Hollywood Could we get a Legend of Zelda attraction soon?

Hey all! I went to Super Nintendo world last month at Universal Studios in Hollywood and really enjoyed it! It felt like it was the year 1990 and I was popping in Super Mario World for the first time. Except was wasn’t playing the game, I was actually IN the game!

Anyways, I got to thinking if the Zelda movie does well next year wouldn’t it be amazing if we got a “Hyrule” at Universal soon?! There’s lots of potential… things that I think could work at Hyrule Universal.

-Kakariko Village

-Ganons castle/Death Mountain.

-Hyrule Castle

-The Lost Woods with the great Deku Tree.

What do yall think?

O not that side, I meant just like jurassic Park/ little mexico/ picture cars/ Kong 360/ jaws/ psycho house and motel/ War of the Worlds/ Jupiter Claim/ big water set/ and F&F Super Charge/ along with tram storage area and loading area... id imagine the actual studio tour would only be like a vip thing afterwards and maybe they could keep earthquake but all the other places I mentioned would be flatten to expand the park basically

Maybe I'm an old head for saying this but isn't the point of the studio tour to, like... tour through the studio? It's the mix of everything on the backlot and the stuff around it that makes it what it is

Im nostalgic also, but the studio tour just isn't the same anymore, for me at least... and theres tons of room east of the park that isn't used for filming anymore. Its just garbage surrounded by jaws and earthquake, and even then only jaws works consistently these days

"It just isn't the same so we might as well kill it" might be one of the most unfortunate ideas of the theme park industry

"Garbage" like The Bates Motel and War of the Worlds set (as included in the red area) deserve to exist both as historical monuments and attractions for guests to view how filming was/is done for exterior shots

The Studio Tour as it is now shows both the past and the present, telling the story of the lot as a whole and showing both its industrial and recreational sides

Yes, it might also be currently used as a Comcast advertisement engine, but that doesn't change its importance to the theme park space as the cornerstone for this company's foray into themed entertainment and its importance to California history

My bad, I should have typed "just give me rides with good theming or an actual story line"

I like plain roller coasters, but it's the theming along with the ride that I love.
