You could fit transformers on the same bit of land

Yeah cool knock down Batwing, part of Superman, and block most of the path to Rivals, and still end up with a slightly smaller space. Nice! Dr. Who ride looking better by the min

If AA wasn't being replaced, an idea i had a year or so ago was a Batmobile slotcar like Radiator Springs Racers/Test Track. You bring back the partial show element of the Batman preshow, make it like the manors being atacked, people get ushered into a batcave, and batman remote controls you back to gotham. Gotham can make use of the Chinatown alley, or spit you out next to Scooby.

That would be sick. To bad there’s not enough room now

 

i think what ever it is it shouldn’t be a roller coaster. They need a good dark ride or indoor themed flat ride. I haven’t been on basically any dark rides so I got no idea what makes a good one.

A ride system like 

Harry Potter and the forbidden journey.

Don't Universal have some sort of exclusivity with Kuka?

I don't think so - Batman: Knight Flight at Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi has a Kuka ride sytem

From what I can tell, Universal & KUKA had a 10-year exclusivity deal on their RoboCoaster G2 ride system (the one used on all 'Forbidden Journey' rides). That supposedly started in 2007, and Knight Flight opened in 2018, which'd dodge the exclusivity. I don't know if it shares the exact same ride system as Forbidden Journey, though, as details are a bit muddy. Nor do I know if that exact ride system is still being manufactured anymore, as both companies involved (KUKA & RoboCoaster/now Simworx) have released updated models/concepts. Nonetheless, it would be possible for them to get a similar ride system if they wished to do so.

It's pretty much the same except the load sequence - instead of a rolling station you get put in little pods with their own operator who clears the vehicle then it joins the track at the next opportunity.

There are other companies that build KUKA style robotic arms but I believe KUKA are the only company who also specifically build for the purpose of amusement devices.

Far as I can tell, KUKA & Dynamic Attractions used to partner with the 'RoboCoaster' company to make the first amusement-focused robotic arm rides of that type, but the partnership seemingly ended once 'RoboCoaster' was bought out by Simworx in 2015 & made their own non-KUKA arm reliant, still 'RoboCoaster' branded ride model. Then, in 2016, KUKA made their own ride model that still utilised a KUKA arm, called the 'KUKA Coaster'. Neither the non-KUKA 'RoboCoaster' or the non-RoboCoaster 'KUKA Coaster' seem to have any verified installations, but Knight Flight's opening date & usage of a KUKA arm might technically make it a 'KUKA Coaster', which is a distinct ride model from the 'RoboCoaster G2' that Universal utilised for the Forbidden Journey rides pre-Simworx. At the least, the situation's confusing & kinda reads like a tongue twister.

Movie Park in Germany replaced their LTRR with a great movie studio themed coaster. Which I think MW would benefit from. Away from the super hero and other franchise IP’s they have.

Would be a great fit. The building could easily be raised if needed too.

It sounds like a lot of research and paperwork for anyone who is interested in a ride like this. That alone is probably a big detractor for installing one

Studio tour next to green lantern & dc rivals in the middle of dc superhero land? No thanks 

There’s a certain building that hosted our LTRR that I heard could be repurposed for a new ride.
