The Future of The Simpsons Ride/Springfield (Orlando)

[RFRees]

Shrek is old, washed, and just a cynical therapy session for Jeffrey Katzenberg. A play area and meet and greet is more than enough for a 25 year old property.

I think the argument is, "let's see how Shrek 5 does." If it bombs, then you're spot on. If it's huge, then your comment ages poorly.

Not sure when Simpson's is up, but they *might* have enough time between the movie release (June 2027) and Simpson's demo completion (possibly 2029) to fully decide what replaces it. (Especially if the decision comes down to two first party IP like Shrek and Wicked, as it would be harder to change a third party IP location last minute.)

Shrek, to this day, remains popular and has a new film on the way. Universal obviously sees interest in the property as it'll be a prominent IP in the kids park. It gets a good reaction at CineSational too.

If not Shrek, what other properties does UOR have in store to utilize? Let me know what other IPs are out there for UOR to utilize. The chart below is simplified a bit (let me know if I'm missing anything), but splits it out between target audiences.

Assuming Pokemon is the LC project and BTTF finds it way to F&F Supercharged, what IP replaces Springfield?


Edit: Chart above is only considering UOR

Or it could do well and what I said still stands. Even at the height of popularity Shrek had one 3D movie. Building a new Far Far Away in the late 2020s is a bad idea.

I kinda agree. the new movie could do great, but even the movie got delayed because of some problems.
and people were criticizing and mocking the animation for the new movie in that image that was released.

I hope it's something new. even wicked ( which I don't like) but something new it's good

I also wanna see Disney add the Simpsons to their parks

I mostly agree with you (not having more Shrek at UOR), but I'm not 100% on board with the logic of how you get to your conclusions. I feel you could easily insert many other IP in there and argue the same thing.
