That shape matches up nicely with the leaked logo, looks like they just built it up a little more.

Out of curiosity, how long is your typical holiday? We're taking the standard American week-long vacation which makes it hard to cram everything in.
Where is this from??????? Nothing supposed to be announced till Thursday,.

The bottom image? Lots of leaks for this project so far.
The video below puts them all together very nicely!

For trips to Florida its usually two weeks (14 nights). Last trip (October 2016) we managed at least one visit to each of: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Typhoon Lagoon, Disney Springs, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, Discovery Cove, Premium Outlets, Florida Mall.
Most of the Disney parks we do a day and a half, the non-Disney parks its usually one day with a visit to a shopping place after.

Universal didn't do a press conference to announce Hagrid's, so it's highly unlikely they would build so much hype for just another new attraction, like the Jurassic Park coaster or the T2 replacement. If it's NOT the reveal of the new park, this would be seen as a major letdown.
Except this time Disney's CEO wasn't in a meeting years earlier to hear most of Universal's ideas.

Interesting that they’ve made EPIC bold. Epic Worlds is a name that appeared alongside Fantastic Worlds in a survey on park names.

It seems they’ve gone that route. Silly park name but I don’t really care what it’s called if the content rocks my socks off!
I really wish the Disney Vs. Universal argument would stop. It’s a new theme park in Central Florida and we, the visitors, win. I have no problem visiting 7 parks.

It is silly. Maybe they felt Fantastic Worlds is too close to Fantastic Beasts. I read they trademarked Epic Universe, which is even more odd. Haven’t seen anything about Epic Worlds outside the survey.
Anything that brings world class attractions and more competition to Orlando is a win for us.

I REALLY hope they don't go with "Universal's Epic Universe", which is the other Trademark they have outside of FANTASTIC WORLDS

I don't like it basically shares a word with the name of the resort, but I suppose everyone would just call it Epic Universe anyways.
The WORLDS tag just makes too much sense, unless of course they didn't want to repeat the whole "Islands" thing where you know, one of them is an Island and the rest are a Lagoon, a Park, a World, a continent, and a landing.

Looks like a Tweet from Universal, but a Passholder email with the same image just went out too. "Stay Tuned for Something BIG Coming Soon!" was the subject line.
Eisner was with Universal before 1984????? Disney was planning a movie tour attraction for Epcot before MGM.

When all construction is finished:
DHS Major rides:
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster
Toy Story Mania
Slinky Dog Dash
Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway
Star Tours
Rise of the Resistance
Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run
Total: 8
USF Major rides:
Despicable Me Minion Mayhem
Rip Ride Rockit

They're very close, and if we include shows, even closer. DHS will finally be a full day park when everything is complete.

Epic Universe would be better for the entire resort but it’s still ugly and sort of redundant. Referring to one park as their Universe is weird. To me, it implies all of their stuff.

Maybe the new area will be branded "Epic Universe" to differentiate between the existing resort, but the park will be called "Fantastic Worlds"

The are fairly strong rumors a rail connection from the airport to the new area (shared station with this and the convention center) will be announced also.
Same rail going to WDW or not?

You forgot Alien Swirling Saucers, but then again I also forget it exists most of the time.
EDIT: I see you said "major rides" but since the difference between "major" and "all" for DHS is one, I think I can be forgiven.
