Universal Orlando's makeover will capitalize on popular characters

Sounds like an X-Men ride is going to be made.

Eitther X-Men or another ride themed to Jurassic Park, since there's been talk of a fourth JP movie being in the works. I really can't wait to see what SKG Dreamworks has thought up for their Shrek attraction, sounds pretty awesome. T2 on steroids with the humor of Shrek sounds like a winner in my book!

-----------------

The new Shrek ride plus the new attraction in 2004, is gonna greatly improve the attractibility of Universal now. Get it pretty current, and even hip maybe?

The thought of a fourth JP movie disturbs me...greatly.

Lord knows the thrid one was horrible enough on its own.

I wonder If they still want to change the theme of Back to the future ride as they tlaked about in april.

Also I love the part about "we spent a year and a half researching Japanes tastes for food". When I read a story of them serving out of date food to the parks guest.

Army Rangers lead the way

I highly doubt they will do a Jurassic Park 4. The idea of adding an attraction to the JP section isn't influenced by any movie ideas- i think they just NEED an attraction there.

Does this thing go faaaaaast!

Hmm..X-men does seem to have a connection with the "sequel" he talked about. I wonder what else they could have mind...

Bob Gault sounds like an awesome guy. He really cares about his theme parks and i know he will do great things in the years to come. HuLK they are going to make a JP4. They already have a script ready and spielberg is in talks to do it before they make Indiana Jones 4.

It may be a Lord of the Rings Film. I believe that movie has a sequel due out around then. I'm sure it will be a great ride no matter what it is based on.

Guys, it wont based on ANY of those things. He said it'll be based on a movie you've seen before. Here's the deal...if they get the green light, as they said, Kongfrontation will be replaced by a ride themed to the Mummy. One of my buddies works for the company that's been working on this project. Perhaps I shouldn't mention the name of the company now, but let me just say that they have been involved with some pretty "chilling" rides : )

Let me guess premire rides perhaps?

So then if its going to be a mummy ride then there gonna come out with another sequel to it. What more special effects can they do in those movies.

It's a coaster going in the Kong show building, trust me, It is defently going to be laucnhed, probibly a Premier, as stated earlier.

The Matrix... or wait... The Fast and The Furious ;)

Todd, if they built a launched coaster which they're not doing it would be their own inhouse version that was originally designed for Apollo 13.

What does it matter, we probably wont be alive by the time they build whatever attractions he's talking about.
