Which land are you most excited for at Universal's Epic Universe?
For me it's a hard pick. I'm super excited for the whole park! But I would say it's a tie for me between How to Train Your Dragon and Classic Monsters. Dragons is my favorite animated movie franchise besides Toy Story and the best Dreamworks movies. I'm also a big Classic Monsters fan as well. Nintendo and Fantastic Beats will still be awesome, but I'm more excited for the other 2.Which land are you most excited for at Universal's Epic Universe?

I agree it looks awesome. I've always wanted to see the Monsters get a land. It fits in perfectly for a theme park land. I cannot wait to see the kuka arm ride. It sounds amazing.I voted Classic Monsters. I think it will be a unique theme park land in terms of tone.
I agree it's hard to pick. All 4 lands will be great and are fantastic choices. This really seems like this will be Universal's take on Tokyo Disney Sea.I'm actually in a relatively four-way split tie. I get the feeling that theoretically Nintendo and Fantastic Beasts will be the strongest lands due to retail and attractions. Both in terms of being the more known quantities.
But due to the later worldwide buildout in Orlando for Nintendo and the lesser nature of Fantastic Beasts IP - I'd say it's a really equal four way split. The hub-land I guess would be the weakest, but can't fault it for being a hub. I hope it looks a little more foliaged than the purposefully vague concept art.
I honestly have nothing to complain about the nature of their anticipated direction of this park. It's all quite strongly directed and four-quadrant type material. This is my number one or two project (depending on how TDS expansion compares, but it's a bit hard to put a new park and an expansion head to head).
I would not change anything about it at this time, which is rare.
I don't think so from what I remember seeing on the Universal Forums. That might be why the land will be centered around Frankenstein's Monster instead of Dracula because Bela Legosi's estate would not sign off on his likeliness. They might go the Halloween Horror Night route but make them less gory and a bit more family friendly.I wonder if the Classic Monsters likenesses' will resemble the actors that played them, like Bela Legosi and Lon Chaney Jr.?
I have a theory that this is why there will be no Mary Poppins attraction at Epcot. The 2 principal stars will want loadsadough (unlike when they signed off on Great Movie Ride) and an attraction without their likenesses is almost inconceivable.I don't think so from what I remember seeing on the Universal Forums.

Either that or Disney is going to cheap out on the EPCOT overhaul.I have a theory that this is why there will be no Mary Poppins attraction at Epcot.

I do wonder if the new park will be slated for HHN. Has there been any talk of that @Disneyhead'71 ?
The mix of IP's are all very Halloween integrate-able and presumably the park will have some more dead space expansion pads for the next number of years.
