So when will the Kid Zone closures begin?

[JungleSkip]

Leave the nice park alone.

...but why? Does anyone spend any time in Central Park other than walking through it? It serves no purpose. If I had my way I'd demolish Gardens of Allah and the Park and put something worthwhile there

I don't even enjoy walking through since the section near the time train is a designated smoking area now.

I don't really think the parks "need" flat rides or a kiddie coaster. I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to them adding something as long as it looks nice and fit whatever area it ended up in. I do agree there won't be much for the young ones until Mario opens, but that shouldn't be excuse to put in some sort of tacky kiddie land in the middle of NYC. There are a lot of smart and creative people on the payroll I wonder if they could cook up some sort of solution.

Flat rides serve a purpose, and when done well are not tacky. Just because they're "cheap" in theme park terms doesn't mean they can't look nice.

The only flat rides I believe fit parks such as Disney & Universal are carousels, tea cups and dumbo types, that is all. Anything else is just plain cheap.

I could get behind a coaster if it was themed to look wooden. It would look beautiful within the area and could easily be paired with a carousel to add a lot of energy to the area.

Right. Paradise Pier doesn't look cheap or tacky because it is (well...was) themed well.

Won’t it be a hoot if they have nothing planned at all for the young ones. They just shut Kidzone down children be damned.

Teebin has spoken everyone. Nothing is planned.

 

[jrn14]

I don't disagree with you if they can figure out a cool way to integrate it into the parks then I'm all for it, but I just don't think they should plop it down in the middle just to up ride capacity or like tear down. I think there are several places they fit in really well and others' not so much.

Probably true.

I'm still betting we get street shows on that side of the park... even if it's just the wandering tourists we had when Diagon was under construction, something will probably show up over there.

Mater's Junkyard Jamboree-type whip-rides have a place too, IMO. I could see a Pokemon or Zelda one coming in UOR's future. (obviously not in Central Park, though)

That too. Anything else is a no from me.

And we should expect Beat Builders to move across the lagoon probably?

Yeah that would honestly be the most logical. It would move them out of what will be a high traffic area once Supercharged opens and it would also save Universal money as they wouldn't have to pay for extra entertainment.

Put them in the Central Park trees with Tarzan outfits and call them "Tree Beaters".

I value any green space in the Studios as most of it is concrete...Plus, I always see people relaxing in that area...Leave it

I agree. That's my Studios' quiet green space. IOA has a lot of quiet relaxation spots, but Central Park is the only true get away at the Studio's park. Time sitting on the park bench, relaxing in the quiet & people watching, is Priceless.
