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.

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.
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).
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.
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
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.
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.)
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.
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.
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'.
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. ✨
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! ☺️
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.
@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.
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.
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.
@@jordanharman23 New JURASSIC WORLD: River Rescue (Mosasaurus, Baby Stegosaurus, Raptor, Blue, Indominus Rex and T-Rex) Coming to Universal Orlando Resort Universal’s Islands of Adventure JURASSIC WORLD: Theme Park Retheme
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.
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
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.
See, when I think of Toon Lagoon, I think that - even if a lot of people don’t know who the characters surrounding them are per se, those characters are what add to the charm of the area. I’m not saying we should never try to switch things out to bring better ideas in, but I think there’s value to keeping elements in the park with legacy classic cartoon characters in. I’m not sure exactly what that would look like in your ideal Islands, if at all, but I think it’s something worth taking a crack at, rather than dumping these characters altogether
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
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)
New JURASSIC WORLD: River Rescue (Mosasaurus, Baby Stegosaurus, Raptor, Blue, Indominus Rex and T-Rex) Coming to Universal Orlando Resort Universal’s Islands of Adventure JURASSIC WORLD: Theme Park Retheme
Love this and agree with a lot, love the idea of a park transport for when your tired but want to get to the other side of the park. My one baby I wouldn't want to loose is kong, sorry but I love that one though I love Jurassic IP more and that other ride looks amazing too! In an ideal world we'd get both haha
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
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.
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??
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.
@@brennacollins6000 Jurassic World: River Rescue Replace Jurassic Park: River Adventure and The Legend of Zelda Replace Poseidon’s Fury at Universal’s Islands of Adventure
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.
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
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.
You have great ideas for each land! I would love for the Lost Continent to turn into the Uncharted Series. I think the theming would be so similar so not much would need to be changed. Also would like to see the lagoon be utilized in someway (maybe your suggestion of bringing back the boat ride)
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.
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.
For my perfect Islands of adventure I keep the park as it is but add in a Shrek related land where lost continent is and add a mount crumpit coaster in Seuss landing.
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.
@@crassmonkey18 I see his point. The only way it can be better is if they keep the smell, the track, the well functioning animatronics and add a funny gag when it breaks down if mom finds the cat's mess and grounds her kids.
I loved all of your ideas hope some of them come true, they really have to start upgrading the old parks if they want to keep the crowds having Epic open
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?🤷🏽♀️
But the storm force ride is an x men ride. But it could use a projection over it to look like we are fighting Magneto. And they could add Captain America's ferris wheel in the front of the land.
I love the SpongeBob idea. I’m thinking that they should change toon Lagoon to glove world and make dudly doo right into the fiery fist of pain. I would actually love that idea.
they could theme the log flume to the rock bottom episode or maybe reference sand mountain from the show, and then the rapids could have something to do with plankton trying to turn the guests into chum and then the krusty crew save us or something silly like that.

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.
Agree completely with your stuff and all great ideas, except I’d make a change for Jurassic. I would make the whole land World as it’s already halfway there so give it cohesion. Turn river adventure into the Hollywood version and make the discovery the one from World. However while the dark ride looks amazing I’m not sure I’d put it in there. The boat ride already is focused on the Indominus and Trex fight that that ride builds to too. So feel it would cover too much of the same ground. I’d put in a flying theatre themed to a hang glider attraction. This could take some liberties with physics for up and down but could have close encounters with pteradons and other flying predators as well as any that could work into ground based, especially taller ones. This would give a new type of attraction to the park as well and cover another dinosaur aspect missed by the other rides.
I think these are brilliant ideas! I'm with you 100% of the way, except for replacing Toon Lagoon for SpongeBob. Everything else is just so on point, it sounds so wonderful. I hope Universal watches your videos! PS. How can I get my hands on that retro IOA t-shirt you're wearing in this video?!
I’m glad you like the ideas, Whitney! That’s very kind of you to say and I kinda hope Universal does see this lol. I got the shirt on Depop, a thrift shopping app!
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!
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".
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
I actually thought if they did Zelda, that Mythos would be themed more to the Goron Mines. Their storyline always features rock like food. They could do the Deku tree somewhere else and have small stage shows underneath it.

IMO people are sleeping on Shonen Jump being a replacement for either Toon Lagoon or The Lost Continent. It perfectly fits within the literature theme, and is insanely popular nowadays, with things like Dragon Ball, One Piece, My Hero Academia, etc. They're already selling a ton of anime merch in the parks, and have frequent collabs in Japan.
@@VincentVision Use Nova Blaster for Pikmin Attraction at Universal Studios Florida Similar to Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin from Magic Kingdom Replace Men in Black Alien Attack
One Idea I would love to see is a AR Theatre starting Woody and pals called "Woody Woodpeckers Toontasic Theatershow" where the plot is your usual cartoon till buzz the buzzard causing mayhem as he tried to "Control the show on the screen with the Universal Remote", with it being a parody of the great movie ride, but with films, and shows made primarily by Universal instead.
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
I’ve already dm’d the universal Orlando account twice about what they should do about Kong. The first idea is to redesign the ride to reflect the original kongfrontation more. And the second one is returning it to the scraped Jurassic park jeep ride or the Jurassic world ride from Beijing
My ideal Zelda attraction would be a walkthrough maze where you seek out and "battle" animatronic versions of class Zelda boss monsters like Aquamentus, Dodongo and Gleeok for pieces for of the Triforce. But I concede some sort of dark ride is more likely. I also think there should be a spot where you can try to pull out the Master Sword, similar to The Sword in The Stone at Disneyland. Personally, I like Universal having a tribute to the classic newspaper comic strips owned by its parent company. But if it had to be changed, I would retheme it to Toei Animation so we can still have a variety of different characters. Reskin Ripsaw Falls into a One Piece ride and use the amphitheater for a Sailor Moon and/or Dragonball Z stage show.
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.
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.

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...

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.
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

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).

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.
100% agree, Jurassic Park is just more timeless and matches better with the overall theming of IOA.

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.
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
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.
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.)
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.
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 make an expansion to Toon Lagoon where the theater is, with Woody Woodpecker, Curious George, Fievel, and more comic strip/cartoon characters.
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'.
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. ✨
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! ☺️
Lord of the Rings would fit perfectly in Lost Continent and continues the lands being based on books theme
Loved all these ideas, X-men, SpongeBob, JW Adventure, and Mt. Crumpit were my favorites
Yes I’ve been waiting for someone to make videos like this!
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.
Amazing plus ups! Collaboration 🤝

@@VincentVision Thank you for sparking the discussion! Love talking shop when it comes to the parks.
@@OfficiallyOfficiallyUnofficial Pikmin Replace Men in Black Alien Attack Similar to Wars: Rise of the Resistance The guns would be Pikmin throwers.
@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.
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.

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.
agreed. to cram in any new ideas/rides/shows that wouldn't fit otherwise, generally they can build high up, and maybe even over the water a bit.
I agree with a new show! I like the idea of doing one based off of the new Fall Guy movie but that would go in studios and not in IOA
That would be perfect, IOA already has a great variety of rides but sadly no shows
The Jurassic World idea, SpongeBob land, X-men ride?? Absolutely cooking in this video Vincent! 🔥

I know...another screen attraction but it would be different than anything universal currently has.
A legend of Zelda flight of passage ride would be a very good way to represent Zelda in universal

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
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.
See, when I think of Toon Lagoon, I think that - even if a lot of people don’t know who the characters surrounding them are per se, those characters are what add to the charm of the area. I’m not saying we should never try to switch things out to bring better ideas in, but I think there’s value to keeping elements in the park with legacy classic cartoon characters in. I’m not sure exactly what that would look like in your ideal Islands, if at all, but I think it’s something worth taking a crack at, rather than dumping these characters altogether
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
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)
Fun fact about the Spiderman ride, the voice of doc octopus is Roger Bumpass aka the voice of Squidward from SpongeBob.
So cool!
I love the idea of the Beijing Jurassic ride but I think keeping the river adventure as it is but add more dinos

Also.....a morshu meet and greet for the zelda ride....yep....the cdi character XD
That sponge bob land is such a good idea.
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.
@@BenspidermanH Retheme to Jurassic World: River Rescue
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??
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.

You’ve gotta do a universal studios version of this, that park needs much more help!
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.
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

I love the Marvel area it is timeless place before the Disney MCU
I love that 90s comic/cartoon aesthetic that’s what I think of when I think of Marvel
I agree with all of your changes! All of it would be awesome! I would be interested to hear what you would change about Studios!
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.
You have great ideas for each land! I would love for the Lost Continent to turn into the Uncharted Series. I think the theming would be so similar so not much would need to be changed. Also would like to see the lagoon be utilized in someway (maybe your suggestion of bringing back the boat ride)
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.
Great idea for more wand experience. And the Jurassic River changes would be awesome.
Why stop at SpongeBob? Make it an updated toon lagoon! Add a bunch of Nickelodeon shows! SpongeBob, Fairly Odd Parents, Rugrats, Danny Phantom, etc.
IIRC Mount Krumpit has been rumored for that expansion pad in Seuss Landing for years.
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.

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.

Agree completely with your stuff and all great ideas, except I’d make a change for Jurassic. I would make the whole land World as it’s already halfway there so give it cohesion. Turn river adventure into the Hollywood version and make the discovery the one from World. However while the dark ride looks amazing I’m not sure I’d put it in there. The boat ride already is focused on the Indominus and Trex fight that that ride builds to too. So feel it would cover too much of the same ground. I’d put in a flying theatre themed to a hang glider attraction. This could take some liberties with physics for up and down but could have close encounters with pteradons and other flying predators as well as any that could work into ground based, especially taller ones. This would give a new type of attraction to the park as well and cover another dinosaur aspect missed by the other rides.
I think these are brilliant ideas! I'm with you 100% of the way, except for replacing Toon Lagoon for SpongeBob. Everything else is just so on point, it sounds so wonderful. I hope Universal watches your videos! PS. How can I get my hands on that retro IOA t-shirt you're wearing in this video?!
I’m glad you like the ideas, Whitney! That’s very kind of you to say and I kinda hope Universal does see this lol. I got the shirt on Depop, a thrift shopping app!
@@VincentVisionSuper Mario Galaxy Add to Universal Epic Universe
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!
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".
The issue I have with JP changing to JW , is that JW the ride was pushed to fast, and if universal pushes it it would be pushed to fast
14:11 though he was gonna say that it would not exist 😅. But yeah, I agree, they should transition it to JW.
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
Boat ride makes sense because windwaker. The sheikh slate is ok. I would love a ocarina
@@JT_Toons there would definitely be both, but imagine having songs you can play around the land to make stuff happen 🤯
I actually thought if they did Zelda, that Mythos would be themed more to the Goron Mines. Their storyline always features rock like food. They could do the Deku tree somewhere else and have small stage shows underneath it.

IMO people are sleeping on Shonen Jump being a replacement for either Toon Lagoon or The Lost Continent. It perfectly fits within the literature theme, and is insanely popular nowadays, with things like Dragon Ball, One Piece, My Hero Academia, etc. They're already selling a ton of anime merch in the parks, and have frequent collabs in Japan.
Is it worth losing two major water rides in a Florida theme park?
@@VincentVision Use Nova Blaster for Pikmin Attraction at Universal Studios Florida Similar to Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin from Magic Kingdom Replace Men in Black Alien Attack
One Idea I would love to see is a AR Theatre starting Woody and pals called "Woody Woodpeckers Toontasic Theatershow" where the plot is your usual cartoon till buzz the buzzard causing mayhem as he tried to "Control the show on the screen with the Universal Remote", with it being a parody of the great movie ride, but with films, and shows made primarily by Universal instead.
I would love to see what your perfect USF would look like. You also earned a sub btw.
Saw you in universal in April, sadly was eating hot dog and didn’t notice til you walked away
adding more spells to all windows in hogsmeade would just block traffic even more
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
the krusty krab restaurant wouldn’t be done correctly unless plankton comes for the secret formula
The spider man ride does give memories since I was three
I’ve already dm’d the universal Orlando account twice about what they should do about Kong. The first idea is to redesign the ride to reflect the original kongfrontation more. And the second one is returning it to the scraped Jurassic park jeep ride or the Jurassic world ride from Beijing
I loved kongfrontation as a kid. It’s far superior to skull island
you should do this with Universal Orlando too
I got food poisoning from an egg at confisco’s so i feel like getting the place to serve breakfast is just asking for disaster.
My ideal Zelda attraction would be a walkthrough maze where you seek out and "battle" animatronic versions of class Zelda boss monsters like Aquamentus, Dodongo and Gleeok for pieces for of the Triforce. But I concede some sort of dark ride is more likely. I also think there should be a spot where you can try to pull out the Master Sword, similar to The Sword in The Stone at Disneyland.
Personally, I like Universal having a tribute to the classic newspaper comic strips owned by its parent company. But if it had to be changed, I would retheme it to Toei Animation so we can still have a variety of different characters. Reskin Ripsaw Falls into a One Piece ride and use the amphitheater for a Sailor Moon and/or Dragonball Z stage show.
Pikmin Replace Men in Black Alien Attack
Your X-men idea is absolutely brilliant. All the empty stages in IOA bother me so much. Such a waste of land.
Excellent ideas!!!
Hey Vincent I saw you at universal in men in black today
Yay! New upload!!
You should do this for the other park! That’s the one that needs some changes/additions to it more.
I’ll need to take some time and think about cause I agree
@@VincentVisionif you remove transformers I’m coming after you. If anything you better add to transformers
They sold a bunch of Park to Park tickets with the harry potter train.
Maybe add flu powder travel to Epic 🤔
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.
