And a bowl of Turkish Delights.I think Narnia fails on the setting aspect of IP. Beyond going through the wardrobe and the lamp in the snow, there's not really anything else that would jump out as Narnia for a land.

I believe the plan in time is they build another Park and a "city walk like area on the ground parking lot and build 2 parking structures alsoI think the big expansion pad is for the long game for epic. I don’t think they’ll need to dip into it for the next decade or two. If they are playing the long game here, the central hub coaster will be ready for a major update by then - i.e. a re-track or removal. Look at the expansion pad if you also included the coaster space. Would definitely add enough space when combine with the large expansion space for two big lands and would give more breathing room to their portals in the middle.
Along those lines, they could do one portal sooner and use half of it during the next 10 to 15 years, and then use the other half when the coaster needs a major overhaul or replacement.
Lots of options here and they have lots of flexibility moving forward.
They’ll also be needing to spend some capital on the other parks and other opportunities, so I also think they will slow their roll at Epic with land/portal additions being down the line and focusing on single additions - ie Luigi’s Mansion, the HP Dining Hall, etc.
Yup - if you look at recent Google Map aerials, there's a site dedicated to a future parking garage between Epic and the Courtney apartments. Basic same layout as current UOR campus.I believe the plan in time is they build another Park and a "city walk like area on the ground parking lot and build 2 parking structures also
Considering there are expansions to the existing lands along with Nintendo lands for USF and IoA, I’d be shocked to see work start on a new land for EU for at least a decade.It wouldn't be surprising if that land is still unused 15-20 years from now -- Disney has unused expansion plots that are much older than that, and Universal still has unused expansion plots at Islands of Adventure (not sure if they have any at USF).
Lord of the Rings is the only one that comes to mind as a realistic option -- I can't think of any other IPs that aren't already in use that would be worth using that much space for a single land.
Not if it's as poorly received as In the Heights and West Side Story.Universal is releasing the first Wicked movie this Thanksgiving.
They can only hope? I've never seen either of those movies, but they've both scored over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes...Not if it's as poorly received as In the Heights and West Side Story.

I'd say Oz, as a concept, could make use of similar acerage.
'It's an Oz world after all, it's an Oz world after all...'Universal Studios Japan had a Land of Oz section at one point:

That "Wicked" is the logo of the stage musical. So, it must have been a marketing synergy at the time.Universal Studios Japan had a Land of Oz section at one point:

Ariana Grande could be for Uni what Olivia Rodrigo is for Disney. Give ‘em both a coaster! Although I suspect if they offer Ariana just a coaster; she will be like, “yes…and?”Not if it's as poorly received as In the Heights and West Side Story.

If only they kept the Streets of America!! We coulda had surprise dance-rumbles break out!!I am disappointed we didn't get West Side Story Land.

Ariana and Cynthia are both way WAY too old to play the characters
