The only land I’d ever accept to replace the Simpsons is Spongebob Land. Easy to retheme, change the Twirl n Hurl to a Jellyfish ride, throw away Woody Woodpecker and expand farther back to create a boat ride Tunnel of Glove, then a indoor rollercoaster themed to fit the first Spongebob Movie (with a drop into Rock Bottom).
I feel like Disney does care about The Simpsons, but definitely wouldn’t incorporate it into their theme parks. It just doesn’t fit with the Disney feel. But I do feel like Disney will try to negotiate for Marvel in the near future
@@Katie-xd1nt honestly, I feel like Disney should be smart with their IP. The marvel deal only excludes families and groups included in universal, which is the avengers, Spider-Man, F4, and the x men. But they don’t have the guardians, and more importantly, wakanda, imagine building Wakanda in animal kingdom with the black panther statue from the end of Civil War upon the entrance of that land. That is the best idea they can do, full wakanda near Africa in Animal Kingdom
Revenge of the Mummy is one of the greatest rides I have ever been on and is my favorite in both parks, I really hope they don’t replace it, it would be a huge loss.
@@devonritchie1899 bru ur the kind of guy who feels Supercharged is the best ride out there. Mummy is a great themed thrill coaster, with great drops and airtime, and thrills and phobias around every corner. Seems you don't belong here if you cant respect someone's opinion.
Disney will NOT give up The Simpsons. The Simpsons is Disney +'s most watched show in terms of watch time, which is what Streaming platforms care about most.
@Dusk Raccoon Like I said in terms of watch time, The Simpsons is the big winner. The Mandalorian is the show they use to sell people on getting Disney+
@@Clay3613 If it is popular they will make it, there are rumours of them looking at ips like Ice Age, Alien and The Simpsons as possibilities for the parks. They did Avatar which is a much less popular IP.
There seems to be a constant appreciation for the "90s" and universal even sells retro apparel. Make the back of the park a true "backlot" and bring back the old rides in a new way. "See the stars again. Ride the movies one more time"
You know for a long time I was a firm believer that Universal would never bring back their old rides. But after seeing Kong come back (albeit under much different circumstances) and Universal starting to sell merch based on old rides, I really can’t put it out of the realm of possibility for them to bring some of these rides back.
If Universal and Warner Bros merge like they’ve been rumored to we could see DC which I think expires with Six flags in 2028, Dune if that’s popular, and more Monsterverse and Harry Potter stuff
@@sportsfan7429 spiderman is owned by Disney, only the film rights are licensed to Sony. If Comcast and AT&T merge then they would have to go through Disney for an attraction. (Even though at that point they would own all of dc so getting any marvel character would fall under a monopoly.)
It’s like NBC/Universal has the rights to Nickelodeon properties and aren’t utilizing them to their full potential like I understand Jimmy Neutron is of more of an oldie but Spongebob is still going strong to this day, it’s Nickelodeon’s baby and Universal could really capitalize off of that in a land/ attraction form. It would do so well for the park and I mean with the longevity of Spongebob, it could become a mainstay at the parks and could allow us to experience Bikini Bottom in a way we never thought we could.
@Jonathan Pal The closure of Nickelodeon Studios was Viacom's own decision to scale back the (mostly) live-action productions taking place there. There's nothing that indicates a direct rift between Universal and Viacom; as far as we know, it was a mutual decision between both parties.
@Jonathan Pal Thank you for the insight, genuinely. I... tend to speak a tad out of my ass when it comes to anything with Nickelodeon, since I didn't grow up watching much of the channel or consuming any of its related media. That said, your stance only seems to enforce the idea that Nick's "Orlando leave" was a mutual benefactor for both parties. Nick didn't have a need for two simultaneous studios, and the rent required for upkeep within an active theme park was likely catching up to Viacom. I'd hardly consider what went down between Universal and Viacom a violent break-up. Besides, the Nick brand still has a slight presence at the Florida Universal parks; Nicktoon Blast, adjacent to the former Nickelodeon Studios, operated for a further 6 years after active show production ended, there's the incorporation of SpongeBob/Dora characters within the Superstar Parade (although this may be subject to change because of COVID,) and of course SpongeBob StorePants. TL;DR, I don't buy into the mindset that Universal and Viacom are on bad terms, they're friendly enough for being media giants.
One additional info that wasn’t mentioned here: The Simpsons is no longer that popular in the US, but it’s still immensely popular in other areas of the world (like Latin America). In countries like Argentina, they’ve become an integral part of the culture, and most people in their 30s and younger will know the dialogues and every episode by heart. Orlando receives mostly international tourists (Brazil and Argentina being two of the major tourist exporters), not just Americans. It’s worth mentioning that these international tourists (which represent millions of dollars) will keep flocking to the Simpsons area.
The only worth while parts of the universal parks is Harry Potter and the Simpsons. If universal does keep the themed area, I would hope that they expand. Cause the Springfield area is lack lustre. I would much rather have Disney do a Springfield area cause I know they will do it justice.
I think you're underestimating how much Disney values the Simpsons. They've stuck to producing more seasons and have gotten new voice actors to replace some of the established ones due to the POC characters controversy, but this also shows that Disney is willing to update the show. And more importantly, I argue that the Simpsons is Disney+'s secret weapon. The Simpsons is almost always in the top 5 highest trending shows on D+, and much like how the Office and Friends were mega hits on Netflix, the Simpsons provides an easily bingeable, long running established sitcom that's become a mainstay on the service.
I can totally see the Simpsons and Marvel theme right beings traded off in exchange for universal getting the film rights to things Disney really does not want (Aliens, Predator, Planet of the Apes).
Disney does care about Simpsons to some degree. The show and movie were a huge part of the marketing for Disney+. But I don’t know if they care about it so much to the point that they’d want it back from Universal. I honestly think that Disney will let them keep Simpsons and throw in a few extras in exchange for Marvel, as Disney definitely cares more about Marvel than they care about Simpsons. Disney definitely doesn’t care much about Family Guy as it’s not very family friendly and not on Disney+, so maybe they let them turn Marvel into Quahog and throw in a few more IPs they don’t care about? Idk honestly.
@@lolplzlolplz1 Not in the US but other countries recently got a whole bunch of movies/shows aimed more at adults like Family Guy, Futurama, 24, Modern Family, Blackish, Atlanta, Deadpool, Lost, Castle, One Hour Photo, Grey's Anatomy, Scrubs, HIMYM, The X Files, Scandal, Dodgeball and lots more
@@joevictor53 unfortunately, the US version of Disney+ is the minority when it comes to global numbers most disney+ markets include star and all the adult content. Americans are just paying extra for hulu and espn+ when overseas markets get them all under just 1 app, disney+
I think Universal picking up DC rights would be awesome Imagine walking through Gotham City and the themed rides you could make. You could retheme the Hulk into a Green Latern ride.
I hope they won’t I love Springfield and the Simpsons! They belong at Universal Studios. I hope Universal will make a deal with Disney to get the full rights. Plus we could see more Simpsons at the parks!
I kind of want to see what Imagineers could do with the property, but I don't see the things that make Springfield in Universal so cool carrying over to a Disney park. I think it's a better fit for Universal.
Disney was happy to have the simpsons on Disney+, so while I don’t think they’re rushing to get them to shut simpsons down the way they are marvel, I don’t think they’re going to sell universal the rights. they want the streaming rights to themselves.
I doubt it. The only reason that they would do this would be if they were planning on rebooting the movies, or making sequels. And from what I've read, they want to keep the nostalgia of the originals and never do any reboots, sequels, or remakes.
dude, i know a great idea for a new land to replace this! let's do a fast & furious land and put fast & furious: supercharged; The party's back on! we can do a slow moving dark ride with heavy screens and no props
I find it unlikely that the Simpsons will go away. If Universal can hang on to their Marvel Superhero Island at Islands of Adventure and remain popular and successful, I'm sure Universal will hang on to The Simpsons for a long time.
I just went to universal mummy ride is so fun at Florida. They would be dumb to remove it when it’s the funnest coaster. Simpsons is fun as well. Remove fast furious hot garbage of a bud ride. It was worse then King Kong😂
Listen I don’t like the ride because it scares me but the ride is iconic I don’t think it will be removed anytime soon and if universal does remove it, it will be so dumb 😅😂
@@curtailedbike4123 But they wouldn't have the powers to do that. Because Disney outright owns everything Marvel. That would mean that Disney would literally have Universal by the balls IF they wanted to say something like that. I mean look at the Marvel stuff in Disneyland California, Disneyland Tokyo etc. ALL Marvel characters are there - Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man etc. The only ones that are not there are X-Men.
Jokes on Disney, even this happens to both Hollywood and Orlando or just Orlando, Universal can ask Nintendo if they can start construction of a USA nintendo land
I read in a book on the history of Universal Orlando. In the book, it was said that Universal and Disney do support each other when it comes to giving Orlando the name in offering the best theme entertainment in the world, albeit the parks are still one-upping the other in fair competition. The most value that The Simpsons are seen in Disney's wallet is the land at Universal and streaming; with that said, I can only see Disney allowing Universal to keep Simpsons for the royalties or open negotiations in keeping the licensing fees fair for Simpsons so that Disney can build an Avengers Campus, but allow Universal to keep Marvel Island as well. My dream replacement for The Simpsons is a Universal "ride the movies" Classics land. They can bring back BTTF, remove MIB and Fear Factor to create a backlot vibing land with Jaws, Earthquake, Beetlejuice, Kong (NYC), BTTF, Ghostbusters, Twister, Nickelodeon, Terminator; basically a fucking museum for a 90s era Universal. I mean, E.T. isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so Universal may as well blend it back to its early days.
@@Clay3613 wrong cause a lot of other people in their opinions and stuff is such a classic movie and ET Ride wouldn’t be going anywhere since Steven Spielberg actually told universal to keep it since it such a iconic and classic ride so they will hold on to ET and no offense but I think you have a bad taste in classics.
If they do it would be yet another reason visiting Disney theme parks is nowhere to be found on my bucket list (since it would probably be their fault). Even if they installed a multi-launch giga RMC that's heavily themed to Wreck it Ralph.
@@Sokobansolver Honestly it really shoukd stay out of your bucket list, Disney is a shitty company that only cares about money. $200 for a one day ticket? What the hell
@@iParaShane The pricing on the website says that a 1 day ticket ranges from 140-160 (which is around 200 including taxes, food etc). Obviously buying a ticket for more days is going to become increasingly cheaper because you buy in bulk
@@pkeetrypt7654 To be honest, I really want to check out California Adventure again because I really like the Cars area and the new Avengers Campus area.
I think it'd be interesting to see a Burtonland. Beetlejuice, Frankenweenie, James and the Giant Peach, Corpse Bride, even Mars Attacks have potential for rides and attractions. Plus they are owned by Universal themselves. If they wanted to go third party, their work on Nintendoland could expand to a Pokémon themed world. Either that or a Scooby Doo island with Warner Bros.
You know that none of the movies you said that Universal owns themselves is owned by them actually right? Frankenweenie and James and the Giant Peach are owned by Disney, with James not even being a Tim Burton movie, is a Henry Sellick movie and Beetlejuice, Corpse Bride and Mars Attacks are Warner movies....
The original idea for toon lagoon was supposed to be hanna barbera themed but they couldnt get the rights, so they licensed classic comic strip characters instead
If the ride ever goes away (which I hope it doesn’t since I love it so much), I’d love to see Back to the Future The Ride return with some updates to make it more a bit fitting for modern day. I’d also love to see a mini Hill Valley area be put in place for the Springfield area.
The way I’ve been binge watching all of your videos and I’m actually here at Universal Studios Orlando for spring break. I love the Simpsons Ride, the Springfield set up in the park as a whole and I want something new as well but I don’t know what would be the right fit to replace Springfield. There really isn’t a big Nickelodeon presence in the parks anymore I mean Jimmy Neutron was the last Nick ride we had and I feel like maybe turning Springfield into Bikini Bottom would be very good like you suggested in the other videos. I am huge Spongebob fan and just imagine a Spongebob ride
@@AttractionIdeas Shocked it never happened. Maybe they demanded BIG BIG time money hence why it never happened but the possibilities they could have done
I could see Spongebob as a potential replacement to the Simpsons. They could retheme Krusty Land into Glove World and Springfield into Bikini Bottom with the Krusty Krab as a replacement for the Krusty Burger restaurant. Spongebob still has a presence in the park from the gift shop at the Kids Zone to the parade float from Super Star Parade. Fun fact: There was going to be a Spongebob land at Universal Studios Beijing before it became Kung Fu Panda.
They got another seven years to figure it out. Personally I'd like to see a mini Pokémon section that hypes up the eventual addition of Nintendo IPs to the parks.
@@aphoticphoton world expo was used back in the 90s for Back to the Future, Animal Actors and E.T. Men in Black was added in 2000,and E. T and Animal Actors moved into Kidzone when it opened in 1998. When BTTF was replaced with simpsons in 2008, the area around it was becoming too uniftting so they rethemed it to Springfield in 2013 and the only attraction left in world expo was MIB. when Potter opened, Fear Factor became part of world expo (it was part of San Francisco before) that's the summary of world expo over the years.
@Onoitsbroko I love those donuts as well but if universal forced to give up Simpsons they have to give up the donuts. At least the name. They are very popular and I’m sure they would find a way to still sell them but would have to be under a different name
I think the best theme for Universal to replace the Simpsons with is a Dreamworks Animation area. Who wouldn’t want to go on a ride themed off of the Croods ,Abominable, or Trolls?
You know what? What if they let them keep Simpsons in exchange for an altered marvel deal with Universal. Where they keep marvel (mostly because its more comic based) and through this new deal Disney can put MCU marvel in disney world? But they make sure to make an MCU land thats better than universals marvel land so this way here if guests want the "definitive" Marvel experience they have to go to Disney for it.
That could work, but I feel like from Universal's perspective if Disney can make their own Marvel land, it would significantly decrease the value of Marvel at Universal since it would lose most of its exclusivity. Thus Universal would still most likely get rid of the land if a deal like this was to be cut.
@@AttractionIdeas I'd see it as universals Marvel has nostalgia attached to it. People will always want to go there. Then you'll get the people who will automatically have the MCU land because its not what they're used to and in turn go visit universal. I think universal would be perfectly fine because there would be two different versions. If disney was trying to recreate universal marvel land thats a different story. But they wouldn't do that
If they made a spongebob land they wouldn't really change just a KRUSTY KRAB -the bear rename some stuff give some stuff a spongebob make over and boom
It's impossible for Disney to move the simpsons ride from universal studios to Walt Disney World and Disneyland, since they own fox now. But I hope universal studios keep the Simpsons ride! I love it!
Alas, of the Simpsons had to go, they can always bring back Back to the Future and replace Springfield with Hill Valley. Bring back the Back to the Future gift shop, include restaurants that sell back to the future hot dogs and have a restaurant called Doc Browns fried chicken, like what Universal Studios Hollywood used to have. Bring back the original ride, update in 3D/High Definition, and replace 2015 with 1975 to avoid this ride from being outdated.
@adventures of santos Maybe. If possible. Just have Doc brown say, "Hill Valley in the year 2015 has been altered". Then, he'll say "There's Biff, let's get him." Perhaps have another restaurant themed from the hill Valley malt shop in 1955. Or maybe a restaurant called, "Mad Dog's BBQ."
I don’t really like the simpsons ride and I usually skip it. I love the show but I don’t really like the land at universal and would much rather have back to the future.
I can't see why Disney would want to phase out the Simpsons IP, since they're such a popular franchise. That's like ending all production of Mickey Mouse or Spongebob cartoons. However, I think they will pull the "Marvel for Simpsons" deal since Marvel is such a priceless and important IP for them at the moment.
the projectors are misaligned and I literally know how to fix it and its soooooo frustrating cuz it's the easiest fix in the world and would make all the difference
I think Disney will let universal keep the Simpsons, if I remember Bob Chapeck back when he was the head of theme park division said something of the line of “We do not plan to integrate any characters from the Fox library into are theme parks out side of maybe a meet and greet” witch is understandable considering a lot of the Fox properties are not family friendly and reluctantly let the 20th century Fox theme park in malaysia still happen. So I could actually see Disney renewing the license just with maybe 50% in merchandise sales. Also as a side note: Disney,I know you don’t plan to make attractions based on Fox, but now that you own the alien franchise,but could you bring back alien encounter with the a xenomorph? Not only would it be better but it would pay homge to the fact that alien encounter was originally meant to be based on Alien
Simpsons is the one screen ride that I like at studios. It's pretty much the same as BTTF just with the simpsons trademark humour. Love the Springfield theme around it, would be a shame to see it go. I personally don't think they will get rid of it since simpsons is the biggest TV series out there and they won't want disney using them, just like with marvel.
I know that I'm not giving this a fair shot because I've never seen the show, but I find the animation style of The Simpsons extremely off-putting. Its manifestation in the park has always seemed extremely tacky and I don't think that the ride is particularly good (especially following Back to the Future). I'm sure that the show itself is good, but it just doesn't really seem to fit into the park at all. That being said, before you mentioned it, I knew that just the merchandise and food sales were probably a tremendous boon for the park. Walking around, people are always holding Duff Beer and Simpsons merch, so it quite obviously sells well. Another issue I have is with their quick-service though. Beyond the facades, it's clearly just the repurposed building of the International Food and Film Festival and it's just... not great looking. Sure, you have Moe's Tavern but beyond that is a generic cafeteria. I know a lot of people love it, but I wouldn't be upset to see any of it go. That's a lot of land that could be used for a fantastic attraction or two, which that park really, desperately needs.
Yeah those are fair points, though I will say I think the tackiness of the Simpsons actually adds to its charm. With so many self-deprecating jokes and not so subtle knocks against Disney, it just makes for a really nice change of pace from other rides that attempt to completely immerse you in a world and take themselves so seriously. Not that I have anything against those lands, but I do think having something that isn’t that just helps the park be even more well-rounded.
You should try the show out - the first 8 seasons is some of the best comedy television in history. The Ride is based on the newer seasons, which pales in comparion and has a completely different style to the classics.
The property is much more valuable than the show itself. Simpsons merchandise continues to sell. The characters are basically walking memes, and as such, are repeatedly referenced on social media. And Springfield continues to be the second most crowded “land” at USF after Harry Potter. Do any of these people actually watch the show anymore? I don’t think it even matters.
Heres what I think they will do I think the Simpsons will be replaced with monsterverse with a Godzilla and Kong ride then we will finally have an exuse to remove that disater skull island reign of Kong I predict a dueling rollercoaster themed to Godzilla vrs kobg will be added maybe dueling new and improved rmc Raptors or dueling Rmc Trex I think that will replace the simpsons ride The que will be that you will enter and see both Godzilla and kings victims as you se the two beasts engage in an epic battle and that will finnaly give universal studios Florida another e ticket to balance the attendance at the two parks Zelda will replace the lost continent and the zelda flying boat ride will replace posidens fury and now the lost continent will no longer be just a walk through land to get from suess landing to harry potter it's a shame how this is how they treat the most cool non ip land I think spongebob will be coming as a retheme for toon laggon because let's face it nobody even knows Dudley do right besides a little bit of people and popeye although still known is an old cartoon spongebob will be the perfect retheme so we can keep the water rides and get a new land it's a win win. Guys DC will not be added to universal because number 1 dc is marvel competer and number 2 that deal with WB animations is long overdue Pokemon will come in as a replacement to kidszone over at universal studios Florida with the new pokemon snap safari ride the secret life of pets ride will also be replaceing shrek 4d in my opinion For the replacement of world expo I say a new harry potter minstry ot magic ride to replace fear factor live and as for men in black I think this ride will be an expansion to the new monsterverse land I think a jurrasic park dark ride will replaceskull island regin of Kong as there is no need for it now that we have the monsterverse land over at universal studios Florida Fast and furious supercharged will be demolished for a new fast and furious car ride simalar to test track and radiator springs racers and the whole san Francisco area will be rethemed for the fast and furious land as well as a dark ride will be added themed around touring the garage so we will have 2 rides and 1 being a thrill Hollywood rip ride rockit will be getting updated songs as well as citywalk getting an update I also prefect a harry potter and Jurrasic world hotels being added The cat in the hat ride will be replaced cause it's a former shell of its self and will be replaced by a grinch coaster. However I do se them doing a retheme of that suess trolley train ride to cat in the hat as well as a new lorax themed boat ride Hulk will be updated with a choosing system like Hollywood rio ride rocket except you can choose if you want to litsen to the original 1999 hulk audio or the new 2016 hulk audio That's all for now
MY PREDICTION: Disney will let them keep Simpsons and the marvel land for another 10-15 years (with the option to renegotiate) and Disney will get the license to open their own marvel land effective immediately. So there will be 2 marvel lands, but at least Universal doesn't have to scramble for a new land. (especially when they are having Covid money problems and will find it very difficult to open both Epic Universal and Re-theme the entire land.) Disney can easily do this.
Honestly I think I like all the jokes in the queue and preshow more than the ride itself. They really went out of their way to make waiting in line fun
I think Disney cares about the Simpsons and would be glad to include it in their parks. The family argument doesn’t hold up when a big part of Disney+ is The Simpsons
But to have the in the park when they already are having park money issues and still haven't recouped avengers campus money yet, I don't know if that will happen.
I would love if they got rid of simpsons and returned the back to the future ride and made it a hill valley land with the clock tower and a 50’s diner. This prob won’t happen. While yes the simpsons are showing their age they are still relevant and fit much better in universal over Disney. I think they could negotiate a trade of sorts where universal keeps simpsons and Disney still gets a percentage of the merch or something. Universal def needs to give up Marvel to Disney. The marvel section in universal besides the hulk and Spider-Man ride looks like a glorified six flags it’s kinda sad. It’s time to go and revamp that section with something new. I’d rather all Nintendo be in epic universe I’m not huge on the idea of Zelda in one park, Mario and donkey Kong in another just make a complete Nintendo land.
Fairly sure Disney needs to allow Universal to at least make a renovation and possibly additions to Marvel Comic Strip because if not Universal could make an uncooperative or anti-trust lawsuit. Also, Nintendo wise this is honestly most likely going to happen with Zelda and Pokémon in either Studios or IOA and Mario & Donkey Kong in Epic Universe. They did this with Harry Potter by bringing it also to Epic and it's most likely going to be extremely successful for them.
@@vuldren is it confirmed Harry Potter is going into epic? I know it’s a huge IP but personally, and I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I feel they have enough Harry Potter attractions and don’t need more in another park. That’d be like if both Hollywood studios and Magic kingdom had a Star Wars land it’s a little overkill. Especially when Universal only has so much real estate to work with use this opportunity to explore other IP’s or bring back ones that were beloved and removed. Let’s make a deal they can have more Harry Potter if they agree to bring back Jaws and Bttf. 🤝
@@joek1168 According to the concept art Universal release there is a Classic Monsters Land, How To Train your Dragon land, Super Mario World (And possibly Donkey King combined, and some type of Harry Potter land with a good amount of expansion room also.
@@vuldren interesting, I guess I’m most excited about Super Mario and classic monsters. Didn’t realize how to train your dragon was successful enough for a whole land, a ride I could see but a land seems excessive to me. Wonder if they will combine some other dreamworks properties. Maybe bring Shrek and minions over there and make universal studios feel more like a movie studios again that’d be cool, feel like it’s lost some of that charm. Back lot tour, make up shows, behind the scenes, live the movie that whole thing.
@@joek1168 I personally think that the entertainment industry has advanced so much to the point where making movies inside a box by renting it out or some sorts with strict hours (Due to park opening times) aren't the same anymore, I honestly think that Universal should ditch those production stages and use that land for the open public.
I wonder if they can make a deal that Universal can use the comic book incarnations of Marvel but free up the movie versions for Disney to use in their Florida parks.
Universal already has the rights to the comic versions of the characters in perpetuity, so long as they keep the attractions updated. Hence, the upgrades to Spider-Man and The Incredible Hulk. What Universal doesn't have is licensing rights to the movie versions of the Marvel Studios characters. That's why Disney is putting them in their parks at Epcot and California Adventure.
Personally the Simpsons ride wouldn’t really be replaced, sure Disney owns fox but when it comes to universal Disney wouldn’t really move the ride to their park for unknown reasons but yeah But I can see Simpsons staying but basically the people in this comment saying marvel is gonna be removed in the future. Well according to experts the marvel land in universal is the comic version but the one at Disney is basically the more modern MCU so it’s false that they would remove marvel land cause Disney doesn’t own the comic versions of Marvel but owns the Live action movies and modern tv shows but not the comics so again, marvel land would not get replace nor Simpsons cause Disney wouldn’t remove it from universal but for marvel is totally different compared to the ones Disney has.
The show is lackluster now, starting around Season 10-11 but it’s still iconic to this day so I think it’s always gonna be loved like Looney Tunes, Mickey, and other popular and long running cartoons. And I can’t really see Disney making their own Springfield so I think a deal could be made, just forcing it to shut down would be pointless and disappointing cuz that’s my favorite area in Universal FL, but I do think they should refurbish the ride a bit.
I personally don't think Disney doesn't care about the Simpsons, I think the opposite is happening actually, Disney may focus on family-friendly brands but they do invest in more adult-oriented brands sometimes, for example, they have an entire are in Hollywood studios themed to ABC which has more teen and adult shows than children's shows, along with that even Marvel is usually for a teen audience and so is Star Wars all tho that doesn't really matter since parents will take their kids to watch it anyway, even Disney themselves are releasing more teen-oriented things with their pg13 live-action remakes like Mulan and the upcoming Cruella. The main reason I think they do care about the Simpsons is because of Disney Plus, The Simpsons have been a giant part of their advertising for Disney plus and every time that you use the service at the top where they advertise the brand new shows they always have the Simpsons, this shows that they recognize the Simpsons as a profitable brand and they can gain a separate audience that doesn't like movies and shows targeted to a younger audience, the Simpsons is one of their most viewed properties in Disney+. Im guessing they could probably make a deal if the Simpsons show its profit so they would probably make it into a ride and maybe a restaurant to go along with it in Hollywood Studios.
it could be much better the CGI looked dated when it first opened. Instead of CGI they should of went, more cartoon animated like the show and movie. I personally believe it would have held up better.
@@jtstacey83 personally, I think it would’ve been better as a dark ride. I just don’t get any excitement or pleasure from staring at a screen and the cars barely make any movement. Feel like I’m just watching a glorified 4d movie
Honestly I think a perfect ride to replace the simpsons ride and would be somewhat nostalgic could be a Ready Player One ride. And base it off the race at the start of the movie. The ride vehicle could be a DeLorean again.
Don’t agree with your opinion on The Simpsons not being family friendly enough for Disney World tbh. Most episodes are rated PG and while it was controversial when it first came out, most families let their kids watch it nowadays. I was allowed to watch The Simpsons as a kid but not Family Guy, which is much raunchier. Plus Guardians of the Galaxy is PG-13, a much higher rating than PG, and it has a ride at Disney.
@@AttractionIdeas hell they could take the kids zone with it and go all out on something like Lord of the Rings, but that would fit more with Islands of Adventure
Or, 💡 if the Disney parks were not comfortable of using non-family friendly characters Disney has now owned from Fox, Disney can sell out 50/50 of their theme park rights to Universal of Fox's more adult oriented shows, even for the Universal Studios Theme Parks to still keep theme park rights to The Simpsons from the expiring date & for the fans of the world of Springfield, the other shows that can appropriately be at the Universal Parks instead of Disney's will be, Family Guy, American Dad, King Of The Hills & Futurama, & for to replace the Marvel Superhero Island.
I find it revolting to have nintendo attractions in a movie park. I like games, not a fan of Nintendo ones, but either way I dont want games present in a theme park. Epic Universe is another statement, but the original two don't need games. But if they replaced the SImpsons, I could only see Batman replacing it.
maybe sonic the hedgehog video games series sonic adventure sonic adventure battle sonic heroes shadow the hedgehog sonic the hedgehog 06 sonic and the sercet ring sonic unleashed sonic and the black knight sonic colors sonic generations and sonic forces replace the simpsons rumored
If I were Universal then I would just give up simpsons if it was on the risk of loosing marvel. Look Simpsons are a show that has fell from grace and I'm not sure if the show will even be that well known in 2028 or beyond. Marvel has been proven to be popular for a long time as long as Disney keeps making movies and Disney + series for the IP. Also Disney making more Marvel stuff is just helping Marvel be more popular and its helping Universal because they have the Marvel land so it will help Universal get more merch sales. Look what happened with the 2012 Adventures movie like that's what gave Universal inspiration to redo the Hulk.
If Disney brought Simpsons over to WDW, they'd be up against how well Universal did it. They'd have to just can it altogether. If they leave it at Universal, they get some income from a property that's close to its shelf life expiration. If they take Simpsons, or even if they don't, Universal would be smart to buy Warner Brothers, at least the animation part, and bring Bugs Bunny, etc. to the parks.
Season 10 actually but yea season 6 is kind of when it was kind of going down but season 10 is when it became noticeable. Tbh I still watch the new stuff even though it’s kinda crappy. It’s just nice to see the characters.
l want to bring back back to the future the ride of 1991 to universal studios hollywood and universal orlando resort please universal be sure to bring back back to the future the ride is the best ride in the world the simpsons has to be disappear and brought back back to the future the ride
Just give us an anime themed land. They already have one in Japan and anime has become insanely popular here. If not that than something like a Nickelodeon return or an expansion to the upcoming Nintendo land that uses other franchises like Zelda, Pokemon, or even F-Zero would be cool (hell they could even do what Smash does and start adding older characters like Banjo, Megaman, or Metal Gear if they could work out a deal)
Honestly even though this idea would most likely never happen I think it would be a good idea for universal to re-theme Springfield into A Hill Valley with a new back to the future the ride that wouldn’t seem outdated. The only way this idea could never work out is if Christopher Lloyd passes away which is something I don’t want to think abt atm but yea I honestly think it’s a killer idea.
Disney can just let the Simpsons contract run it’s course. Don’t allow them to renew. Decades later, Disney opens its own Simpsons land. Universal won’t give up Superheroes characters. The Spiderman ride is a major draw and Disney will steal guests away with their own Spiderman ride. A trade makes no sense. Disney will make them pay.
My answer? I certainly hope not anytime soon!!(the Krusty thumbnail pic is so sad) With access to Disney+ I've become more acquainted with the best years of the show and it's helped me get through the pandemic. I visited in 2016 and was able to ride Kang and Kodos but not The Simpsons Ride(and at that point I'd never seen a single episode of the show). I'd love to go back and fully explore Springfield-ride the attractions, play the carnival games, eat the food, and meet Krusty(darn pandemic! When will character meet and greets return from the war??) I know no theme park rides last forever, especially in Universal's case, but I really hope Springfield/Krustyland stays for now.
My question is about Dr.Seus Island after...well..the whole thing with Dr.Seus. Likely would be a very bad image on the park if one big island in Islands of Adventure, with multiple attractions/buildings/areas within the island being themed after racist books. Also, I saw you hearted my comment in the Marvel video, thoughts on my ideas and suggestions mentioned there?
Universal stated they would be removing any references to the racist books in question. I think it will mostly be a wait and see as far as the rest of the land leaving. Depending on the longevity of this controversy it could stay as if nothing happened, or be replaced in a few years. Time will tell.
I think Dragon Ball would be great for Japan, not sure that its the best for Orlando. Futurama right now probably isn't big enough to be a super viable property and although the Seth McFarlane shows could work, they may be a bit too vulgar for Universal. I could see Universal using any of these even though I have my qualms with them. Some other properties to consider would be Alien/Predator and Planet of the Apes.
@@AttractionIdeas well, Alien has had rides in Disney parks in the past so I don't think Disney would give that up and because of how the Predator property crosses over with Alien I think that's included. And considering Disney is greenlighting and working on a new Planet of the Apes movie that does mean they are personally interested in the property. My rationale on a "Universal's Manga Island" is that Universal already has shown they are willing to work with Japanese companies like Nintendo, and Anime is growing in popularity again in massive amounts in the U.S with Dragon Ball's resurgence, My Hero Academia's record breaking box office results with Heroes Rising, and also Demon Slayer's Success. There is a audience for Anime.etc and the advertising goes both ways. People will go to the park to see the rides and worlds of those properties brought to life, and people who are in the park for other reasons will likely walk across and get intrigued by those properties as well. And catalog of properties that Shueisha owns is massive and has more than enough opportunities for attractions Flying on Goku's flying Nimbus in a roller coaster, riding a mech, experiencing the mind bending quirks of the MHA universe being used to make a scenario to replace Spiderman's ride. The potential is incredibly high
We were just there, and honestly, it needs some TLC. The area is fun to walk around in but has seen some better days. I feel this is an issue all over Universal everything just has this run-down kind of feeling to it. I would say 90% of Universal needs updating or at least a fresh code of paint. Nothing worse than going on a ride, and none of the animatronics are working, and the graphics are 20 years old and extremely dated. What's even worse is the new rides just suck looking at you Fast and the Furious, and can we get something better than Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon? I just don't care for the ride at all. Comcast, in my opinion, has done a terrible job upkeeping and modernizing the parks. I think Universal should pick up the DC rights and sell off the Marvel rights back to Disney. I bet Disney would pay a hefty sum and trade some IP theme park rights for Marvel. I personally think it would be cool to walk through Gotham City with a Joker, Batman, Superman, and Wonderwoman themed rides.
The only land I’d ever accept to replace the Simpsons is Spongebob Land. Easy to retheme, change the Twirl n Hurl to a Jellyfish ride, throw away Woody Woodpecker and expand farther back to create a boat ride Tunnel of Glove, then a indoor rollercoaster themed to fit the first Spongebob Movie (with a drop into Rock Bottom).

@@Katie-xd1nt That’s likely it.

@@Clay3613 If it is popular they will make it, there are rumours of them looking at ips like Ice Age, Alien and The Simpsons as possibilities for the parks. They did Avatar which is a much less popular IP.
There seems to be a constant appreciation for the "90s" and universal even sells retro apparel. Make the back of the park a true "backlot" and bring back the old rides in a new way. "See the stars again. Ride the movies one more time"
You know for a long time I was a firm believer that Universal would never bring back their old rides. But after seeing Kong come back (albeit under much different circumstances) and Universal starting to sell merch based on old rides, I really can’t put it out of the realm of possibility for them to bring some of these rides back.

It’s like NBC/Universal has the rights to Nickelodeon properties and aren’t utilizing them to their full potential like I understand Jimmy Neutron is of more of an oldie but Spongebob is still going strong to this day, it’s Nickelodeon’s baby and Universal could really capitalize off of that in a land/ attraction form. It would do so well for the park and I mean with the longevity of Spongebob, it could become a mainstay at the parks and could allow us to experience Bikini Bottom in a way we never thought we could.
I think they lost the rights to Viacom
@Jonathan Pal No, they still have a store in Kidzone
@Jonathan Pal The closure of Nickelodeon Studios was Viacom's own decision to scale back the (mostly) live-action productions taking place there.
There's nothing that indicates a direct rift between Universal and Viacom; as far as we know, it was a mutual decision between both parties.
a separate contract for the characters would need to be created, they don't "have the rights"
@Jonathan Pal Thank you for the insight, genuinely. I... tend to speak a tad out of my ass when it comes to anything with Nickelodeon, since I didn't grow up watching much of the channel or consuming any of its related media.
That said, your stance only seems to enforce the idea that Nick's "Orlando leave" was a mutual benefactor for both parties. Nick didn't have a need for two simultaneous studios, and the rent required for upkeep within an active theme park was likely catching up to Viacom.
I'd hardly consider what went down between Universal and Viacom a violent break-up.
Besides, the Nick brand still has a slight presence at the Florida Universal parks; Nicktoon Blast, adjacent to the former Nickelodeon Studios, operated for a further 6 years after active show production ended, there's the incorporation of SpongeBob/Dora characters within the Superstar Parade (although this may be subject to change because of COVID,) and of course SpongeBob StorePants.
TL;DR, I don't buy into the mindset that Universal and Viacom are on bad terms, they're friendly enough for being media giants.
One additional info that wasn’t mentioned here:
The Simpsons is no longer that popular in the US, but it’s still immensely popular in other areas of the world (like Latin America). In countries like Argentina, they’ve become an integral part of the culture, and most people in their 30s and younger will know the dialogues and every episode by heart.
Orlando receives mostly international tourists (Brazil and Argentina being two of the major tourist exporters), not just Americans. It’s worth mentioning that these international tourists (which represent millions of dollars) will keep flocking to the Simpsons area.
But they are still iconic
The only worth while parts of the universal parks is Harry Potter and the Simpsons. If universal does keep the themed area, I would hope that they expand. Cause the Springfield area is lack lustre.
I would much rather have Disney do a Springfield area cause I know they will do it justice.
@@iParaShane i strongly disagree
I think you're underestimating how much Disney values the Simpsons. They've stuck to producing more seasons and have gotten new voice actors to replace some of the established ones due to the POC characters controversy, but this also shows that Disney is willing to update the show. And more importantly, I argue that the Simpsons is Disney+'s secret weapon. The Simpsons is almost always in the top 5 highest trending shows on D+, and much like how the Office and Friends were mega hits on Netflix, the Simpsons provides an easily bingeable, long running established sitcom that's become a mainstay on the service.
I can totally see the Simpsons and Marvel theme right beings traded off in exchange for universal getting the film rights to things Disney really does not want (Aliens, Predator, Planet of the Apes).

Disney does care about Simpsons to some degree. The show and movie were a huge part of the marketing for Disney+. But I don’t know if they care about it so much to the point that they’d want it back from Universal. I honestly think that Disney will let them keep Simpsons and throw in a few extras in exchange for Marvel, as Disney definitely cares more about Marvel than they care about Simpsons. Disney definitely doesn’t care much about Family Guy as it’s not very family friendly and not on Disney+, so maybe they let them turn Marvel into Quahog and throw in a few more IPs they don’t care about? Idk honestly.

I think Universal picking up DC rights would be awesome Imagine walking through Gotham City and the themed rides you could make. You could retheme the Hulk into a Green Latern ride.
I hope they won’t I love Springfield and the Simpsons! They belong at Universal Studios. I hope Universal will make a deal with Disney to get the full rights. Plus we could see more Simpsons at the parks!
I kind of want to see what Imagineers could do with the property, but I don't see the things that make Springfield in Universal so cool carrying over to a Disney park. I think it's a better fit for Universal.
one of the main reasons I go to universal is for the Simpsons ride, an OG
Disney was happy to have the simpsons on Disney+, so while I don’t think they’re rushing to get them to shut simpsons down the way they are marvel, I don’t think they’re going to sell universal the rights. they want the streaming rights to themselves.
@@awefawn7793streaming and land are two different things though
If Universal loses the Simpsons, I would love to see a return of Back to the Future
I doubt it. The only reason that they would do this would be if they were planning on rebooting the movies, or making sequels. And from what I've read, they want to keep the nostalgia of the originals and never do any reboots, sequels, or remakes.

Duff isn't a Bluff. It ain't going anywhere.
I read in a book on the history of Universal Orlando. In the book, it was said that Universal and Disney do support each other when it comes to giving Orlando the name in offering the best theme entertainment in the world, albeit the parks are still one-upping the other in fair competition. The most value that The Simpsons are seen in Disney's wallet is the land at Universal and streaming; with that said, I can only see Disney allowing Universal to keep Simpsons for the royalties or open negotiations in keeping the licensing fees fair for Simpsons so that Disney can build an Avengers Campus, but allow Universal to keep Marvel Island as well. My dream replacement for The Simpsons is a Universal "ride the movies" Classics land. They can bring back BTTF, remove MIB and Fear Factor to create a backlot vibing land with Jaws, Earthquake, Beetlejuice, Kong (NYC), BTTF, Ghostbusters, Twister, Nickelodeon, Terminator; basically a fucking museum for a 90s era Universal. I mean, E.T. isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so Universal may as well blend it back to its early days.

But they make sure to make an MCU land thats better than universals marvel land so this way here if guests want the "definitive" Marvel experience they have to go to Disney for it.
That could work, but I feel like from Universal's perspective if Disney can make their own Marvel land, it would significantly decrease the value of Marvel at Universal since it would lose most of its exclusivity. Thus Universal would still most likely get rid of the land if a deal like this was to be cut.

the projectors are misaligned and I literally know how to fix it and its soooooo frustrating cuz it's the easiest fix in the world and would make all the difference
New The Secret Life Of Pets: Off The Leash Coming To Celebrating Universal Orlando Resort 30th Anniversary
I think Disney will let universal keep the Simpsons, if I remember Bob Chapeck back when he was the head of theme park division said something of the line of “We do not plan to integrate any characters from the Fox library into are theme parks out side of maybe a meet and greet” witch is understandable considering a lot of the Fox properties are not family friendly and reluctantly let the 20th century Fox theme park in malaysia still happen. So I could actually see Disney renewing the license just with maybe 50% in merchandise sales.
Also as a side note: Disney,I know you don’t plan to make attractions based on Fox, but now that you own the alien franchise,but could you bring back alien encounter with the a xenomorph? Not only would it be better but it would pay homge to the fact that alien encounter was originally meant to be based on Alien
Simpsons is the one screen ride that I like at studios. It's pretty much the same as BTTF just with the simpsons trademark humour. Love the Springfield theme around it, would be a shame to see it go. I personally don't think they will get rid of it since simpsons is the biggest TV series out there and they won't want disney using them, just like with marvel.
The Simpsons ride is so funny. The “soiled your pants for the last time” and the “all rides must end at the gift shop” jokes get me every time.
What about replacing it with Back to the Future 👀
The BTTF brand isn't as strong as it used to be, realistically if they have to replace the simpsons they may go with something new ip
I know that I'm not giving this a fair shot because I've never seen the show, but I find the animation style of The Simpsons extremely off-putting. Its manifestation in the park has always seemed extremely tacky and I don't think that the ride is particularly good (especially following Back to the Future). I'm sure that the show itself is good, but it just doesn't really seem to fit into the park at all.
That being said, before you mentioned it, I knew that just the merchandise and food sales were probably a tremendous boon for the park. Walking around, people are always holding Duff Beer and Simpsons merch, so it quite obviously sells well. Another issue I have is with their quick-service though. Beyond the facades, it's clearly just the repurposed building of the International Food and Film Festival and it's just... not great looking. Sure, you have Moe's Tavern but beyond that is a generic cafeteria.
I know a lot of people love it, but I wouldn't be upset to see any of it go. That's a lot of land that could be used for a fantastic attraction or two, which that park really, desperately needs.
Yeah those are fair points, though I will say I think the tackiness of the Simpsons actually adds to its charm. With so many self-deprecating jokes and not so subtle knocks against Disney, it just makes for a really nice change of pace from other rides that attempt to completely immerse you in a world and take themselves so seriously. Not that I have anything against those lands, but I do think having something that isn’t that just helps the park be even more well-rounded.
You should try the show out - the first 8 seasons is some of the best comedy television in history. The Ride is based on the newer seasons, which pales in comparion and has a completely different style to the classics.
The property is much more valuable than the show itself. Simpsons merchandise continues to sell. The characters are basically walking memes, and as such, are repeatedly referenced on social media. And Springfield continues to be the second most crowded “land” at USF after Harry Potter. Do any of these people actually watch the show anymore? I don’t think it even matters.
The land looks...dead outside of branding.
Heres what I think they will do
I think the Simpsons will be replaced with monsterverse with a Godzilla and Kong ride then we will finally have an exuse to remove that disater skull island reign of Kong I predict a dueling rollercoaster themed to Godzilla vrs kobg will be added maybe dueling new and improved rmc Raptors or dueling Rmc Trex I think that will replace the simpsons ride The que will be that you will enter and see both Godzilla and kings victims as you se the two beasts engage in an epic battle and that will finnaly give universal studios Florida another e ticket to balance the attendance at the two parks
Zelda will replace the lost continent and the zelda flying boat ride will replace posidens fury and now the lost continent will no longer be just a walk through land to get from suess landing to harry potter it's a shame how this is how they treat the most cool non ip land
I think spongebob will be coming as a retheme for toon laggon because let's face it nobody even knows Dudley do right besides a little bit of people and popeye although still known is an old cartoon spongebob will be the perfect retheme so we can keep the water rides and get a new land it's a win win.
Guys DC will not be added to universal because number 1 dc is marvel competer and number 2 that deal with WB animations is long overdue
Pokemon will come in as a replacement to kidszone over at universal studios Florida with the new pokemon snap safari ride the secret life of pets ride will also be replaceing shrek 4d in my opinion
For the replacement of world expo I say a new harry potter minstry ot magic ride to replace fear factor live and as for men in black I think this ride will be an expansion to the new monsterverse land
I think a jurrasic park dark ride will replaceskull island regin of Kong as there is no need for it now that we have the monsterverse land over at universal studios Florida
Fast and furious supercharged will be demolished for a new fast and furious car ride simalar to test track and radiator springs racers and the whole san Francisco area will be rethemed for the fast and furious land as well as a dark ride will be added themed around touring the garage so we will have 2 rides and 1 being a thrill
Hollywood rip ride rockit will be getting updated songs as well as citywalk getting an update
I also prefect a harry potter and Jurrasic world hotels being added
The cat in the hat ride will be replaced cause it's a former shell of its self and will be replaced by a grinch coaster.
However I do se them doing a retheme of that suess trolley train ride to cat in the hat as well as a new lorax themed boat ride
Hulk will be updated with a choosing system like Hollywood rio ride rocket except you can choose if you want to litsen to the original 1999 hulk audio or the new 2016 hulk audio
That's all for now
This is really random, but I think a How to Train Your Dragon would be awesome at universal!
Signs are pointing to a How to Train Your Dragon land in Universal’s new Orlando park so you’re wish may come true!
That’s awesome!!
Duudee that would be so COOL
@@AttractionIdeas Kung Fu Panda The Emperor's Quest Orlando
That’s going to be at Universals Epic Universe. Its one of the lands they are adding to that park
MY PREDICTION:
Disney will let them keep Simpsons and the marvel land for another 10-15 years (with the option to renegotiate) and Disney will get the license to open their own marvel land effective immediately. So there will be 2 marvel lands, but at least Universal doesn't have to scramble for a new land. (especially when they are having Covid money problems and will find it very difficult to open both Epic Universal and Re-theme the entire land.) Disney can easily do this.
Marvel and the MCU in Marvel Studios are separate.
One is from comics and one is from the films. It’s just only about the characters & if Disney is willing to share them (which u know they won’t).
I love the Simpsons ride
Honestly I think I like all the jokes in the queue and preshow more than the ride itself. They really went out of their way to make waiting in line fun
Simpsons in Hollywood studios. Springfield is so fleshed out and could be so immersive which is the direction Hollywood studios is going.
I think Disney cares about the Simpsons and would be glad to include it in their parks. The family argument doesn’t hold up when a big part of Disney+ is The Simpsons
At this point considering where other animated sitcoms go The Simpsons are a family show.
But to have the in the park when they already are having park money issues and still haven't recouped avengers campus money yet, I don't know if that will happen.
@@jesusfreaklol1 of course they can do it later down the line but they can start small like character meet and greets and merch
Is there anything to stop Disney from renewing and then immediately cancelling the show screwing over Universal with a dated land?
Love your videos! I was just watching some other theme park videos and got the notification!
I think Disney doesn’t care about park synergy anymore and would gladly take the simpsons for ip recognition.
I agree, marvel is very telling of this
I would love if they got rid of simpsons and returned the back to the future ride and made it a hill valley land with the clock tower and a 50’s diner. This prob won’t happen. While yes the simpsons are showing their age they are still relevant and fit much better in universal over Disney. I think they could negotiate a trade of sorts where universal keeps simpsons and Disney still gets a percentage of the merch or something. Universal def needs to give up Marvel to Disney. The marvel section in universal besides the hulk and Spider-Man ride looks like a glorified six flags it’s kinda sad. It’s time to go and revamp that section with something new. I’d rather all Nintendo be in epic universe I’m not huge on the idea of Zelda in one park, Mario and donkey Kong in another just make a complete Nintendo land.
Fairly sure Disney needs to allow Universal to at least make a renovation and possibly additions to Marvel Comic Strip because if not Universal could make an uncooperative or anti-trust lawsuit. Also, Nintendo wise this is honestly most likely going to happen with Zelda and Pokémon in either Studios or IOA and Mario & Donkey Kong in Epic Universe. They did this with Harry Potter by bringing it also to Epic and it's most likely going to be extremely successful for them.
@@vuldren is it confirmed Harry Potter is going into epic? I know it’s a huge IP but personally, and I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I feel they have enough Harry Potter attractions and don’t need more in another park. That’d be like if both Hollywood studios and Magic kingdom had a Star Wars land it’s a little overkill. Especially when Universal only has so much real estate to work with use this opportunity to explore other IP’s or bring back ones that were beloved and removed. Let’s make a deal they can have more Harry Potter if they agree to bring back Jaws and Bttf. 🤝
@@joek1168 According to the concept art Universal release there is a Classic Monsters Land, How To Train your Dragon land, Super Mario World (And possibly Donkey King combined, and some type of Harry Potter land with a good amount of expansion room also.
@@vuldren interesting, I guess I’m most excited about Super Mario and classic monsters. Didn’t realize how to train your dragon was successful enough for a whole land, a ride I could see but a land seems excessive to me. Wonder if they will combine some other dreamworks properties. Maybe bring Shrek and minions over there and make universal studios feel more like a movie studios again that’d be cool, feel like it’s lost some of that charm. Back lot tour, make up shows, behind the scenes, live the movie that whole thing.
@@joek1168 I personally think that the entertainment industry has advanced so much to the point where making movies inside a box by renting it out or some sorts with strict hours (Due to park opening times) aren't the same anymore, I honestly think that Universal should ditch those production stages and use that land for the open public.
Bruh these videos are so good keep up the good work😂
I wonder if they can make a deal that Universal can use the comic book incarnations of Marvel but free up the movie versions for Disney to use in their Florida parks.
Universal already has the rights to the comic versions of the characters in perpetuity, so long as they keep the attractions updated. Hence, the upgrades to Spider-Man and The Incredible Hulk. What Universal doesn't have is licensing rights to the movie versions of the Marvel Studios characters. That's why Disney is putting them in their parks at Epcot and California Adventure.
Steal the beastly kingdom conception from Disney and theme the Fantastic Beasts.
That ride makes me sick. It wouldn't bother me to see a new immersive land.
Personally the Simpsons ride wouldn’t really be replaced, sure Disney owns fox but when it comes to universal Disney wouldn’t really move the ride to their park for unknown reasons but yeah But I can see Simpsons staying but basically the people in this comment saying marvel is gonna be removed in the future. Well according to experts the marvel land in universal is the comic version but the one at Disney is basically the more modern MCU so it’s false that they would remove marvel land cause Disney doesn’t own the comic versions of Marvel but owns the Live action movies and modern tv shows but not the comics so again, marvel land would not get replace nor Simpsons cause Disney wouldn’t remove it from universal but for marvel is totally different compared to the ones Disney has.
The show is lackluster now, starting around Season 10-11 but it’s still iconic to this day so I think it’s always gonna be loved like Looney Tunes, Mickey, and other popular and long running cartoons. And I can’t really see Disney making their own Springfield so I think a deal could be made, just forcing it to shut down would be pointless and disappointing cuz that’s my favorite area in Universal FL, but I do think they should refurbish the ride a bit.
Personaly i think season 9 is when it started to go downhill with several ep just being ok
@@curtailedbike4123 Yeah, but a lot of memorable stuff too so I somewhat give it a pass, even 10 has a couple decent ones.
It needs to be cancelled!
I personally don't think Disney doesn't care about the Simpsons, I think the opposite is happening actually, Disney may focus on family-friendly brands but they do invest in more adult-oriented brands sometimes, for example, they have an entire are in Hollywood studios themed to ABC which has more teen and adult shows than children's shows, along with that even Marvel is usually for a teen audience and so is Star Wars all tho that doesn't really matter since parents will take their kids to watch it anyway, even Disney themselves are releasing more teen-oriented things with their pg13 live-action remakes like Mulan and the upcoming Cruella. The main reason I think they do care about the Simpsons is because of Disney Plus, The Simpsons have been a giant part of their advertising for Disney plus and every time that you use the service at the top where they advertise the brand new shows they always have the Simpsons, this shows that they recognize the Simpsons as a profitable brand and they can gain a separate audience that doesn't like movies and shows targeted to a younger audience, the Simpsons is one of their most viewed properties in Disney+. Im guessing they could probably make a deal if the Simpsons show its profit so they would probably make it into a ride and maybe a restaurant to go along with it in Hollywood Studios.
Springfield is a nice little area but the Simpson’s ride is god awful
it could be much better the CGI looked dated when it first opened. Instead of CGI they should of went, more cartoon animated like the show and movie. I personally believe it would have held up better.
@@jtstacey83 personally, I think it would’ve been better as a dark ride. I just don’t get any excitement or pleasure from staring at a screen and the cars barely make any movement. Feel like I’m just watching a glorified 4d movie
If Simpsons leaves, Disney will probably take Kang and Kodos Twirl and Hurl with them and put it in Hollywood Studios.
Honestly I think a perfect ride to replace the simpsons ride and would be somewhat nostalgic could be a Ready Player One ride. And base it off the race at the start of the movie. The ride vehicle could be a DeLorean again.
Or sonic the hedgehog video games series based on video games
I love this idea but the question is does rp1 have a big enough following for it?
Don’t agree with your opinion on The Simpsons not being family friendly enough for Disney World tbh. Most episodes are rated PG and while it was controversial when it first came out, most families let their kids watch it nowadays. I was allowed to watch The Simpsons as a kid but not Family Guy, which is much raunchier.
Plus Guardians of the Galaxy is PG-13, a much higher rating than PG, and it has a ride at Disney.
They could take out the simpsons and MIB + FearFactor and do something big but I don't think that will happen
That would make for a crazy big land and I’m totally down for it
@@AttractionIdeas hell they could take the kids zone with it and go all out on something like Lord of the Rings, but that would fit more with Islands of Adventure
NOT MIB!!!! I LOVE THAT RIDE!
Or, 💡 if the Disney parks were not comfortable of using non-family friendly characters Disney has now owned from Fox, Disney can sell out 50/50 of their theme park rights to Universal of Fox's more adult oriented shows, even for the Universal Studios Theme Parks to still keep theme park rights to The Simpsons from the expiring date & for the fans of the world of Springfield, the other shows that can appropriately be at the Universal Parks instead of Disney's will be, Family Guy, American Dad, King Of The Hills & Futurama, & for to replace the Marvel Superhero Island.
I find it revolting to have nintendo attractions in a movie park. I like games, not a fan of Nintendo ones, but either way I dont want games present in a theme park. Epic Universe is another statement, but the original two don't need games.
But if they replaced the SImpsons, I could only see Batman replacing it.
maybe sonic the hedgehog video games series sonic adventure sonic adventure battle sonic heroes shadow the hedgehog sonic the hedgehog 06 sonic and the sercet ring sonic unleashed sonic and the black knight sonic colors sonic generations and sonic forces replace the simpsons rumored
@@brennacollins6000 I hope not, Springfield makes sense where it is.
If I were Universal then I would just give up simpsons if it was on the risk of loosing marvel. Look Simpsons are a show that has fell from grace and I'm not sure if the show will even be that well known in 2028 or beyond. Marvel has been proven to be popular for a long time as long as Disney keeps making movies and Disney + series for the IP. Also Disney making more Marvel stuff is just helping Marvel be more popular and its helping Universal because they have the Marvel land so it will help Universal get more merch sales. Look what happened with the 2012 Adventures movie like that's what gave Universal inspiration to redo the Hulk.
the simpsons ride could easily be redone into a rick and morty ride.
Or alternatively, an Earthbound Ride.
If Disney brought Simpsons over to WDW, they'd be up against how well Universal did it. They'd have to just can it altogether. If they leave it at Universal, they get some income from a property that's close to its shelf life expiration. If they take Simpsons, or even if they don't, Universal would be smart to buy Warner Brothers, at least the animation part, and bring Bugs Bunny, etc. to the parks.
Season 10 actually but yea season 6 is kind of when it was kind of going down but season 10 is when it became noticeable. Tbh I still watch the new stuff even though it’s kinda crappy. It’s just nice to see the characters.
If they want to get rid of simpsons they should bring back back to the future I don’t care if it’s dated.
sonic the hedeghog video games series take over the simpsons
I love the hamilton reference
l want to bring back back to the future the ride of 1991 to universal studios hollywood and universal orlando resort please universal be sure to bring back back to the future the ride is the best ride in the world the simpsons has to be disappear and brought back back to the future the ride
I think I’d miss the queue and the pre-show more than TSR as a whole
I would love to see a Nintendo land or even Anime land like how Universal Japan does but who knows what will truly happen.
I know I am late anime island would be cool
Bring back Back to the Future and I’ll be happy with whatever Universal does.
No
Sonic the hedgehog video games series replace simpsons been rumored
Just give us an anime themed land. They already have one in Japan and anime has become insanely popular here.
If not that than something like a Nickelodeon return or an expansion to the upcoming Nintendo land that uses other franchises like Zelda, Pokemon, or even F-Zero would be cool (hell they could even do what Smash does and start adding older characters like Banjo, Megaman, or Metal Gear if they could work out a deal)
Honestly even though this idea would most likely never happen I think it would be a good idea for universal to re-theme Springfield into A Hill Valley with a new back to the future the ride that wouldn’t seem outdated. The only way this idea could never work out is if Christopher Lloyd passes away which is something I don’t want to think abt atm but yea I honestly think it’s a killer idea.
Disney can just let the Simpsons contract run it’s course. Don’t allow them to renew. Decades later, Disney opens its own Simpsons land.
Universal won’t give up Superheroes characters. The Spiderman ride is a major draw and Disney will steal guests away with their own Spiderman ride.
A trade makes no sense. Disney will make them pay.
My answer? I certainly hope not anytime soon!!(the Krusty thumbnail pic is so sad) With access to Disney+ I've become more acquainted with the best years of the show and it's helped me get through the pandemic. I visited in 2016 and was able to ride Kang and Kodos but not The Simpsons Ride(and at that point I'd never seen a single episode of the show). I'd love to go back and fully explore Springfield-ride the attractions, play the carnival games, eat the food, and meet Krusty(darn pandemic! When will character meet and greets return from the war??) I know no theme park rides last forever, especially in Universal's case, but I really hope Springfield/Krustyland stays for now.
Considering how much The Simpsons STILL makes on merch and syndication around the world for FOX, phasing it out would be a really dumb decision.
My question is about Dr.Seus Island after...well..the whole thing with Dr.Seus.
Likely would be a very bad image on the park if one big island in Islands of Adventure, with multiple attractions/buildings/areas within the island being themed after racist books.
Also, I saw you hearted my comment in the Marvel video, thoughts on my ideas and suggestions mentioned there?
Universal stated they would be removing any references to the racist books in question. I think it will mostly be a wait and see as far as the rest of the land leaving. Depending on the longevity of this controversy it could stay as if nothing happened, or be replaced in a few years. Time will tell.
@@AttractionIdeas Thoughts on my ideas in the Marvel video comment?
I think Dragon Ball would be great for Japan, not sure that its the best for Orlando. Futurama right now probably isn't big enough to be a super viable property and although the Seth McFarlane shows could work, they may be a bit too vulgar for Universal. I could see Universal using any of these even though I have my qualms with them. Some other properties to consider would be Alien/Predator and Planet of the Apes.
@@AttractionIdeas replace by sonic the hedgehog videogames series
@@AttractionIdeas well, Alien has had rides in Disney parks in the past so I don't think Disney would give that up and because of how the Predator property crosses over with Alien I think that's included.
And considering Disney is greenlighting and working on a new Planet of the Apes movie that does mean they are personally interested in the property.
My rationale on a "Universal's Manga Island" is that Universal already has shown they are willing to work with Japanese companies like Nintendo, and Anime is growing in popularity again in massive amounts in the U.S with Dragon Ball's resurgence, My Hero Academia's record breaking box office results with Heroes Rising, and also Demon Slayer's Success.
There is a audience for Anime.etc and the advertising goes both ways.
People will go to the park to see the rides and worlds of those properties brought to life, and people who are in the park for other reasons will likely walk across and get intrigued by those properties as well.
And catalog of properties that Shueisha owns is massive and has more than enough opportunities for attractions
Flying on Goku's flying Nimbus in a roller coaster, riding a mech, experiencing the mind bending quirks of the MHA universe being used to make a scenario to replace Spiderman's ride.
The potential is incredibly high
We were just there, and honestly, it needs some TLC. The area is fun to walk around in but has seen some better days. I feel this is an issue all over Universal everything just has this run-down kind of feeling to it. I would say 90% of Universal needs updating or at least a fresh code of paint. Nothing worse than going on a ride, and none of the animatronics are working, and the graphics are 20 years old and extremely dated. What's even worse is the new rides just suck looking at you Fast and the Furious, and can we get something better than Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon? I just don't care for the ride at all. Comcast, in my opinion, has done a terrible job upkeeping and modernizing the parks. I think Universal should pick up the DC rights and sell off the Marvel rights back to Disney. I bet Disney would pay a hefty sum and trade some IP theme park rights for Marvel. I personally think it would be cool to walk through Gotham City with a Joker, Batman, Superman, and Wonderwoman themed rides.
