I don't know if this is buried somewhere in this thread but is there any information on when and what will replace that horrid fast and furious dancing car thing? Every time I pass by it, those closed doors give me an ominous feeling lol.

Most likely nothing. The physical space is very limited.

Anyone know of the results for the electric tram testing that happened a few months ago? It seems the park abandoned the concept or went back to the drawing board.

I'm glad I saw the video of it, because from the screen caps, it looks like a really bad photoshop job

According to the pilot, The War of The Worlds plane crash set has been demolished as well. They will be missed.

It's still there. Funnily enough, though, he starts to talk about it right after he flies by it.

Not sure when it happened, but the old Site B building next to War of the Worlds is gone too.

Another interesting catch at the 10:47 mark:

The production building next to The Voice's soundstage has been demolished.

You’d hope they’ll add something to the tour with Whoville gone. Been 5 years since any changes right? Kinda getting stale.

I had to double check that Supercharged opened five years ago... Where has the time gone!?

I’m very curious what’ll go up in Whoville’s place, if anything, though considering the old F&F dancing cars locale remains untouched, I’m not holding my breath it’ll have any sort of replacement anytime soon.

I believe that's been gone for a year and a half, maybe more. It's been replaced by a small waterfall and a few benches. When I saw it, it looks less like a filming area and more of a serene sitting place for employees/film crew.

I was so sad when I saw it was gone. I only realized it was back there several years ago and couldn't wait to show my son who's jumped into the Jurassic franchise with both feet recently.

Crossing my fingers SO hard, but not holding my breath. My hope is that Whoville being gone is phase 1 with striking WotW being phase 2. Maybe it'll sit empty, tempting productions to film whatever they want there, being such a large plot of empty filming space to build a new scene.

The WotW set should never be removed, its one of the best things about the tour IMO

Honestly, the War of The Worlds sets is prime property for something, regardless if it's for the studio, or the parks..especially in it's footprint.

As impressive as it still can be, particularly for people who've never seen it before, its time feels like it'll come sooner than later, especially now with Whoville being razed a stone's throw away. Compared to things like the Jaws encounter or the Psycho house, which both celebrate indisputably iconic Universal properties, Worlds isn't a film that's necessarily a crown jewel in the studio's history.

If Universal was willing to get rid of parts many of us considered some of the "best things" growing up that gave the Studio Tour character, whether it's the lagoon's parting of the Red Sea, the cheesiness of the Avalanche/Mummy tunnel, or even the disuse of the collapsing bridge, then I personally feel like they'd have no problem pulling the trigger on the Worlds set if/when the time comes. Honestly, I'd be okay with losing it if it meant something new went up in its place, either as part of a future park expansion (like Alexander mentioned) or as something new for the Studio Tour, and would only be bummed at its loss if they simply did nothing at all with it afterwards (again, looking at you, dancing cars location).
