Never-Built Rides at Universal Orlando's KidZone - Nintendo, Pokemon & More - UnBuilt Universal

https://www.patreon.com/ThemeParkStop Plans for rides based on Nintendo, Pokemon, Smurfs and more were all cancelled, some at the last minute. Why is it so hard to replace the outdated attractions of Woody Woodpecker's KidZone in Universal Studios Florida???

For more than a decade the outdated properties of Woody Woodpecker's KidZone in Universal Studios Florida have been spared from rethemes and demolition. Numerous attempts to tear them down and build something fresh have been thwarted at every turn. Some say the land these attractions are built on is cursed. Here are just some of the concepts for new rides we almost got, but never did, thanks to the KidZone curse.
