I’m a Star Wars fan from the beginning and excited about the new land. I will have to wait and how this universe that we aren’t familiar with plays out. I have never to Universal. I’ve heard the Potter stuff is great and really enjoyed the movies. I think I most excited about the possibilities of what they can bring to the parks with Nintendo. There are so many popular characters that they can use. Very excited. Also, I wish for a Godzilla Vs. Kong attraction.
had considered mocking their integrity, but...
even then, i'd be surprised if the print doesn't come with sample drool
Rather than having trolled away a member and patting yourself on the back over it, you simply could've not opened his threads.
The insiders on Orlando United all say so and I’m the only one calling on the BS of how long we’ll have to wait. Everyone else just laps it up.
Besides being a new Universal park, not really.Well, take comfort in the fact that you still will likely see it sooner than if Disney had gotten the license.
Don't want to derail further too much here - but do we know anything about what this new park is?
There was this whole “SNW is our counter punch to GE and WDW 50” narrative that works better than “third gate, ASAP!” A SNW for a Studios Park is going up right now in Osaka, with a show building now enclosed. It’s hard to believe that they’re going to abandon all that work to keep USO relevant in service of the next gate, which still has plenty of IP to draw from.
It's amusing how Uni fans used to make fun of the time it took for Pandora to go from announcement to opening, yet here we are three years after the Nintendo announcement and we still have zero details about what's happening in Orlando. At least with Pandora we knew what theme park it was going in from the start.
I don’t think it’ll end up half built but it is upsetting if they’re holding Mario back for it. Apparently the rush is because they didn’t expect to have all the land they wanted so soon. They thought it would take longer.
Gate three being a half day park seems unlikely. Rather, my concern stems from Disney’s inability to properly invest in their other parks after DAK opened in 98 through to today. USF and IoA had pretty good roadmaps for major additions like Super Nintendo World to prepare those parks for gate three and avoid cannibalization. By pushing gate three forward, I’m concerned projects like SNW being pushed to gate three will mean USF and IoA won’t see the levels of investment needed to keep them from falling behind. The MK as main park came from failure to properly invest in the other gates and the loss of offerings/capacity at Epcot and MGM. UNI north parks can’t become a one day deal for guests. UNI needs to make the case that you need three days minimum at USO and evenly distributed quality product is the best approach.
Yeah I’m not reading of any significant land additions aside from that constantly brought up Ministry of Magic. Since the park’s coming sooner than expected they probably are saving most of the good stuff. Past the Harry Potter coaster the things I’ve seen discussed are a JP coaster and a Jason Bourne action/stunt show replacing T2.
Jurassic Park desperately needs a third offering. I was there in November, and it was too cold to ride the River Adventure, and we’re all adults so we couldn’t ride the Pteradactyls. Plus, the Raptor Encounter was on a 15 minute or so break. I don’t think a coaster is needed, but if they could fit a dark ride in there, that would be preferred
Or Seuss for that matter.
Precisely - but it's still not him that is "well-known". Let's put it this way - if he wants a good table at a restaurant, he has to ask someone else to call for him.
There is also a big refurb for JPRA that’s been rumored forever.
