What did we learn and what will we learn from hydrodynamics at RHIC?

A brief overview of the current status of hydrodynamic concepts applied to ultra relativistic heavy-ion collisions is presented. Special emphasis is placed on future prospects for extracting the thermodynamic properties and the bulk features of the created medium from experimental observations.
