Will Universal Studios Orlando Replace The Simpsons Land?

The Simpsons Universal Studios Orlando has been in jeopardy since Universal Studios Florida's number one competitor, Disney, went ahead and acquired 20th Century Fox in 2017. This deal resulted in Disney becoming the owner of the Simpsons, and with Universal Orlando's current licensing deal for Simpsons expiring in 2028, many have wondered whether Universal Orlando Resort will be able to keep the Simpsons past then. Today we will explore whether Orlando Universal Studios would even want to keep Universal Studios Orlando Simpsons, if it's possible for Disney and Universal Studios Orlando can make a deal for Universal Studios Simpsons, and if Universal Studios Florida Simpsons needs to be replaced, what could it be replaced by? All this and more as we discuss the Simpsons Universal Studios Orlando 2021.

The only land I’d ever accept to replace the Simpsons is Spongebob Land. Easy to retheme, change the Twirl n Hurl to a Jellyfish ride, throw away Woody Woodpecker and expand farther back to create a boat ride Tunnel of Glove, then a indoor rollercoaster themed to fit the first Spongebob Movie (with a drop into Rock Bottom).

One additional info that wasn’t mentioned here: The Simpsons is no longer that popular in the US, but it’s still immensely popular in other areas of the world (like Latin America). In countries like Argentina, they’ve become an integral part of the culture, and most people in their 30s and younger will know the dialogues and every episode by heart. Orlando receives mostly international tourists (Brazil and Argentina being two of the major tourist exporters), not just Americans. It’s worth mentioning that these international tourists (which represent millions of dollars) will keep flocking to the Simpsons area.

I think you're underestimating how much Disney values the Simpsons. They've stuck to producing more seasons and have gotten new voice actors to replace some of the established ones due to the POC characters controversy, but this also shows that Disney is willing to update the show. And more importantly, I argue that the Simpsons is Disney+'s secret weapon. The Simpsons is almost always in the top 5 highest trending shows on D+, and much like how the Office and Friends were mega hits on Netflix, the Simpsons provides an easily bingeable, long running established sitcom that's become a mainstay on the service.

It’s like NBC/Universal has the rights to Nickelodeon properties and aren’t utilizing them to their full potential like I understand Jimmy Neutron is of more of an oldie but Spongebob is still going strong to this day, it’s Nickelodeon’s baby and Universal could really capitalize off of that in a land/ attraction form. It would do so well for the park and I mean with the longevity of Spongebob, it could become a mainstay at the parks and could allow us to experience Bikini Bottom in a way we never thought we could.

[@razormc954]

@Jonathan Pal No, they still have a store in Kidzone

[@chromplex]

@Jonathan Pal The closure of Nickelodeon Studios was Viacom's own decision to scale back the (mostly) live-action productions taking place there. There's nothing that indicates a direct rift between Universal and Viacom; as far as we know, it was a mutual decision between both parties.

[@testtrack321]

a separate contract for the characters would need to be created, they don't "have the rights"

[@chromplex]

@Jonathan Pal Thank you for the insight, genuinely. I... tend to speak a tad out of my ass when it comes to anything with Nickelodeon, since I didn't grow up watching much of the channel or consuming any of its related media. That said, your stance only seems to enforce the idea that Nick's "Orlando leave" was a mutual benefactor for both parties. Nick didn't have a need for two simultaneous studios, and the rent required for upkeep within an active theme park was likely catching up to Viacom. I'd hardly consider what went down between Universal and Viacom a violent break-up. Besides, the Nick brand still has a slight presence at the Florida Universal parks; Nicktoon Blast, adjacent to the former Nickelodeon Studios, operated for a further 6 years after active show production ended, there's the incorporation of SpongeBob/Dora characters within the Superstar Parade (although this may be subject to change because of COVID,) and of course SpongeBob StorePants. TL;DR, I don't buy into the mindset that Universal and Viacom are on bad terms, they're friendly enough for being media giants.

Disney does care about Simpsons to some degree. The show and movie were a huge part of the marketing for Disney+. But I don’t know if they care about it so much to the point that they’d want it back from Universal. I honestly think that Disney will let them keep Simpsons and throw in a few extras in exchange for Marvel, as Disney definitely cares more about Marvel than they care about Simpsons. Disney definitely doesn’t care much about Family Guy as it’s not very family friendly and not on Disney+, so maybe they let them turn Marvel into Quahog and throw in a few more IPs they don’t care about? Idk honestly.

In the book, it was said that Universal and Disney do support each other when it comes to giving Orlando the name in offering the best theme entertainment in the world, albeit the parks are still one-upping the other in fair competition. The most value that The Simpsons are seen in Disney's wallet is the land at Universal and streaming; with that said, I can only see Disney allowing Universal to keep Simpsons for the royalties or open negotiations in keeping the licensing fees fair for Simpsons so that Disney can build an Avengers Campus, but allow Universal to keep Marvel Island as well. My dream replacement for The Simpsons is a Universal "ride the movies" Classics land. They can bring back BTTF, remove MIB and Fear Factor to create a backlot vibing land with Jaws, Earthquake, Beetlejuice, Kong (NYC), BTTF, Ghostbusters, Twister, Nickelodeon, Terminator; basically a fucking museum for a 90s era Universal. I mean, E.T. isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so Universal may as well blend it back to its early days.

@Onoitsbroko I love those donuts as well but if universal forced to give up Simpsons they have to give up the donuts. At least the name. They are very popular and I’m sure they would find a way to still sell them but would have to be under a different name

Not only that but universal would have to replace the Simpsons ride in Hollywood as well

Simpsons is the one screen ride that I like at studios. It's pretty much the same as BTTF just with the simpsons trademark humour. Love the Springfield theme around it, would be a shame to see it go. I personally don't think they will get rid of it since simpsons is the biggest TV series out there and they won't want disney using them, just like with marvel.

[@AttractionIdeas]

The Simpsons ride is so funny. The “soiled your pants for the last time” and the “all rides must end at the gift shop” jokes get me every time.

[@notchuckproductions5029]

I think Disney will let universal keep the Simpsons, if I remember Bob Chapeck back when he was the head of theme park division said something of the line of “We do not plan to integrate any characters from the Fox library into are theme parks out side of maybe a meet and greet” witch is understandable considering a lot of the Fox properties are not family friendly and reluctantly let the 20th century Fox theme park in malaysia still happen. So I could actually see Disney renewing the license just with maybe 50% in merchandise sales. Also as a side note: Disney,I know you don’t plan to make attractions based on Fox, but now that you own the alien franchise,but could you bring back alien encounter with the a xenomorph? Not only would it be better but it would pay homge to the fact that alien encounter was originally meant to be based on Alien

At this point considering where other animated sitcoms go The Simpsons are a family show.

When I went to universal studios in Orlando back in like 2011, Simpsons land was NOTHING. It was the ride, a Kwik-E-Mart, and a bunch of potential places for restaurants that either were just facades or were all weirdly closed the day we went (during spring break? Hard to imagine) The footage you showed looked SO COOL! I would’ve been way more excited about it if it’d looked like that.

[@jonnyboy4289]

Alas, of the Simpsons had to go, they can always bring back Back to the Future and replace Springfield with Hill Valley. Bring back the Back to the Future gift shop, include restaurants that sell back to the future hot dogs and have a restaurant called Doc Browns fried chicken, like what Universal Studios Hollywood used to have. Bring back the original ride, update in 3D/High Definition, and replace 2015 with 1975 to avoid this ride from being outdated.

I’ve always loved the Simpsons Land since I grew up watching the Simpsons. I barely watch it anymore now, but like you said, it’s still so well known and relevant I can’t help but love it. Especially the Lard Boy donuts (I think that’s what it’s called).

[@SciFi2285]

The property is much more valuable than the show itself. Simpsons merchandise continues to sell. The characters are basically walking memes, and as such, are repeatedly referenced on social media. And Springfield continues to be the second most crowded “land” at USF after Harry Potter. Do any of these people actually watch the show anymore? I don’t think it even matters.

[@eatatjoes6751]

The land looks...dead outside of branding.

[@uliverse7227]

MY PREDICTION: Disney will let them keep Simpsons and the marvel land for another 10-15 years (with the option to renegotiate) and Disney will get the license to open their own marvel land effective immediately. So there will be 2 marvel lands, but at least Universal doesn't have to scramble for a new land. (especially when they are having Covid money problems and will find it very difficult to open both Epic Universal and Re-theme the entire land.) Disney can easily do this.

[@dowilson]

Marvel and the MCU in Marvel Studios are separate.

[@dowilson]

One is from comics and one is from the films. It’s just only about the characters & if Disney is willing to share them (which u know they won’t).

I wonder if they can make a deal that Universal can use the comic book incarnations of Marvel but free up the movie versions for Disney to use in their Florida parks.

[@detroitdiezel7856]

Universal already has the rights to the comic versions of the characters in perpetuity, so long as they keep the attractions updated. Hence, the upgrades to Spider-Man and The Incredible Hulk. What Universal doesn't have is licensing rights to the movie versions of the Marvel Studios characters. That's why Disney is putting them in their parks at Epcot and California Adventure.

[@carvahaunter122]

The show is lackluster now, starting around Season 10-11 but it’s still iconic to this day so I think it’s always gonna be loved like Looney Tunes, Mickey, and other popular and long running cartoons. And I can’t really see Disney making their own Springfield so I think a deal could be made, just forcing it to shut down would be pointless and disappointing cuz that’s my favorite area in Universal FL, but I do think they should refurbish the ride a bit.
