Portions of Kidzone closing January 16, 2023

From the 3rd, I imagine most of, if not all of KidZone is gone by now

So what's the rumour going in here ?

Nothing has been confirmed but, with the Dreamwork characters adorning the construction walls we can be sure that it will be a section themed to that side of animation to the studio..

How about some more Minions?

I can't wait to see what they come up with.

The current rumor is the new land will have a Trolls, Kung Fu Panda, and Shrek section. Woody's Nuthouse Coaster will most likely be rethemed to Trolls and there will be interactive meet and greets (maybe similar to Turtle Talk with Crush)

Call me when they take ET out. I love the ride but it’s so long in the tooth that ET could walk on his incisors.

But that would quickly enrage Steven Speilberg!

Guess you won't be getting a call anytime soon

Spielberg isn’t immortal. Yet.

Literal 90s eyesore.

I actually like the '90s, okay? Mostly the Y2K cyber aesthetic like DisneyQuest and Alien Encounter. Rocko's Modern Life is basically what KidZone is.

I think a major overhaul of the attraction would be fantastic. Especially if they got Speilberg involved with it, could be a great marketing push if they know their audience. It's the last original attraction at the resort, and I think Universal is aware it's a fan favorite.

If they did this attraction from the ground up, they could utilize a track system like the Donkey Kong Coaster so it looks like your bike is driving along the ground but then can raise off of the ground to fly. Just have it be a dark ride that's a controlled speed rather than a rollercoaster. The "bikes" could also have a motion to them. When they're trying to escape the police, it can rock side to side as if you're pedaling fast, and then rock front to back as you're flying.

Whatever they put is going to be vastly better than Kidzone.

They’re keeping a good bit of KidZone.

From what I saw from updates it looks like the Barney theater and Nuthouse coaster are still there..Would have hope they were going to gut the Theater and make it the 4d Kung Fu Panda attraction similar to the one in USH..

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Also with them doing whatever they are doing with the E.T. Adventure exterior plussing the outside for a better theme is okay in my book..

That ride is still amazing…..so no.
