There’s chat in the Uni Orlando forum. Let’s see what happens - or doesn’t - in Paris in the next six years.

I do wonder if Saturday's announcments are going to be tweaked or not? The only thing they could announce that might overshadow Universal announcing a whole park the same week would be a new expansion to Disneyland Parc

Universal Studios Great Britain — Possible Location Revealed for UK Theme Park

Rumors for a new Universal theme park coming to the United Kingdom seem to be backed up by the company purchasing land in England

orlandoparkstop.com

Not sure how accurate this is but its interesting detective work

I suspect if it’s anything Universally could be building a studio in the UK, possibly with a smaller tour or mini park. I don’t expect they would build a full park in the UK

Is it certain that new flat ride opposite Rapunzel would be UP?

We'll only know for certain when Disney announces it. There's a DLP news panel on Saturday...

Sorry, let me rephrase that. Are there any other rumors besides it being Up?

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Must say the long boulevard is starting to look quite pleasant as the trees start to sprout leaves. Nice to see them also finally begin to plant trees on the berm at the back of the park.

I didn't expect Disney Studios Paris to have a better berm than Epic Universe, but here we are.

Universal releases Epic Universe previews, and now they're expected to formally announce (with concept art) their UK park tomorrow.

Concept art is out now.

Maybe I missed it. But is a new Flat ride rumored for Adventure Way along side the Tangled spinner? Or was a 2nd spinner cut from the plans?

There's always been a 2nd flat ride planned to go opposite Tangled near the Gazebo Garden and the lake, but the theme has been up in the air for ages, no pun intended

Another spinner is fine but I hope the UK Universal park coming in 2031 gives them the motivation to have the 3rd 'world' around the lake after Lion King ready around the same time. And if not that an e-ticket expansion for Avengers Campus like DCA is getting now. But I do not expect Universal to change the trajectory of what they have planned for the next 18-24 months and what they will announce this Saturday.

Ideally they'd announce a new ride for Disneyland Parc. Next year marks 20 years since Buzz opened, still the newest ride at the park. This year marks 30 years since Space Mountain opened, the last expansion to the park

Such an odd juxtaposition to have the nice paving, planters, lampposts next to the original Studios buildings

No matter how much they dress up the park, it will always suffer from having its spatial organization and sightlines defined by the three big airport-hanger like structures of Studios 1, 2 and 3 and the flat Hollywood fronts around ToT (which as I keep saying should have been expanded with proper buildings that have things inside, but...).

 

[Giss Neric]

This looks like a certain bayou adventure ride.

Wow so Disney’s response to Epic Universal and Universal Studios UK = one more spinner in DLP
Marvellous!

I’m disappointed the WORLD PREMIERE opening delayed from Late April to May 15. I will just miss getting to check it out.
