View attachment 793367& a musical show over from the Bethesda Park Bandshell - (Inspired by an smaller version of the Naumburg Bandshell) called An American Tail Live. Which is a musical show, heavily abridged retelling the story of Fievel lost his family in New York from the 1986 Film of the same-named. - (even for them who did not see the movie yet) This show not only feature Talking Articulated Mouses - (which is Articulated-Heads that can blink their eyes & move/talked their mouths) also featured a gigantic animatronic puppet of Tiger.
As Guests left Production Central & enter into The Big Apple Set of NYC, they would find Theirselves that they are like they are in the real New York City but in the old decades of the Early 20th Century. With the entrance of the land is an nice small green park area called Bethesda Park - (which is the small park version of Bethesda Terrace & like Gramercy Park at the real USF) w/ the Bethesda Fountain as well.

The Main Point at the center of this plaza street is Penn Station, home to Universal's Best Dark Rides on Opening Day, Kongfrontation. Kongfrontation was based on both the 1933 & 1976 King Kong films & based to the King Kong Encounter from the Tram Tour at Universal Studios Hollywood in LA. The Story of this daredeviling adventure is you as the star of an New-York Civilian as you get on an Roosevelt Island Aerial Tram from escape the rampage of Kong on Roosevelt Island. & at the exit of the ride is Safari Outfitters Ltd., which sell both New York & King Kong Merch of that 8th Wonder of the World Ape.

On the left side of the Plaza is home to the New York Public Library. & inside is the Ghostbusters Spooktacular. Based off of the popular film series in 1984 by Columbia Pictures, the show not only featured an recreation of the first film's pivotal climax of the Ghostbusters's battle against Gozer but also with the storyline of Louis Tully introducing the guests to the Ghostbusters' new branch location in Orlando, Florida. But... however interrupted by Walter Peck, he left all the ghosts out & even Gozer & its up to the Ghostbusters to save the day. & at the exit of the attraction is Paranormal Store, where you can get your hand on some cool ghostbusters merch like the Slimer toys & puppets to the Ghostbusters Proton Blasters & Outfits.
The Public Library Plaza Area is also home to their entertainment during the day & night. like the Ghostbusters Meets Beetlejuice show, Where Beetlejuice got some skills on the Ghostbusters.
thanks pi, i'm glad u are enjoying this & as well for your's as wellLove seeing this project come back! Excited to see where it goes!
And who’s to say Illumination is timeless? Will it be as dated as Don Bluth in 15 years, if not more?Also you can't compare Disney classics to Don Bluth movies. Nobody is walking around with the mouse from Secret of Nimh (whatever her name is???) on their shirt. But they are walking around with a Grumpy or Dopey shirt.![]()
I don’t think a franchise being milked for a prolonged time on a large scale is the same as being timeless, but sure let’s go with that.The first Despicable Me came out in 2010 and it's sequels are still breaking records. I think it will definitely remain way more relevant than anything Bluth did. Plus it (and Dreamworks) is owned by Universal so they are more willing to create rides and lands for it. Which will keep it in people's minds for at least another 15-20 years. Look at Shrek by Dreamworks, it came out 2001 and it just got a new section in the park.
both of you got the point @Miru @MickeyMouse10 in the right thing/wayI don’t think a franchise being milked for a prolonged time on a large scale is the same as being timeless, but sure let’s go with that.
