Jaws really should be reimagined at Universal with their Epic Universe. It’s a classic Universal movie that still is as popular as ever. Maybe open it with Jaws 50th anniversary in 2025.

[@jordancasillan5965]

They should also do the same with back to the future. I would love to see jaws and bttf back in the parks as lands

[@cstumpy51]

Jordan Casillan 100% agree. Both rides could benefit from an update. I don’t think those rides were necessarily unpopular either so why not bring them back?

[@TECfan1]

@@jordancasillan5965 YES!! A full sized Hill Valley land would be incredible. It would be interesting if they could somehow make rotating facades to re-theme it to the different time periods Doc & Marty travel to.

I would have enjoyed Oz I think. And I would have repeatedly gone to see “Wicked”, even if it had been abbreviated. I love that musical... and the books. I went to go see it on Broadway in NYC and it was just one of the best theater performances I had ever been to. The actors and actresses working on musicals on Broadway are so good, they make you feel like you’re watching a Hollywood film at the best quality possible.

[@BigCheddah]

Unpopular opinion: it makes me sad how Disney re themes rides so much. I feel like if a movie doesn’t have the success frozen has, it won’t have a ride (or a ride for long). Would love to see hunchback, roger rabbit, Atlantis, emperors new groove and more in the parks! I feel like Disney has their favorites and the rest is ignored lol

[@GreyM900]

True. Like I’d be down for an Emperos new groove roller coaster. Like Frozen for example, has a ride in WDW then it’s getting a land and two more rides. Because it’s popular. But if they take away roger rabbit at Disneyland people are gonna freak

[@bunniesbunniesbunnie]

with regards to future world: I feel like it's largely just laziness. Yes, it costs money to update things, but it doesn't cost that much on the grand scale of things. There are so many ways they could have preserved future world. Imagine opening Innoventions twice a year to people looking for crowdfunding for sincerely brilliant ideas interspersed with the corporate sponsors. It'd have been so easily done under a Stark Industries header and it could have changed the world, literally. Instead, we get a Moana fountain.

[@RedVanquish]

For my brother's birthday, I put him on the jaws ride. He sat at THE seat where Jaws pulls the boat down. We planned this on purpose. He thought it was a regular boat ride till the shark came out of the water. Best prank ever. It was 3 years coming and well worth it. I miss that ride.

Man. I had been to most of these lands. Condor Flats(back when CA was new), Critter Country (before Winnie the pooh and after), A bugs land, and Future world back in the late 80's. It takes me back to those days when I went to the parks and I know a part of me will miss them dearly, but change is good. Making it fresh and getting people that went to it before a new ride or attraction to experience. Someday I may go back to the parks and experience the new and interesting rides that replaced the old ones. I will always remember the original attractions I got to go to and nothing can change the wonderful memories I have had in those parks. Sure I will miss them, but there are so many videos on KZbin I can go back to that help me relive them once more.

Hi! What do you think they'll be doing with the animatronics from Splash Mountain? It's always a bit sad seeing some classic animatronics get the short end of the stick. I heard they were re-skinned from the America Sing's ride, so they are quite old. While I'm sure they might reuse parts here and there, its just not the same to see those classics as themselves or that old-style animatronic movements. But do you think we'll be seeing those same movements but reskinned as some of the princess and the frog characters? Love your videos as a theme park and animatronic enthusiast~

I've sadly only ever visited a small handful of theme parks and one of these would be Disneyland/California Adventure only once back in 2010. I grew up watching Bug's Life, Toy Story (both the first and second), and Monster's Inc almost every day. I was so excited to find out about the Bug's Life themed land in the park. It was magical walking in and feeling like you had been shrunk down to the size of a bug. I was sad to see it was being torn down, but I know that not many kids know Bug's Life these days like they do other Pixar movies. I wish I enjoyed Marvel movies so I could say I was excited for the remodel, but so far I've only seen half of Guardians of the Galaxy. Maybe one day...
