The only reason I mentioned it was Alicia Stella’s video recently about it. Maybe I missed the part where she said it’s not happening. Hopefully it doesn’t as it seems like it would make the park a nightmare.

Too much money lost for it to. Not totally unlike the reason for ticket books no longer being viable.

Ticket books are still viable. They just call it Genie + now and still make you pay for it on top of the ticket price
Difference there is you also paid full admission even if you had no interest I'm the land you stand in or attraction you walk by.Ticket books are still viable. They just call it Genie + now and still make you pay for it on top of the ticket price

Aerial look at the portal of Dark Universe or classic monsters land in Epic Universe. Arrows at what seem to be reference models for the painting of rocks and tree roots. Many tree roots seen at right.

For Disney genie Plus yes. For open hub It would have been paid per land. That is why an add on priority works, and why a hub per land admission model was not going to be viable.
Celestial main hub and pay to enter spokes was not a good business model was what I was reminding for comparison.

My joke was never about Universal, it was just a dig at Disney.

A lot of people have been comparing HTTYD Land with Toy Story Land, and on paper, (a 2 launch Family Coaster, a flat, and a main attraction, ((TSMM/Dragons theater show)), and multiple dining locations) they seem comparable. But, HTTYD Land will also have EXTENSIVE rock work, large water features, Viking Boats with sails and rigging, and fire. Oh, and a themed play area and a water/boat ride.
Be honest, does Toy Story Land compare?
I am so waiting to compare the facade of the HTTYD land Great Hall restaurant with the facade of the BBQ place in TSL.
The Great Hall awaiting rock work.

Yes, while HTTYD doesn't have the popularity of Toy Story... it will by far be the better land. HTTYD will be what TSL should have been.

Actually 2 launch coaster, theater show, boat ride, flat ride and play area -- which means it already beats TSL
