So with the new addition to IoA in the form of a She-Ra meet and greet, I would like to just throw out a concept.
Using the old Sinbad theater, which currently sits dark, I would like to put in a She-Ra stunt show. I realize most parks are moving away from stunt shows, including Universal ending their Wild Wild Wild West Stunt Show in the early-mid 2000s, plus the loss of Sinbad. However, I think She-Ra would fit right in. She's already meeting inside the Lost Continent, and considering what's remaining there is slowly dying due to having a lack of IP, and the only attraction is a walk through show of debatable quality.
I don't have a full idea of how the show would play out as far as plot. However, I could easily see them putting in the four main characters (Adora/She-Ra, Glimmer, Bow, and antagonist Catra) and having it being based around something like getting the Old One's Tech back, or something similar.
In a very male dominated themed park, it would be nice to allow little girls and young PoC (As Adora is really the only white character in DreamWorks version) to see and imagine themselves as the action hero. Instead of being the action damsel -see Indiana Jones- or the antagonist -see Wild West Stunt Show-. (Admittedly I'm not familiar with the old Sinbad show. I know I've seen it. But I don't remember the plot. And haven't had a chance to try and find a video of the show)
While I feel like this won't completely balance things out, I do believe it's a step in the right direction. Universal has the rights to DreamWorks animation, and has had the Shrek 4D show for ages, I don't see why they couldn't do this with something like She-Ra. I understand TV shows don't necessarily have the same staying power as movies, but considering that She-Ra is an 80s cartoon which got a major (and wonderfully great) facelift in design, I could see it having appeal.
