Universal Orlando is filled with several different themed attractions that allow the Guests to be fully immersed as they enjoy the theme park. But there is one thing missing from Universal that Disney has excelled with: slow, non-thrilling boat ride attractions.

From Pirates of the Caribbean to “it’s a small world” to Living With The Land and of course, the newest boat ride based off of the Disney animated hit Frozen — Frozen Ever After — the Disney Parks are filled with a variety of non-thrilling but immersive boat ride attractions.

So what if Universal built a slow boat ride attraction like Disney has? What would it be based on? What elements would it include? Well, one Twitter user @CraftyAshley_ recently took to social media to bring up this fun discussion:

If Universal were to build a non-thrilling boat ride (something like Pirates of the Caribbean or Small World) What would you want it to be?

And the responses are so fun! From fun cartoon like ideas including Spongebob Squarepants or Shrek to more intense ride ideas like Creature from the Black Lagoon or Jaws — and of course the obvious, The Simpsons — the Twitter-verse is pouring in fun creative ideas Universal should totally think about moving forward with!

While at the Most Magical Place on Earth, she can typically be found people watching on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, relaxing at Baseline Tap House, snacking on Mickey-shaped foods, or hanging out with her foolish mortals at the Haunted Mansion.
