Any thoughts about this for the Victorian land @D Hindley ?

Talkin' 'bout park size, and UniSea is definitely nearing its limit - though I imagine in Australia we can be a little less physically restrained. So here's where the park stands now with lands...

(BTW, as for UniSea's actual name, was thinking of something like Universal's Worlds of Wonder - UWOW!)

Victorian London - 3 transport rides to other lands, 1 non-ride, 1 park-wide spectacular
Wells Laboratories - 2 rides, 1 non-ride
Amity Village (miniland) - 1 ride, 1 non-ride
Skull Island - 2 rides, 2 non-rides
Pokémon Land work-in-progress - 3-4 rides, 2-3 non-rides
Hyrule - 3 rides, 3 non-rides
WWOHP Hogsmeade - 3 rides, 1 non-ride
Transylvania - 3-4 rides, 3 non-rides

That's 8 lands, approx. 22 rides, and approx. 38 attractions total. These numbers are just slightly above parks like IOA or TDS, and that's before we even discuss something like a LOTR expansion land.

Going by numbers, and by layout and transitions as I know 'em, I think we could drop Wells Labs (Victorian sci-fi) and/or Amity (Jaws) to pare down and not lose much. Neither land's experiences are as fleshed out as the rest. We lose a coaster and a Spider-Man style dark ride, but both ride types can be reassigned elsewhere.

Unless anyone else is super passionate about those lands. Thoughts?)

I think we should drop Amity and either redevelop Wells Labs some more or keep the Victorian Sci-Fi theme and use some more novels.

Wait 14 Pokemon movies??

No actually I made a mistake and got my info from an outdated source. There are actually 20.

It's not just any hulk - It's a grey hulk.

Hulk not elephant! Hulk just gray!

What about hotels?

I'm thinking an amazing art deco hotel...

Or a boutique Hogwarts hotel where you role play like the Star Wars hotel coming up....

Maybe even a "Toontown" hotel honoring classic Universal Cartoons like Toon Lagoon? Or a Minions hotel?

Fun fact: Hulk was originally intended to be gray, but he Stan Lee had ink problems and had to change him to green.

We actually have the Hogwarts boutique haha -- so at least we are all on the same wavelength

We need some thoughts for value resorts though -- a toon resort could be a way to do that! Any suggestions?

So far (to my knowledge) we have a Hogwarts boutique hotel (as Space already mentioned), a Mediterranean resort, Islar Nublar Margaritaville resort and an Asian resort.

I think minions would be much more of a draw than a Retro cartoon value hotel.... Maybe themed to the third movie's mansion or the suburb?

Hmm...a possibility! Just a large mansion? Maybe it can be themed like Coronado Springs where it has various landscapes with different themes like the suburbs and the mansion?

I was actually going to play this; ; though I didn't know what anyone's reaction would be.
