“These aren’t local parks” except in several ways they absolutely are. The park is still designed and presented with France in mind, to the point where Disney themselves dropped the “euro” from the parks title entirely. There’s a whole language barrier between the two countries. A park in the UK...

Personally I would consider the UK and France two different markets. They’re relatively close by yes but they’re still two very distinct counties with distinct cultures and public preferences and are different enough that they don’t even have the same official language.

Since this is the land being made very specifically to compete with Epic and also that it’s the one that’s being made “for the fans” I think (or at least hope) that of all the projects this will be the one where some real effort will be put into it.

I have no idea, daredevil Gonzo maybe?

That was mine :) Heard a few whispers that after Dino closes it may get rethemed and moved over to Muppets.

It’s not in the concept art at all, it’s not in the model at the Epic Universe preview center either. The only playground in the park that’s shown is one in How to Train Your Dragon.

I just checked the fly through on the announcement video and the playground isn’t in it.

An important element to remember with the SNW stuff being built right now is that it was designed way back in the 2015-17 timeframe. That’s why the Mario section is more in line with 3D world aesthetically as opposed to say, Odyssey or Wonder. It’s a similar situation with DK in that it was...

If they ever get built :(

I’d heard awhile back that Japan wants something Animal Crossing but I’m not sure if that’s still the case or if it would ever make it over stateside. Maybe in the absolute most earliest of plans (as in back when they were throwing together that big gumbo style land before an official deal was...

I tend to think Epic’s opening will go much better than IOA’s did. Nintendo alone is a bigger draw than anything IOA had at opening and Universal’s parks in terms of awareness and perception are in a much different place today than they were back in 1999. This is also the first major domestic...

Hey at least we’ve seen the same Luigi’s Mansion plans! Haha

We saw two extremely different plans then.

The only wrench that could be thrown in the Creature ride’s chances of happening this decade (aside from Epic being some massive bomb that destroys the parks budgets) is if they opt to give Potter a second ride first instead after adding the Luigi’s Mansion expansion Literally yeah lmao

Yeah, no haha, it’s absolutely still in the plans

No, the ride’s system is similar to Shanghai Pirates, but the overall premise and plot of the ride is essentially what Jaws was with the shark swapped out for Gil Man

The Creature From the Black Lagoon ride that’ll be a Dark Universe expansion in a few years is meant to very much be a spiritual successor to Jaws if that counts

Because Cars was far along in development whereas villains was still in its earlier stages and only just got approved with a specific direction to take the land once Disney realized a certain competitors horror themed land was going to be a hit and villains would serve as a good counter to it.

I don’t know much about the specifics atm, it’s just something I’ve heard thrown around a few times now over the past two days so I thought I’d mention it here just in case.
