First, your caps lock key seemed to be stuck. Second, I've heard of worse decisions by Orlando-area theme parks....

Those old cartoon characters have no modern presence at all. They need to get them out there if they want modern families to keep responding to them.

What? This isn't being reported anywhere that I can find and the ride is currently open with a 5 minute wait right now.
They're ranting about characters, not rides (although we already knew Kidzone was on the way out.) They recently announced a new Kung-Fu Panda character. Meh? It's probably best to just start ignoring these melodramatic "Universal's sky is falling!" threads.

Woody will still be around just not as a meet and greet guy. Ask any kid who he is and you will see why. Popeye and Olive and not long for the park either but they have to ditch the land first.

Yeah, we need to stick to the whole "Disney is crumbling" schtick.

Comic Strip area? That would stink. I love Popeye! Best raft ride I've ever been on. And there's just something about Dudley. Not the best visuals and it's not in tip top shape, but it always makes me laugh.
As for kids not knowing who he is, I can see that, but Disney keeps characters that kids might not know. The 2 ding-dongs from Alice in Wonderland for example.

My kid is now 15, but when he was little, he LOVED the old cartoons- in the $1-5 video section LOL! He even liked Little Lulu (really old black and white stuff). I think if they started airing them, kids would watch.

I was worried they got rid of ICEEs.

Old cartoons are great, and I love having the more obscure characters maintaining a presence in the various parks.
On the other hand, Woody Woodpecker is one of the most annoying cartoon stars ever created and it's a bit of a push to call most of his shorts "classics."
On the other other hand, one of the most charming things about Uni studios is all the characters out, wandering around, in the morning. The more the merrier.
Are we sure Woody's done?

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. Of course, Kung-Fu Panda really has no business being there either. If they're going to use him, he should be in USF.

Universal should really push to work on the Nickelodeon relationship. If there's 1 cartoon character that could be resort mascot and compete with Mickey, it's Spongebob.

the old Disney cartoons are some of the most "violent" LOL! Steam Boat Willie and all the "animal abuse".
