I'm trying to find an image of something that can possibly take the place of the disaster train. Its a moving platfrom, I first saw it before last years IAAPA convention. Does anyone know what I am speaking about?
Still cant find it, but imagine something like this on track
Could replace the train in godzilla and make for a cool attraction. an open space one where you can look all around you.
However, TNMT for Disaster (turn it into a sewer system and have some kind of ride/show) and MIB for Godzilla dark ride would be 100x better IMO
The reason why i'm going to say no on TMNT is there already is TMNT at that Nick hotel and thats in the orlando area.
I don't think Toho would allow Universal to just have Godzilla in a rehashed ride system or to have the Godzilla I.P at all. (As much as i'd a want a ride of it) Toho is really thick when it comes to that stuff, I know Universal is more than capable of pulling it off but Toho is really hard to convince. Hell Godzilla (2014) has been in production since after Final Wars came out.
I could be wrong but dont the own a part of the studio that made godzilla? I think they might have some of the rights
Legendary has moved with Universal. Gareth Edwards said Godzilla will most likely stay with Warner Bros (and of course Toho). Even though Legendary funded a huge part of the new film.I could be wrong but dont the own a part of the studio that made godzilla? I think they might have some of the rights
Ok that makes sense, I still see this happening though because of warner bros and potter. If warner bros funds a 360 video and makes it just the way they want it, Universal has to use it. In that case its more of a warner bros ride, creative would just have to program and design everything around it. Hope universal becomes great friends with warner bros in the future so they could use more of their properties in the future. I would love a horrible bosses 2 show to replace twister

I think Universal needs to be in a good standing with Toho. Universal can do it but it will take some time. I hope it's not just some 360-3D rehash. A Soarin type attraction for Godzilla would be amazing.
I'm joking!!!! Also disaster is going to get replaced by something it'll have to be a 360 ride. No way in hell are they going to demolish a perfectly good ride system and it's surroundingsTed is the only R-rated comedy with a shot at getting an attraction at ANY theme park aside from Blues Brothers and potentially Animal House if they ever decide to build a GMR-style attraction any show Universal adds would be a hard PG/light PG-13 during regular hours since plenty of parents would think "OOH teddy bear, Timmy will love it!!" I'm just anticipating what a nightmare that would be.
I could see a hard R version as part of HHN though.

Personally I'd take either... both would be a worthy replacement of Disaster IMHO. The park has given up on the filmmaking aspect for the most part and switched to the "real world locales" motif. Godzilla would actually bring San Francisco to life

That would really suck then. Disaster is one of the few rides left that uses completely practical special effects and that I can watch with my own two eyes without the help
of glasses. While Kong 360 may be cool as part of an informative hour-long tour full of other attractions, I fail to see what would be cool about it as a standalone attraction. Im not against 3-D by any means, but I am wary of the balance being tipped too far toward 3-D rides at the Studios.
It could easily be a 3-4 minute ride with just jaw dropping moments if they wanted it to be. I agree it sucks to see practical effects go away for a 360 ride but atleast it wasn't a giant ride everybody loves like MIB going down.That would really suck then.

I've only been on disaster twice and that's for a reason. The final part is awesome but the crap you have to get through to get to that part is painful. Audience participation is the lowest form of a live show. It requires no effort to embarrass somebody in front of a giant crowd. I don't care that it's done in a creative way like this, I still find it lazy and just a way to get cheap laughs. Even the final part is ruined because a "stage manager" is saying "SCREAM!!!" the entire time
Overall I see it's getting dated and I deserves a facelift. Screens or not I'm happy this is on the chopping block

I'll say it is, how many times has this ride been rumored to be taken down?I say remove MIB and put godzilla.
