that area. Probably the dreamworks theater?
Isn’t it suppose to be the Red Woods in the queue???
Shhhh, let me have my pine scent in the redwood forest
for Christmas im asking for your MERCH cuz i need it
Will you be doing a video on the recent classic monsters epic universe rumors.
I am working on a big recap video for Monsters soon though and will get deeper into everything we know so far!
@@ThemeParkStop mkay
@@ThemeParkStop I heard a rumor that the monsters are gonna come alive and eat the children who don’t behave.

DONKEY AND ALICIA ARE FRIENDS!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!
