Gault said the new ride would be a Spidey caliber ride, utilizing new technology. Now, when most people think of themepark technolgy, they think of simulators, and not so much Roller Coasters. Now, of course, the question is, IOA or USF?
If the new 'big' attraction is at USF, and it's not 'Shrek' or "Jimmy Neutron', then I'm afraid it may be The Fast & The Furious. Afraid, because if that is true, it may replace my favorite ride.
Gault has been reported mentioning TF&TF as a possible replacement for BTTF, and he has been quoted saying that he wants to do something with BTTF by 2003. Well, at the BTTF message board, we are all optimistically hoping tha that means a re-vamped version of BTTF, but we all also have the nagging idea that, if BTTF go soon, it will be replaced by TF&TF.
They have been movieng 'Fast' movie cars into the USF park recently, not to mention merchandise... even right into the BTTF store.
Gault said the sequel to the movie may be coming out when the ride opens. If it were an attraction like Harry Potter, or LOTR, or Matrix, there wouldn't be a 'may' in there. It seems like he wasn't even sure if the sequel to this property was coming out. That sound alot like the 'Fast' sequel.
Now, if said new attraction is at IOA, then I'd have to guess a new JP ride (hopefully, the Jeep chase themed one). Aside from X-Men 2, there is no other movie property with a sequel coming out soon that would fit in any of the other islands other then JP. Gualt also said it was a movie we already saw. Does that mean it was a movie we already saw as a movie, or a movie we already saw as an attraction? If it's the latter, then I would have to go with JP again. And the JP4 rumours would put it into something that would require a 'may'.
Here's hopeing for a new JP ride, and nothing that will replace BTTF (aside from a new BTTF concept).
P.S. Whatever happened to the Mummy in the Kong building? Is that a sure thing, or could there be a diffeent attraction lodged in there?
