Orlando Attractions Magazine: Something coming to Central FL?

[threeyoda]

So a couple minutes ago, Orlando Attractions Magazine posted this on twitter:

We heard a rumor about something very cool coming to one of Central Florida's theme parks. Trying to find out more now.​

Now, I know that there are a lot of theme parks in Central Florida, and Universal has a lot going on right now with new construction and stuff, but I was wondering if anyone on here knows of anything that could relate this to Disney World? Could this be Avatar, a DHS project, or something else?

I don't know how reputable Attractions Magazine is with stuff like this, and that its most likely Universal-related, but could it be for Disney?

I'll bet its Universal..... At this point, that makes the most sense...

Hope it is something with Hollywood Studios

 

[jt04]

Very "cool" huh? Maybe something that brings a cold climate with it. Something to respond to Sea World's Arctic pavillion?

The odds are it is Universal based on the demolishing pictures Miceage has for Universal. There has been weekly new pictures for the last couple weeks at least.

Yeah but that is old news and the OP seems to be hinting this is something entirely new.

I have a new guess, Universal Water Park on their "third park" property.

well Universal is expanding the Harry Potter park to the Universal Studios park.

if that sparks any interests...

Old news in that they've been demolishing for a few weeks, but we still don't know what is going back in its place. We can still get "new" news on this project. My guess is they've heard a hint of what might be going there.

Universal owns Wet N' Wild across the highway

Not a very convienent location for their guests. I have always thought the would eventually build one on their side of I-4 and then repurpose or sell the WnW land.

Whylightbulb and Uni have announced the phase 2 of Potter. Pretty old news around here. Perhaps they have another announcement pending. There have been some indications of that. The Orlando theme park wars are really heating up.

Heres to hoping something for WDW, but I would guess that we would have no such luck.

And when it comes to new exciting projects UNI is beating the snot out of us

OK- I'm trying to stay positive here! It's the beginning of a brand new friendship. J/K
I would hope that it is something for WDW, but it still remains to be seen as in all rumors and such.

It's planned. Matter of time.

Well, something has to go in the Stage 44 spot...
Permanent haunt, Transformers...something.

 

[menamechris]

I know its not - but I would be beyond ecstatic if this was an announcement for something spectacular at Hollywood Studios. Hollywood Studios needs something big more than any other park in Orlando...I am truly convinced the only reason it is not under Universal and IoA in attendance is because of the way Disney's tickets work now and how people vacation at the Disney resort.

Every theme park needs a "haunted" attraction IMO. Why I am especially high on the possibilities of a "Mystic Manor" type add at DAK at some point hopefully.

That is what we want. Seems like they only get serious about major adds at WDW when there is major competition. And if they do not recognize that yet they soon will. Potter 2 raises the bar twice as high as Potter1. Add SW and Legoland and other adds around greater Orlando and the mouse has to respond.

Not really.
