I wonder if Cirque will be around in 10 years. Stage shows are vulnerable to cost-cutting around stage talent. And as much as many people love stage shows, I also think a lot of guests don't even count them when they list "the rides" in a park (say, compared to if there was a Fantasyland/Mystic Manor style dark ride there). It takes an "attraction mindset" to value them.

Plus, ten years form now, will Fantastic Beasts have any resonance? Will they perhaps "pull a (Disneyland) SWGE" and revert the land entirely to the O.G. franchise (of course, the new attraction will influence that possibility one way or the other).

I'd imagine Cirque will be "re-invented" as a new show to promote every few years.

The stage is fine, along with the puppets. Maybe it loses the circus element at the start and becomes more puppet-heavy. I think the Cirque part of the show, and I think more stunts and battle could be featured later on?

plus it's a 'good' show, not a 'great' show ....so it can be tinkered with without angering most of the GP. The present version is a 'tad' too difficult to understand.

I honestly think it's Mine Cart-- capacity it too low, and it's still unreliable. Hopefully it gets better, but it feels like it was a mistake.

I also think Curse of the Werewolf could easily be removed in favor of something better at some point.

I agree with both. Werewolf especially; I'd assume the sunk cost is low and they may be able to sell the ride to another park.

Mine-Cart... I'm wondering why this had to be a coaster at all. I would have preferred a pretend coaster on a track (like a Kuka arm). I get they wanted some drops/etc but I feel like this effect could have been simulated in other ways.

How common is it to dismantle coasters and move them? I wonder if Werewolf could be relocated into a future Kids Resort (with a different theme)?

I wouldn't say it's "common", but it's happened before. Considering the size and layout, it's a lot more feasible for Werewolf.

From my understanding, it occurs somewhat frequently with regional and international parks, though not often with Universal or Disney (actually, I'm not sure if Disney or Universal parks have done it at all).

I'd imagine the age of the coaster would be a big factor; if they decide to change this up in five years, the likelihood of moving/selling it would be much higher than if it's 10-20 years. I assume this is what caused RRR and Dragons to get scrapped rather than sold/moved.
