Evidently, but I distinctly remember certain insiders saying we would be the only ones getting DK. Zelda and Pokemon were never part of this newer plan for the land. They supposedly want to build those elsewhere, although I don't know if they're still even being considered. They've been saying...

What happened to this being an Orlando exclusive? 🤔 Looks like Japan is getting everything we are, long before we do.

I don't know, maybe there's some global crisis or something that's keeping them from announcing a firm opening date (or even holding an Olympics.) But I'm just theorizing here.

I don't have any faith they'll do this correctly.

Ugh... I can't believe they're putting lockers right there. Now there's literally no thematic separation between JP and Hogwarts. They couldn't at least build something much taller to block the view? Is this still a THEME park?

I could see them trying to use that to their advantage, but I very much doubt that was the impetus for the park's compartmentalized design. Personally, I'd love to see them STOP renting the parks out to such groups. They shouldn't be allowed to buy that experience at the expense of other guests...

They never said anything about the design changing. And Universal is a theme park resort. The vast majority of its guests are NOT there on business.

Who would be so silly? ... 😒

Someone didn't think this through. :banghead: Not only will there be a coaster towering over Hogsmeade, they might also have to put netting up above the bridge if the coaster is going over it.

You're literally the only person I've ever seen or heard say MIB isn't a good ride.

It doesn't work there either. It was widely panned the moment it opened at USH. But F&F prints money, so they pushed through with a version here anyway. Hooray for corporate synergy.

Oh fitting it in isn't the problem. USF has a rather large building being wasted on a bad attraction at the moment. The trick is getting them to replace such a new attraction. ;)

If anything, they've proven the exact opposite. Dragon Challenge started to lose ridership as part of Lost Continent, and no one was riding it when it was in Hogsmeade. Cheap rethemes are never the answer, even with a popular IP behind it, and I don't think Rowling would even allow that again...

Confusing? No. Redundant? Yes. Don't you think the best location for such a land would be NYC? And yet that wasn't their choice either. Why? Redundancy.

I think you're presuming too much. This 100% absolutely isn't happening, for numerous reasons. The idea of simply retheming an ill-conceived ride, and the entire area it's in, to a popular IP and expecting that to be a viable solution is probably the most laughable part. Supercharged failed for...
