Patent for 'Hybrid Ride Vehicle Systems and Methods' was reportedly designed for a Zelda themed ride that was being developed to replace Lost Continent at Islands of Adventure. This project is likely stalled and could be cancelled due to the pandemic, but the concept was supposedly being developed to open if Super Nintendo World was successful and they wanted to add more Nintendo lands for every Universal park over time.
The ride system starts as a boat ride, but then turns into a suspended dark ride halfway through.

Due to covid-19 safety precautions, Universal has set up their holiday parade in one of their large sound stages for 2020. This holiday walk-through experience will get you closer than ever to amazing Macy’s balloons and colorful Christmas floats. From DreamWorks Shrek and Madagascar to the Minions. You can also get a photo with Santa himself.
Construction update of the new Intamin launched coaster.
Safety nets are being installed all around the track.
Good news for coaster nerds, inside the ride’s queue guests will actually be able to see trains run by as they accelerate through the second launch.
More and more trees are also being planted in the construction area.
