I agree that it's not an equivalent replacement. However, I think the lawyers were getting antsy about the liability of the ride with the past injuries. There were also rumors that the manufacturer wasn't pleased with how Universal had been running it not dueling. Also, to fit it into the Wizarding World, they did a poor hack job. Also, Forbidden Journey is not a ride that everyone can do due to motion sickness issues. I think more people can do a coaster. I know people that can't do FJ but loved Dragon Challenge. I think it was just overall destined to be gone even before Hogsmeade had been completed. I think the new Jurassic coaster will be a really fitting replacement. It sounds pretty exciting.
