But, honestly(no sarcasm here), I can see why this attraction has a faithful following.

One wonders if there is any way to salvage the concept with new vehicles/new film replacement - I suppose Universal could do a new concept but will it be cost-prohibitive to make such changes (compared to simply tearing down the building?) At USH the show building seems like it's perched on the side of the hill - would demolition be too difficult or have too great an impact on operations in that park to make such a plan feasible?
