I have a feeling the Simpsons will probably the next ride in the chopping block to be replaced for a new project.

Pls no touchy Simpsons. Go touchy Mummy instead.I have a feeling the Simpsons will probably the next ride in the chopping block to be replaced for a new project.
Put yourself in Universal's shoes for a second. What would be a better ride to replace? An aging simulator whose original components have been there for 30 years, is breaking down a lot, and whose structure is not extremely stable...Pls no touchy Simpsons. Go touchy Mummy instead.
Because I like Simpsons.Why???
…how about a MMRR-style Simpsons dark ride? If you look at the original floor plans for SlOP back when it was going to be a trackless dark ride, you can basically cut-n-paste those plans on that plot and just retheme it to Simpsons.Because I like Simpsons.
Also, due to the location, I really have no idea what they would replace it with. Tearing down Simpsons/Back to the Future and replacing it with like a stunt show (someone brought this up prior) would be a huge downgrade in me eyes when Water World is already in the park.
Like, yeah Simpsons is probably leaving sooner than later, but I reallly don't want it to, haha. I get a bigger kick out of Simpsons than I do Mummy believe it or not.
I honestly rather keep Simpsons. Bourne Stuntacular suckssssssssssss.if we do get The Bourne Stuntacular where the Simpson is now
The problem with that is the restaurants are popular 'because they are themed to the Simpson's', and the Simpsons have proven to be a super strong theme park IP to move food and merchandise. Keeping the restaurants and theming it to another IP, though strong in Film circles, may not have that special formula that will be able to come close to what the Simpson's bring on the food and merch. front. Chemistry is often difficult to repeat.Universal, could make F&F and the Simpsons land into some sort of studio land.
We've talked about it before how the Simpsons restaurants are popular, and if we do get The Bourne Stuntacular where the Simpson is now they could retheme the restaurants. Make the Taco Truck/Duff Gardens into something for F&F, and then retheme Krusty/Chicken restaurant into what ever classic Universal IP's they think would draw people in/fit. Like Back to the Future, ET, or Jaws.
I mean, many restaurants at Citywalk/USH get busy with or without themesThe problem with that is the restaurants are popular 'because they are themed to the Simpson's', and the Simpsons have proven to be a super strong theme park IP to move food and merchandise.

Considering the size of the Simpsons Ride plot, an actual attraction like a dark ride would be a far better investment than a stage show. If they wanted to they could even expand into the tram stop for a Simpsons replacement.Universal, could make F&F and the Simpsons land into some sort of studio land.

Just realized, the foot traffic in this area is going to be so much worse...
