Hi! I'm brand new to the forum and this is my first post and I want to know why you keep arguing with me every time I point out why there won't be a third gate?!!

Hey, are you trying to get some kind of reaction out of us people, having an otherwise serious discussion?

According to multiple insiders (including ThemeParkUniversity and a couple of people over on the InsideUniversal forums) this park will have four "Worlds", each with multiple lands inside of them. Sort of like Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom. SNW, DreamWorks, and Fantastic Beasts are locks, with the Classic Monsters (Dracula, Frankenstein, and others) looking like it'll be the fourth World. RP1, Godzilla, and Doctor Dolittle are also rumored to possibly get rides, but not Worlds.

It's also possible (this is my own assumption) that the hub area could have unique attractions.

I would love to see them do something like this...

Universal recently patented a system similar to Flight of Passage, so I'd expect that to be used on HTTYD.

2022 does not seem possible at this point. 2023 or 2024 seem reasonable if they break ground soon.

I'd really like something new. This seems like IP theft.

I am not sure what you mean, I am pretty sure all this park's attractions are legally licensed.

I am sure they have all their ducks in a row, but the concept seems lifted from FoP. Like ET ripped off PPF.

This ride is nothing like FoP, actually more like ET with some screens.

I thought you were suggesting something similar for the new gate. Nevermind.

Looks very cool, like an ET/Forbidden Journey mash-up. Doesn't look anything like FoP IMO.

Here's the reverse angle view. Universal with it's 2 theme parks + backstage + parking + water park + 6ish resorts = 634 acres (the orange, purple, yellow, grey below).

Plus 42 acres for the two new resorts (green) over the old Wet & Wild: ~42 acres.

Compared to the 1.5k acres of the new land in red.

I don't know, the new area looks smaller from this angle.

Okay, we are all bad people. (Yes, I include myself) You notice at the top of the projection, it clearly states,
"All Content is in Early Development. Do not distribute." Congrats Rebels!

Since my employer blocks Twitter, I can't see any of what is being discussed. Anyone care to provide a description?
