If Universal doesn't take the opportunity to decrease the number of 3D attractions right at the front of the park, a possible Shrek replacement is a wasted chance. Seems like very short sighted thinking to me to just drop in another show if that's what ends up happening. There are other options that would be truly beneficial to the long term health park.
Yea, but this costs close to 0.
Universal Orlando has 3 major projects coming in the next 4-5 years:
1) Nintendo
2) Potter Ride 3
3) Park 3 and surrounding resort
Switching Shrek out for a new show gives them some filler for 2019 while Nintendo is getting finished up.
We all know Glasses Alley is an issue, but it's an issue to take care of in the future, not when there are more pressing projects to get moving.
With Potter ride 3, do you mean the DC project? Or an expansion of London?Yea, but this costs close to 0.

Would be nice of they could expand both HP lands simultaneously, but then, if Nintendo indeed breaks ground after HHN, then I guess getting rid of FF whiles till working on F&F might be too much construction.Whichever rumor we're on now, I'm not keeping track. There's another Potter ride coming soon. That's about as much as I know.

According to forum contributor Quint it appears something is happening in relation to Fear Factor in the near future, and Quint's info is usually pretty good.Still sad to see IOA not getting anything other than a possible DC refurb/replacement (hopefully 2 attractions and a new restaurant).
There have been a lot of great ideas proposed for it since 2014:
Discovery Center dark ride and Amber Mine junior wooden coaster for JP
Lorax or Grinch dark ride next to Cat in the Hat
Wonka, Grinch or another IP replacing Lost Continent
SLOP dark ride in Toon Lagoon Theater
Avengers or Iron Man E-ticket replacing Doom and likely the Carnage warehouse
Nighttime show on the lagoon
Hogsmeade expansion (likely Forbidden Forest) to replace DC
While I understand a lot of projects have been competing in Orlando, I still think the JP expansion/revamp and nighttime show should have been done by now. Nothing opened in 2015, so it would have been a great time to prepare that section of the park for Kong in 2016.
Is the momentum going to shift towards IOA soon? I can't imagine so since Shrek, E.T. (if they decide to keep it and not use its plot for Yoshi), Fear Factor, T2 and, to a much, much lesser degree, Mummy/MIB will need to be addressed within the next decade.
