A single palm tree has been planted in the Universal expansion site (rumored name: Fantastic Worlds). It seems like site work this stage of development is complete, and the palm was planted in a variation of a topping off ceremony.
#AskUniversal This recently planted palm tree in Universal Orlando Resort's south expansion has drawn a lot of attention. Is there a press release about it? Is it center of that property?

We'll use polar coordinates using East as zero degrees.

If that palm tree survives the whole ordeal, that will actually be really cool

Time to start a write in campaign. "Keep the Palm". We may have to grease a few palms to make it happen, but you
have to have priorities and this is one.

An aerial view of a single palm tree planted in what seems to be center of Universal Orlando's expansion property.
At what seems like center of rumored Fantastic Worlds is a single palm tree. Aerial views of Universal Orlando's expansion property.
Aerial views of much of a new Universal resort. Possibly called Fantastic Worlds. 2nd photo is where public records indicate will be parking.
Aerial view where Universal will be building offices and warehouses along Sand Lake Rd. Some UOR resorts seen top center.

They're planting the palm tree now, so that by the time the park is finished, it can be over 100 feet tall!!

When should we expect an official announcement for Universal Orlando’s fourth park around Disney’s D23 expo event or when Star Wars galaxy edge opens both in Florida and California?
Don't expect it to be announced this year. The Star Wars hype would just drown it out instead of vice versa. Universal takes their time with announcements anyway. Everyone with an interest in this subject already knows what they're doing, so they obviously aren't compelled to say anything. The park could be half finished by the time they do.

They’ll wait about a year after Galaxy’s Edge opens to drop the big announcement, that’s my guess. Like a movie villain, they’re letting Disney have their fun now while they plot and wait in the shadows for the perfect time to strike.
But seriously, as for IP’s I’d like to see in this new park, I’d have to say
-Fantastic Beasts/1920’s America (for a third Potter gate- also disconnected from the train aka London)
-Dreamworks Land (Panda, Dragon, Madagascar, maybe Shrek and get rid of Shrek 4D at the Studios)
-No illumination (we have minions in USO and SLOP coming soon in Hollywood which I could see coming to Orlando too)
-Star Trek (sci-fi area)
-Universal Monster World (rumored for Beijing)
-MAYBE Middle Earth (fits with Fantasy theme)
-No Jurassic, keep it at IOA
-Back to the Future DeLorean Rollercoaster (unlikely but I can dream for them to revisit some of their still-popular classic films as they are still exciting IPs, see Kong).
-Maybe somehow make a Scooby or Spongebob ride for a kids area (still have access to HB and Nick, plus theres a new scooby animated film coming out in 2020).
