Or Marvel. There were so many actual projects they threw constantly aside in the last five years that weren’t half hearted simulators.
These are all things that could have come forward when SNW was moved, but haven’t.

And all the Wand Wavers criticized me for dare saying Universal is resting on their laurels before the new park lol

That's exactly what they've been doing. Was F&F necessary? Was Fallon necessary? I'd say no on both. F&F feels like it's coming a couple of years too late but I know it's a massively popular franchise. It's just Kong without the animatronic. I like Kong more than some but F&F doesn't at all excite me.
I'd also rather have Terminator over Bourne. LOL
I get why they likely want Nintendo in a third park but I think Studios could have benefited massively from it. I don't keep up with Uni rumors. What's the spec for Kidzone? Pokemon? Why not Dreamworks properties?

No idea.

Adding ‘new projections for Poseidon’ onto the Uni wishlist. The film quality (plus a villain that reminded me of Manos) is not great.

Better hope my wishlist doesn’t come true then. My wish is that Lost Continent is completely demolished for The Legend of Zelda and there have been rumblings about this being the case.

I wouldn’t hate that.

It’s likely not long for this world. If it does stick around, that building could use a lot more than new projectors. 20 years of water takes a toll.

Is Berk still a thing for that area?

Not from what I’ve read.
Also @Disneyhead'71 dropped a date: 10/1/22
I’ll let him provide the context. No way that’s for the new park.

Or note, that is lacking a lot of the additional effects such as the 360 degree Projection mapping and the transformations of the floats.

JW basically handed them what is perhaps the coolest ride concept they could ever get in the gyrosphere attraction - it just screams out to be used. I mean, dinosaurs trying to eat you as you fly around in one - never was a more sure fire hit than that.

Pity, that. The Berk/ how to train your dragon Vikings concept has a lot of potential, and other parks in the world have done some really neat things with it. I do understand not wanting to bring it to Islands in particular, since you would have significant subject matter and overall concept overlap with the various Potter offerings.

Speaking of Poseidon’s Fury, does anyone know if Universal ever publicly used the Journey to Atlantis name before SeaWorld opened their own attraction with that name?

Hyrule > Berk
Not in my mind; I'm still not that excited about the concept of Nintendo-based theme park attractions, if only because each iteration of Nintendo's worlds is so vastly different from the one that came before it. This is excellent for video gamers, but not so great for the world of steel and concrete.

That's actually a valid point. I could see them going a Mario Kart 8/Hyrule Warriors route for a theme park Hyrule though: Not necessarily tied to any specific incarnation of Hyrule but more of a composite setting. Though geography wise, take cues from Ocarina where Hyrule Castle/Castle Town and Kakariko/Death Mountain are right next door to each other.
