The south expansion of Universal Orlando just got the green light, there's enough room for 2 theme parks, a water park, a shopping district, and some hotels. (
★ ) ☄
The south expansion may get a custom transportation route between the expansion and the other parks. (

This custom route will not be gondolas. Apparently, the people at Universal laughed at the idea. Though, the transportation type will be very interesting. (

Universal isn't wasting any time for the expansion to get going. (

✕2:
That's coming from other bloggers who were given the press release/concept art with a specific date/time to post it. Pottermore posted it 24 hours earlier than when the bloggers were told too. But seeing as Pottermore is JK Rowling's site, it is more likely they were given an earlier release date/time to drive traffic too her site.

Dino Coaster
More Jurassic Park Coaster news. The ride will be raptor themed. The ride has been flipped flopped quite a bit from being jurrasic park based and jurrasic world based due to the people at universal wanting to initially stick to the book theme of Islands of Adventures. It was decided to make the ride jurrasic world themed due to the book theming already being broken by kong and blue the raptor and the money fallen kingdom got during box office. There is one big element to the ride no one has mentioned yet, but for now it's a secret.
