Woody Woodpecker’s Nuthouse Coaster (Universal Studios Dubailand)
Woody Woodpecker's Nuthouse Coaster is a junior roller coaster located at Universal Studios Florida. It was the park's first roller coaster and the first roller coaster constructed at Universal Orlando Resort. The coaster was built in 1999, between the outside queue area for ''E.T. Adventure'' and the original location of Hard Rock Cafe. The premise of the ride is that guests are going on a wild ride through Woody Woodpecker's Nut Factory.

A Day In The Park With Barney
''A Day in the Park with Barney'' was a live children's show at Universal Studios Florida based on the children's television show, ''Barney & Friends'', that opened in 1995 on the former site of ''The Bates Motel Set'' used in '' Psycho IV: The Beginning''. It also had a "Barney's Backyard" playground area with a chance to meet Barney in a meet and greet session after the main show in the Barney Theater. It was one of the few places where Barney's original voice actor Bob West could still be heard and one of Universal Studios' attempts to appeal to the younger generation. Due to the ongoing worldwide outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and its spread to Florida, ''A Day in the Park with Barney'' was affected many times during the reopening of Universal Studios Florida. Also, with attendance declining over the years, Universal Orlando announced the permanent closure of the show on February 3, 2021.

Amusement Rides Based On Film Franchises
Amusement is the state of experiencing humorous and entertaining events or situations while the person or animal actively maintains the experience, and is associated with enjoyment, happiness, laughter and pleasure. It is an emotion with positive valence and high physiological arousal. Amusement is considered an " epistemological" emotion because humor occurs when one experiences a cognitive shift from one knowledge structure about a target to another, such as hearing the punchline of a joke. The pleasant surprise that happens from learning this new information leads to a state of amusement which people often express through smiling, laughter or chuckling. Current studies have not yet reached consensus on the exact purpose of amusement, though theories have been advanced in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, and sociology. In addition, the precise mechanism that causes a given element ( image, sound, behavior, etc.) to be perceived as more or less 'amusing' than another ...

On October 27, 2016, officials announced the permanent cancellation of the project.
