You could always retheme Men in Black to be Ghostbusters. It really wouldn't cost that much. This way you have the space for something else in the front.

Out of the HB toons I think Scooby Doo is now the most marketable and relevant. Theme Park Priest came up with some great ideas for a Haunted Mansion-like ride. Universal should try to do one, it would provide some variety.

They could replace that Kidzone area with (Hanna Barbera) and people would be fine with it. Fievel hasn't been relevant since the early 90's.

I'd probably stay away from 2D animated movies Bone Daddy. The Universal ones haven't aged well at all. Only the computer ones have stayed relevant.
How about Dreamworks? There's plenty of options for those groovy toons.

I disagree profusely. Both The Secret of NIMH and All Dogs Go to Heaven are considered cult classics.
Thank U @Evilgidgit & yes also i was thinking if a Don Bluth attraction which is a film attraction began outdated in the early/mid 2000s then Shrek would come to this space in the Art of Universal Animation attraction.
Good Point, maybe i would think about that.

1. When was the last time you watched these movies?
and
2. How many kids born in the the last 30 years have watched them?
They're irrelevant movies with irrelevant characters. That have no marketability whatsoever and they wouldn't sell a t-shirt.

I don't particularly believe it is up to us what and what isn't relevant to be included withiin HomeImagineering's personal project. There remains a strong popularity for Don Bluth's films amongst those who grew up with them, even if it is not reflected within the theme parks. Like all films and works of fiction, they can be passed down to the next generation, and enjoyed by all. Films considered popular day may become irrelevant in 30 years time. Historically speaking, the quality of Don Bluth's films and success at the box office convinced Disney they had to revitalise their animation department in the 1980s, serving as one of many factors that led to the Disney Renaissance. If a Don Bluth related attraction was included, it can easily be refurbished into a more modern day IP like a Dreamworks film for instance.

First of all it’s @HomeImagineer ‘s project they can do what they see fit.
Second of all the whole purpose of this project is to have an alternative version of the park we know today, and this includes changing its opening day lineup attraction. This version is the park is opening in 1989, there is no CGI animated film and as a matter of fact there is not even a Disney Animation renaissance. Secret of Nimh was an okay box office success but was a larger success in home media, which it had been released on at this point. All Dogs Go to Heaven in this park’s timeline has yet to be released and given the studios prior films it would make sense for Universal to anticipate it being a huge hit given how An American Tail and Land Before Time performed.
I think we should all just sit back and enjoy this alternate theme park history and keep in mind that even Disneyland threw bones to properties that were considered flops such as Alice in Wonderland.

Hey Everyone, I told you i'm back & ready to back to work, even it's still Summer. & I figure out what ideas i would put in this idea.
THE MCA/UNIVERSAL STUDIOS ENTRY AREA
Guest start a Studio-Adventure by coming in the Universal Gates & enter into the world of Movie-Making.
The Ticketing & Entry plaza for Universal Studios Florida is the starting point of the park. Its design is largely inspired by Spanish Colonial Revival architecture from Other-Studios in Hollywood, California including Universal Studios Hollywood. The Plaza also features music from other Universal Movies like The Universal Monsters, Jaws, An American Tail, E.T. & Back to the Future. This medley of cinematic soundtracks perfectly sets the stage for the beginning of the Park.
Ticket Booths
The Plaza’s boundaries are marked by rows of ticket booth structures on the left-side done in Mission Revival style.
There will be seven to ten staffed ticket booths.
Guest Relations Building
Guest Relations is found in the Universal Studios Administration Building. Guest Services within include restrooms, a Pet Club, and storage lockers.
Storage Lockers
Storage locker rentals called "Studio Audience Center" are available in the transitional space.

Even your fav stars from your Favorite cartoons would also come to the streets for "StarToons", The show featured Hanna-Barbera & Universal cartoon characters as they dance & greet you with your little ones.

Now as we are completed the right side of the Studio Forecourt, let's now go on the left side of the area now & see what has this store there.
The First Thing on that right-side is "The MCA/Universal Production Tour". It was a combination of a walking & tram tour of the backlot area of Universal Studios. The First Thing on this Production Tour was a small-exhibit warehouse - (which was still the queue for the attraction) where is home to some Props & Sets to one of your fav movies or shows. Then into the Television Room where its home to a small-room full of writers & directors - (cast members act as writers and directors) create polished concept, sets, props, and SFX with hosted Ron Howard. Then finally guest aboard on an Studio-Tram just to tour around the whole Universal Studios. From inside Working & sometimes attraction Soundstages like Kongfrontation to the sets of New York, San Francisco & even Hollywood.
For Candy and Sweet Lovers there "Studio Sweets". which is a Candy Shop with a splash of Art-Deco to this.
Moving on, the next thing we see near to the Candy Shop is this small soundstage called "Stage 12". Stage 12 is constantly an small exhibit to feature displays and props from an Upcoming Universal Pictures film or films from Live Action or Animation.
& Speaking of Animation, the biggest attraction in the area was "Universal's Art of Animation" - (which was the answered to Universal's Version of WDAS). This Attraction inside this huge Soundstage home to the Making of Animation with three attractions, one dining area "Animator's Break" which is a small quick service café & two shops inside "The Animation Store & Hanna-Barbera's Store". The Facade of the Animation Attraction you can see on the bottom right could be similar to Disney Animation at Disney-MGM Studios but different in-terms of the same design of these soundstages.
The First attraction is The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera, a motion simulator ride with characters created by Hanna-Barbera including Yogi Bear & Boo-Boo as hosts as Dick Dastardly & Muttley have kidnapped Elroy Jetson & its up to us to save Elroy.
Next to next is The Magic of Don Bluth, an combining theatre presentations with interactive exhibits attraction that is based on Don Bluth's Famous Movies with Don Bluth himself & with their stars Littlefoot & Fievel telling people about his animation tells a story and then, they get into a small theatre where an 12/13 min film w/ 3 screens like a multimedia show showing Great Moments of Don Bluth's Movies like Banjo the Woodpile Cat, The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail, All Dogs go to Heaven & The Land Before Time & Music was composed by Robert Folk - (the guy who before composed Don Bluth's 2 movies in the 90s, "Rock a Doodle" & "A Troll in Central Park"). Then as the doors open & they exit out the small theater, guests are now in "Don's Gallery" which its an drawing & interactive exhibit attraction where you can make, draw, design & built your own Don Bluth Movie.
Our finally stop is Walter Lantz's Wacky Worlds of his Imagination, a 20/25-min attraction that shows how animated cartoons are made with Walter Lantz, As we guest inside an Animation Room, we are host with the Hosted who would show guests How They Created Woody Woodpecker with a bit of magic. But then Woody Woodpecker seems to jump off the screen as you watch through 3D glasses in a hologram/ghost-pepper type attraction created by BRC Imagination Arts with a great blend of visual & practical effects. Then once they exit the main theater, you’ll have the chance to create your very own Woody cartoon with Interactive kiosks & games. This was used for the same-attraction from Universal Studios Japan but just say if this could be the first one to used before Japan as one.
& During the day from Street Entertainment came down on the Forecourt Street like "StarToons". StarToons was a live stage show featuring characters from Walter Lane Creations, Hanna-Barbera, Nickelodeon & even a bit from Don Bluth like Fievel from An American Tail & Littlefoot from The Land Before Time.
& That is it here at Studio Forecourt. The next area we would be going next is to the streets of "New York City" home to King Kong, Ghostbusters & even to The Blue Brothers. So Stay Tuned & had a Happy Halloween everyone.
