Possibly elsewhere.What about a Lord of the Rings land?

If Universal gets the rights to Lord of the Rings, there will not be any Lord of the Ring attractions in Florida. I am saying that because it is rumored that Lord of the Rings would be one the lands in their far future UK theme park.What about a Lord of the Rings land?

This assumes Universal has such a say.I don't care how badly the Brits wish for exclusivity, I guarantee that would never stand. Not with an IP that popular. Could a hypothetical British park be the first to get LOTR? Sure. Would it be the only park to get it? Absolutely not. Under no circumstances does Univeral buy the park rights to an IP like LOTR and then just stick it in a field in the middle of England & call it a day.
Do you mean that you guarantee Universal wouldn't sign a deal for LOTR theme park rights if it was just for the UK/Europe? Universal can't exactly force the people who currently hold the rights to allow them to use it in Florida and elsewhere or just go ahead and use the IP however they want, so if UK exclusivity is the deal then that's the deal.I don't care how badly the Brits wish for exclusivity, I guarantee that would never stand.

UniGB won't be getting any clones from Orlando. But Orlando will most likely be getting a clone from UniGB.
Let's say LotR is one of the opening "Lands" in UGB in 2030. Osaka in 2032-3. And Orlando in 2035 for Epic's 10 year Anniversary. Because LotR being in UGB for 5 years before it opens as one "Land" in the Orlando resort will not really impact Orlando. They will still come for Potter and Palm trees.Under this “mandate” theory:
I don’t see how, if true, such chronology changes anything.
Once both attractions are open why would it matter which was first and which one replicated??

That said, back to Epic.
Where did these come from? It’s unfortunate they didn’t give a good view of the monsters land or WWoHP.
There’s also supposed to be a large indoor show with puppets and special effects based on fantastic beasts. I’d expect it will actually be similar to Diagon Alley in size, as there you don’t enter the train from inside the land. The only problem I could see it having is that Diagon is iconic, and magical Paris seems like it would be pleasant, but not really ultimate wish-fulfillment.Do we have any idea what is going to be in the HP area beyond the single attraction?
I'm sure there will be a couple of shops etc. but even in that model it kind of looks like you would go there for the ride and that's basically it.
Agreed-it seems like it will be more of a France replica with some wizarding world touches unlike the other two WW's which are straight replicas from the movies. But it will still be cool and I am guessing the cue for the ministry ride will be the ministry itself which should be fantastic.There’s also supposed to be a large indoor show with puppets and special effects based on fantastic beasts.

It is from a movie, just not a good one.Agreed-it seems like it will be more of a France replica with some wizarding world touches unlike the other two WW's which are straight replicas from the movies.
