I really hope Universal gets this land. It's fairly close, (close enough for convenient transport even if they can't make a Unirail) and if they don't get it, I imagine the third park dream would be even farther away. If they do get the land, I expect a timeline of about: 2015-17: Slowly...

Oh my god, that would be awesome! Is there any word on if these would go into US/IOA or a third park? I think any 3 of those could work in IOA, and ST/DW could maybe work in US.

I do kind of hope Uni comes up with a way of transportation to the mysterious 3rd/4th gate land and the Volcano Bay area rather then buses. I perfectly understand why they would, but a bus-free close proximity 3 park + 1 water park resort is the dream. Also, is there any word on if they do get...

You guys realize the whole family can ride thrill rides, right? There is 7-8+ year olds who can ride and enjoy big coasters, along with teens/adults. Just saying. :angelic:

I'm placing my bets on a redone second half. In fact, I have a theory that the second half (always considered the weaker portion of the ride) will now get some show elements, if not a full show building. Including possibly an AA Hulk.

Marvel is getting reworked soon, presumably to be based off the MCU. Can't argue with Toon Lagoon, though. It's always been the weakest area in IoA by far IMO. I have a feeling it and Lost Continent are next on the chopping block at IoA. In fact, the two worst themed areas at UOR currently are...

Don't bully the poor guy, he has stage fright! At least when he's tearing up the stage you only see his shadow...

@ People saying that the Muppets is too adult for a theme park land: Wow, imagine how hard it must be to make a successful and popular theme park land based off a TV series with common references to alcohol, sex, and drugs. That would never work. ;)

It HAS been fixed. It was mentioned only two posts up and when I rode it during F&W the doors worked.

Hulk is currently undergoing a lengthy refurbishment, and Distaster is closed permanently now. Twister may or may not be permanently closed by then too. Also, there's rumors of the Simpsons Ride getting some refurbishment, but not much details right now, so I wouldn't be too worried.

All of the Potter lockers (FJ/DC/EfG) are definately the worst and most cramped, I don't understand it. The rest are fine/easy though IMO.

Honestly I think the best plan would be: Mid 2017: Avatar opens Early 2018: Dinosaur closes for extensive 6 month refurbishment. Mid 2018: Dinosaur opens back up with major changes, Everest closes for extensive 6 month refurbishment. Early 2019: Everest reopens, with new functional Yeti...

Not to mention if the outdoor dragon AA breaks down, they practically can't fix it without either hastily fixing it at night or closing down the entire area. The first would be hard and the second would cause a riot.

I can't be the only one who thinks actual AAs of Harry and company would have looked really stupid and bad? Like 99% of celebrity AAs do? IMO that would take me out of the immersion far more then screens do. Not to mention Forbidden Journey at least has AAs of the dragon, spiders, Willow, and...

What about families where everyone is old enough to ride thrill rides and enjoys them? Those certainly exist.

I mean, that's a single attraction at a single park.

I really don't understand why when people say "It would be cool if Disney had more thrill rides!", some Disney fans hear that as "I think Disney should bulldoze their classic attractions and build 300 feet tall bare rollercoasters" and say "Just go to Six Flags!". There's a difference between...

Maybe they want to open both of them at the same time? They'll need everything they can to ease capacity off Frozen.

The contract only counts inside the parks. Which is why they had those Marvel themed monorails (which couldn't go into Epcot, btw) and the Marvel store at DTD.

Thank you! I did go to the parks the day I got my annual pass, so thankfully I will be able to use it today for one last trip.
