If they're going to attempt The Walking Dead Attraction in Orlando (and I'm not convinced they should or will), the experience needs to be far more substantial than the Hollywood version. Hollywood only has six scenes (that number alone is generous) with an average of 12 performers on-set, day-to-day. It feels bare, short, and uninteresting, and doesn't score well with the public.
The Orlando version would need to be double the length with twice the actors, minimum. For a resort that's moving away from unnecessary entertainment labor in attractions (Kong's ONE actor notwithstanding), this doesn't feel especially likely.
I imagine Terminator only has a couple years left, but I doubt TWD takes up the mantle. I'd be way more into it if they could position it in an unoptimized space, but the Studios has been pretty filled to the brim of-late. Naazerman's might've worked if Starbucks/Ben & Jerry's hadn't moved in... could've gone in Soundstage 44 had Transformers not happened... you could maybe shoehorn something small & pretty unimpressive into Cafe La Bamba's space, if food&bev were willing to sacrifice the seldom opened spot. But... at that point... why bother?
