The remaining Universal Creative people working on Orlando’s third park were laid off yesterday. All construction has halted out there, some under performing attractions will be temporarily closing in the other two parks, and this is the plan being considered as of now according to multiple people

If this is true, then once again USH gets the short end of the stick. SNW is what the park really needed to feel like more than a much smaller version of USF.
I am guessing they are going to put SNW in the KidZone area again since Epic Universe construction has been halted.

Wait so Epic Universe is cancelled? Or just paused?

Its likely some version will be built eventually. How much it looks like the plans - who knows. But Universal/Comcast have always wanted this to be the "crown jewel" park, as it's the first US park designed and opened entirely under Comcast.

I feel like Nintendo is very much needed at the studios park. It’s unlikely we get a Kidzone replacement within a decade if Epic Universe were to open. Nintendo could really make this park fantastic again. As it stands the front is screen city, and everything to the right of Men in Black is pretty boring (Not been to see Bourne yet)
if Epic Universe were to go ahead still there’ll be a massive rethink. If the next Fantastic Beasts film is as poor as the last one, I don’t know if they‘ll go down that route. And how do you find an anchor to replace Nintendo? More Nintendo? Seems pretty weak.

When it is built, it'll look different than before. That might be a good thing though.

Cough syrup?What is in this drink? Is it non-alcoholic? Is it any good?
>>And of course, no visit to Springfield would be complete without indulging in a Flaming Moe, the bubbling, citrusy, non-alcoholic concoction. It’s the hottest drink in town. <<

Sorry if this has been talked about before but it's being said that there are gonna be quite a few changes to Jurassic World when it reopens. Predator Cove seems to be getting enhancements with a shattered/smoking Gyrosphere and the return of the two Compys fighting over the popcorn container (visible through drone footage of the park).
In addition, it sounds like the finally completed, proper Indominus Rex may have just landed in the park and that former one used in the finale (B-Mode Indo) is going to be utilized in Predator Cove as well. Supposedly it will be in the former spitting Dilophosaurus location (original JP attraction) on the right hand side just before heading up the lift hill. Currently in this area there are some simple T-Rex Kingdom graphics but eagle-eyed Guests have noticed air pressure fixtures located in this zone behind these graphics (where the Indo will go) so it would seem this "B-Mode" Indo may have always been intended for this area but when they couldn't get the true finale animatronic finished on time, they hastily threw the Predator Cove one into the final scene.
Until now. Hopefully. Looking forward to the re-opening of this attraction/park and happy to hear them using this park closure time to listen to Guest feedback about the underwhelming Predator Cove portion.

This sounds like it will greatly improve the attraction. I'm not a fan of the screen tunnel at the start, but this will greatly improve Predator Cove and the finale.

Are they going to kill Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill off so Bryce Howard can become a Jedi and take on their name?
