BrilliantMagic2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Well you can see for yourself it's time for another great attraction in the works at Universal Studios Florida in Orlando,FL. The Mummy was brilliant but where could they put their next attraction? I think they should bring back KONG but I think it's a little too weird for that to happen,since it's just been demolished in 04'. My prediction is that they put like a Chronicles of Riddick ride in or something from THE BOURNE IDENTITY Series like a car chase type of ride,which would be real sweet!!!! I know we won't see this for awhile but maybe think about it like in 08'-09'.
jarmor Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 I can actually see a KONG attraction comming back to the park. It can make great publicity for the park!
Shockwave Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 A King Kong ride would do quite well at the momnt if they brought one back, but with Kongfrontation only recently removed, it might be a whole befoer they put a new Kong themed ride in, if at all.
Guest Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Seems like Kong would have had a place at Universal after all. Although I like the Mummy, I liked Kongfrontation as well. Too bad there wasn't room for both.
BarryH Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 I'm hoping the long-rumored Simpsons simulator goes into the old Herc and Xena building.
alpengeist04 Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 A Simpsons simulator would be cool. I would take anything, as long as it wasn't SpongeBob. Oh wait, wrong park chain.
Homer Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Ugh, Universal has got enough simulators... we have 3 of those things! I would like a small Simpsons themed area, such as a WELL-themed spinning family coaster (no crappy PW-esque "theming"). A few flats and such and would round out USO. (dreams of "Springfield" themed section)
JT3000 Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 I'd want them to use the area behind World Expo to recreate Skull Island with a knew Kong as the centerpiece.
Vince Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Well, first thing first, I dont think they are going to make another Kong. That would kinda be a 'wtf?' moment. The Mummy hasnt even been there for a year. The Kong movie was great, but they are not going to bring back something they recently demolished. They could put King Kong movie props in the Horror Make-up show, if they like. A Simpsons-themed area would be nice, but where would it go? They could take down Woody Woodpeckers Kidzone, but I highly doubt that they will do that. And I dont think that Universal has the rights to the Simpsons. What I would like the to do is to bring back that Jet Ski stunt show they use to have, or the Ghostbusters driving around USF again.
coasterzak Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 I wouldn't mind seeing a Kong ride. The movie just came out and has been pretty popular. Maybe if they made a Kong coaster. I love the Mummy. Give me any coaster in a box and I'm happy!
Robgraves Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 What I would like the to do is to bring back that Jet Ski stunt show they use to have, or the Ghostbusters driving around USF again. yeah, but maybe without all the homoerotic antics as the last incarnation... Cowboy Hats and Pelvic Thrusts... yeah, that was just.... ummmm...

W.O.W...here I am thinking the mummy has been there for atleast a year and a half. Ya learn something new everyday... But I think bring back a past attraction would get a WTF? Paramount did it was days of thunder simulator and disney basically just replaced space mountian with the same thing.
Vince Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Well, technically speaking, I dont think it has been here for a year.
BorisTF Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Well, technically speaking, I dont think it has been here for a year. if you're still on about The Mummy, i rode that back in August '04...and i'm pretty certain that was over a year ago...
BarryH Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Well, technically speaking, I dont think it has been here for a year. The Mummy opened on May 2004, so it's been there for over a year.
DerekRx Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 I don't know what's coming next, but when I was there last, I know Elissa and I were talking about how Beetlejuice has been there since like opening, and yet I've never seen it. If they need room for anything, they'll probably use that area. Although, I'd rather they take out Twister, PLEASE!!! But if they do, they better make sure they leave Bill Paxton in whatever Preshow there is for the next ride. There sure are a lot of unused areas of the park though, like the lake and the old Hard Rock building, still sitting there rotting away...
Vince Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Well, technically speaking, I dont think it has been here for a year. The Mummy opened on May 2004, so it's been there for over a year. Hm, really? I didnt know that. Thanks for the information.
Erik Johnson Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Someone mention something about the old Hard Rock building? Yes, the poor old Hard Rock is still sitting there as of 1/7/06.
BarryH Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 There's space in the area behind MIB. Don't forget the old Nick Studios building, unless Universal wants to put haunted houses in it this year.
Erik Johnson Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 I still think its funny that they sell a bunch of Kong items in the Mummy giftshop. Someone has a wicked sense of humor at Universal.
DATman Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 ^or they wanna milk the movie for all it's worth. (kinda like the explosion of Cat In the Hat merch.)
freestylenut Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 I doubt Kong is gonna happen. The new movie's popularity was far less than expected with audiences. It was 3rd in the box office this weekend (behind a $4 million dollar HORROR movie no less), so I think that's dead in the water. Universal hasn't made any big dents at the movie box office this year & they definitely need one. A solid hit actiony/sci-fi movie could make a solid ride.
