At this point, I will be good with anything that's not Potter related

Seriously. I'm so Potter fatigued. Let's go with something, anything else.

If they just reuse the ride system for a quick fix, Universal haven't learned anything imo.

Fully admitting I'm ignorant on a lot of things that are taken into account with a decision like this but how much extra capacity do they really need at Studios in the short term?

Gut the building and put a next gen spider-man in there with us riding in a floaty Delorean.

I could see them gutting it. Fairly common knowledge that Universal has had nothing but trouble with the VDL platforms for this ride system since the beginning, so on the one hand I would think they’d take the chance to get rid ASAP, but on the other that does leave them needing to maintain all the same spares / systems / knowledge just for the sake of Kong on its own.

I don't want more Potter here either, but at least with Potter, they don't skimp on quality.

I think there are only a few realistic IP possibilities here:

- Jaws – They could keep the San Francisco area, but the current ride system might be difficult.

- Back to the Future – Probably the easiest retheme. The area could stay mostly the same, and the existing ride system could be reused.

- Twisters – The ride system could work, but the theme doesn't really fit the area.

- Knight Bus – My least favorite option. It would almost certainly mean losing the San Francisco area, but it would be a popular IP and could still use the existing ride system.

- Universal movie mash-up – A celebration of Universal's biggest films. They could reuse the ride system while keeping the San Francisco setting.

- Complete demolition – Tear everything down and build something entirely new, maybe even a Wicked-themed attraction.

I just can't think of any other major Universal IPs that would be a good fit for that location.

The Odyssey: keep the existing ride system. “Everyone gather into the Trojan horse quickly!”
