Guys, I like Kung Fu Panda.

Sad to see Woody Woodpecker go, but it's sadder that Universal has neglected the character.

If this isn't about a ride with a 3D screen, then it has no place in a Universal thread.

I think he's only been replaced in IOA, but I could be wrong. His presence was never really needed in that park anyway. Universal wanted to make him the mascot for the entire resort, but he's no Mickey Mouse.

Woody Woodpecker was the mascot for Universal. From what it looks like, the Minions have since filled the position.

If true, I'm kind of bummed that Universal would retire Woody from meeting guests. I can assume that the Woody Woodpecker film that Illumination Entertainment was previously announced to make a few years back has been long canceled. As for Po appearing at Islands, I like it. No complaints from me.

Ya it's not that I dislike Po I think he's nice but I feel like they cut woody for Po

Woody Woodpecker is still on the schedule for guest meet and greets in the lobby at Cabana Bay Resort.

For now.......

Well there is the Live-Action Woody Woodpecker film.

Then again Woody Woodpecker used to be an icon during the Golden Age Of Animation along with Mickey,Popeye, and Bugs Bunny and remained well-known to the public for decades. But he started losing popularity in the mid 1990's not helped by The New Woody Woodpecker show which was an attempt to bring back interest to Woody Woodypecker and co and even reintroduced his girlfriend Winnie Woodpecker but was short-lived.

After that show ended, Woody quickly fell into obscurity and is mostly known to the modern public as the mascot for Universal. He remains popular in Brazil to the point that he got his own Live-Action upcoming film that is currently only available in Brazil. Meanwhile the upcoming animated film starring Woody by Ilumination is currently in development hell.

To tell you the truth, I don't think anyone's going to get too excited about Universal meet and greets until they start meets with Harry and co. in Diagon Alley or with the Nintendo characters (A lot of potential with the latter).

I'm going with Nintendo. I sure would love to meet the Animal Crossing characters.

I'll wait in line for a picture with the cast from Super Mario Bros.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but the wait to see Po was one of the longer meet and greet lines I saw this past week.

I hope Tigress might be included in the future. She's already at Universal Hollywood.

Raptor encounter and Transformers are the best in Orlando.
