I just watched the video, and she said that the trackless idea has probably been dropped and reimagined as a walkthrough experience.
That's not what she said in the video. Also, your thread title reads as news, not a rumor. You should fix that.
She said that it is one of many proposals for the ride.
I did and she said it is one of many proposals and according to the Universal Forums Universal is leaning to building the ride and having it be a trackless ride. It depends on the budget and what Universal decides.

The bottle neck at Studios needs an attraction without screens. The Secret Life of Pets attraction would be perfect.
Universal just opened one of the world's greatest roller coasters. Now what?
Universal showed they were still pushing forward despite the pandemic when Islands of Adventure welcomed VelociCoaster to its lineup earlier this season. The high-speed, high...
According to Alicia Stella it sounds like the Villain Con attraction will be an interactive walk-through instead of a dark ride.

Interactive walk-thru? Going down the Journey of Water route, eh?

Didn't the Kung-Fu Panda 3D attraction replace Shrek? I saw a video of that the other day. It's MUCH better than Shrek was IMO. Especially liked the preshow where various Dreamworks characters meet up and bicker with each other. Cute and clever.
As for the actual 3D part of the show, it's pretty good too. Needs more Tai Lung though.

You must be thinking of a different Universal park. Shrek is still very much where he's always been at USF.Didn't the Kung-Fu Panda 3D attraction replace Shrek? I saw a video of that the other day.

ANYTHING is better than Shrek 4D. Literally closing it and replacing it with nothing would be an improvement. It’s honestly embarrassing that it’s still operating.
That's in Universal Hollywood. The one in Orlando is still open for now at least. The one in Orlando is supposed to close this year and be replaced by a Villain Con walk-through experience.Didn't the Kung-Fu Panda 3D attraction replace Shrek? I saw a video of that the other day.

Yeah I agree 100% I hope the Villain Con walk through will be pretty cool. It's rumored to have interactive experiences and possible animatronics and screens.

Yeah, I’m all for a Villains Con attraction, just not necessarily fond of the idea of it being a walk-thru experience. Universal Hollywood just opened up a kick-asz Secret Life of Pets dark ride. If anything, USF should follow suit and do something akin to Hollywood. Regardless of it being based off of SLOP or Villains Con, Universal needs (in my humble opinion) more dark rides and grounded ones at that.
However, should Universal still plan to utilize that space as multipurpose facility for HHN, then perhaps a walk-thru attraction is essential.

Not a fan of the idea of more Minions right across the path from pre-existing Minions. The little yellow guys are fun and all, but let's not go overboard.
I agree I would rather see the Pets ride but it seems like it's not coming to Orlando yet at least.
I agree but it seems like Universal is all about the minions now

It's becoming Universal's equivalent of Frozen... something enjoyable until it gets shoved in your face at every turn.I agree but it seems like Universal is all about the minions now
Exactly Universal has so many other animated franchises to choose from with Dreamworks and Illumination but they always focus on Minions.
