Weren't there rumors of that becoming a Pokemon land or something?If that (BTTF) land came to fruition it would probably take over the now defunct FFL stage and MIB.

That was Simpsons being eyed up for Pokémon iircWeren't there rumors of that becoming a Pokemon land or something?
As for the timeline on Pokemon, insiders on IU are claiming 2030, but several others are holding out hope Universal will fast track it for 2028-2029 depending on how much USF's attendance gets sapped by EU.That was Simpsons being eyed up for Pokémon iirc
Genuinely will be shocked if NBCUniversal has the cash flow to pull it off. God knows they have probably already spent so much on EU.As for the timeline on Pokemon, insiders on IU are claiming 2030, but several others are holding out hope Universal will fast track it for 2028-2029 depending on how much USF's attendance gets sapped by EU.
NBCU has the backing of Comcast who makes tons of money off of telecommunications. That's probably why they can still invest in the parksGenuinely will be shocked if NBCUniversal has the cash flow to pull it off. God knows they have probably already spent so much on EU.
Right, I just have to imagine that those balance sheets are nasty, especially with post-COVID inflation. I don’t doubt that Comcast CAN fund these expansions, but moreso if they’re willing to go further into debt.NBCU has the backing of Comcast who makes tons of money off of telecommunications.

I’m 23 and BTTF my favorite movie, I’d love to have a land themed to this.I'd be willing to wager that Studios gets fan fest nights with BTTF to gauge interest in the IP.
I would think Jaws coming back as a ride would be a bigger priority than bringing back BTTF though. I'm not an exec though, so Marty McFly must be coming to Fortnite soon.
Apparently that is the plan, they know the money is in the theme parks. It's definitely not in streaming or media right now.Right, I just have to imagine that those balance sheets are nasty, especially with post-COVID inflation.

Monsters Inc, that's what we're talking about.I have no idea what’s going on anymore but to be honest, I am living for the chaos. I have no idea what’s going on anymore.
I hate to be this person, but we should not be taking his posts as gospel. Some of his posts have come true, but most of them recently were stuff already rumored beforehand. This is his post about what was to be announced before or at D23 from April. I've put in bold everything that actually was announced, and underlined everything that was announced/rumored before his post:btw Henry's track record is solid as stone, nobody should genuinely bet against him, one quick look at his post history and you can see he has not had one miss yet (things like adventureland Moana and DAK TLK have been backed up by others, those are not misses since he never said specifically they'd be at D23).
12.5/36, but say 13.5 because others have confirmed Moana was pulled last minute. That's a track record of 38%Animal Kingdom:
Indiana Jones Adventure, Encanto dark ride, Central American animals throughout the land Tropical America’s replacing Dinoland AND a Lion King ride for Africa, Zootopia show replacing “It’s tough to be a bug,” and a new night show with more fountains and drones.
Magic Kingdom:
Site work is to begin shortly for what amounts to a Frontierland expansion and more distantly, a new Villains Land the size of Galaxy’s Edge. Additionally, the Moana boat ride originally slated for Animal Kingdom will go in Adventureland between Pirates and Jungle Cruise. Tomorrowland Speedway will be different. Big Thunder Mountain receives an update. Stitch might not be in its current state for much longer, but it probably will not be announced at this D23. New Night Parade is pretty much a lock at this point.
Epcot:
Test Track redo opens summer of 2025, The Spaceship Earth update will likely be announced and will start once Test Track comes back online. I’d expect to hear one more announcement for EPCOT. Keep a close eye on the Figment project on Disney Plus. I've heard Inside Out will find someplace to go at EPCOT, but remember, some of these projects aren't as far along as others.
Hollywood Studios:
New land to replace Launch Bay. Rock n’ Rollercoaster retheme as well. Falcon mission update at HWS and DL.
Disneyland Resort:
New, unique Avatar land using the Shanghai Pirates boat technology at DLR. PeopleMover comes back in a new way at Disneyland Park alongside significant modifications to the land. Hollywoodland will go away. A Disney Springs-esque shopping district will likely be officially announced alongside plans for a new transit configuration for the resort. The Avenger’s E-ticket gets an actual announcement.
Walt Disney Studios:
Gets its own Avatar land and a Lion King land. Other misc. project in the existing part of the park.
Disneyland Parc Paris:
A larger than Soarin’ sum, so perhaps Soarin’/Soaring 2.0, Indiana Jones Adventure, or even a new version of Rise of the Resistance. I’d fully expect either a new land or two new rides including an E-ticket in total. Space Mountain will be back at DLP!
Shanghai Disneyland:
New Marvel Land, Toy Story Mania as well.
Hong Kong Disneyland:
Will get an E-ticket in Tomorrowland still, but I doubt they'll mention it at D23.
Plans can still change, but a lot of this should be announced by or at D23, some of this is long-term, though, and will not be included. Edited for clarity.
Here’s my take: not everything is wrong. There are some things that are right, it be very strange if he was wrong about EVERYTHING, but we gotta collectively deduce that. It seems to me, and i will not deny it if i was wrong, as this is a pure guess, he is putting out everything he hears/has, as opposed to filtering for the most credible. Who on earth knows, maybe he is all right about all the stuff, and we eat our words! But its likley somewhere in the middle.I hate to be this person, but we should not be taking his posts as gospel.

Even those that claim they know everything, may not know anything. Don't believe everything you read on the internet.I have no idea what’s going on anymore but to be honest, I am living for the chaos. I have no idea what’s going on anymore.
That's the main issue. Making a thread on everything you've heard, whether you've checked if it's credible or not, is getting people's expectations up on something that may not be a thing. The amount of "rumors" posted in the last few days makes it near impossible to deduce what is real, whilst it all feels a bit like Boy Who Cried WolfHere’s my take: not everything is wrong.

Yeah that’s my main vibe. Especially how he stated GMR-COT was a “very far out blue sky plan”. That’s kinda iffy imo.That's the main issue.

He lost me with “Brer Rabbit will be done justice” on the Figment note. Unless that’s just a general allusion to Baxter.I’m not going through all of them point by point.
But ignoring new parks, a port at HK makes 100% sense with the one at Singapore & Tokyo.
Some of the IPs will probably be in the Oriental parks. Eg My guess is Captain EO could be Tokyo, Mysterious Island likely an addition there too.
The DLP stuff is as legit as they come, albeit the Star Wars coaster is one of three potential coasters - and they may get 1 or 2.
Speedway at WDW was going to be upgraded back when Tron was a rumour. So maybe it’s simply resurfaced.
Moana’s announcement for MK seems to have been cut from D23 at the last minute. A big water area is maybe to replace RoA.
I took the Daft Punk as a joke!
CoP and GMR do seem unlikely.
Will they all happen? Probably not. But the plans for most might well do.
But getting excited is fuuuuuuuunnnnnnHonestly, does it really matter?
This stuff eventually gets announced and built, or it doesn't. I wouldn't get excited about anything until Disney has actually started construction.
I know right? Way better than hating everythingBut getting excited is fuuuuuuuunnnnnn
Maybe that was sarcasm, especially with the fact that roger rabbit was added in (i.e. it was “dreamfinder, Brer Rabbit, roger rabbit”)He lost me with “Brer Rabbit will be done justice” on the Figment note. Unless that’s just a general allusion to Baxter.
