Much better viewing locations, easy way to get guests out of the park and still keep them in an area with plenty of shopping / dining options.

If they wanted to replace it as well, I feel like they would have removed it when they removed everything else. My guess is the tube is attached to the queue building/loading area and can't be removed without just removing everything. <br /><br />Still, I'm sure Universal can pull this off.

It looks like they're cutting the middles of the footers out (like coring them) and will repour concrete into the centre to cut down on the groundwork.

Because of their location, they can't use many fireworks which is why the current show at the other park is basically all water screens with a few fireworks at the end.
