What Will Be The 3rd Gate's Castle

[Disneyhead'71]

the majority of the slides won't be themed into anything like a mountain or rock, but on a tower.
Compare this to:

This!

Sorry if my Disney bias is showing, but due to the official universal map i have my doubts with the themeing. It might be a fantastic water park but the theming probably won't be on par with the Disney water parks.

I don't believe that the "map" Universal has put out there is supposed to be an accurate park map. It would be like basing an opinion of Typhoon Lagoon/Blizzard Beach based on this map.

Then that is stupidity on Universal's part. Bare structures don't need to be left bare on marketing materials.

I think they just get a kick out of twisting Disney fanbois panties into a tight bunch. Only Disney fanbois are gonna be all, "OMG!!!! I can see water slides in their water park!!! OMG the SUCK!!!"

Everyone else is gonna be all, "Oh look! They are building a water park right next to their hotels!! Awesome!"

That is an even worse reason.

Universal is doing their own thing now, and don't really mind tweaking the noses of the "holier than thou" theme park aficionados.

You are ascribing to them the same "our customers are too stupid to notice" attitude with a heaping dose of pettiness. That's just as dumb as all of the excuses made for Disney.

Like how they clone attractions between resorts?

Ya, we are referencing the fact The Duloc castle has been built in Singapore. That's probably totally obvious to you, but figured some people here wouldn't know. USS is likely the least spoken about Uni/Dis park in these parts.

Will they clone Singapore's Shrek area? Maybe. But if they do, we should at least have a dark ride or something to look forward to. They can't simply move Shrek 4D, which is what exists in Singapore's castle, without raising eyebrows. With that in mind, I think they'd be more likely to build something actually befitting of the grand facade.

I'd like to think they're assuming their customers are intelligent enough to figure out it's an inaccurate, bare bones depiction of the park. Because that's quite clearly what it is.

It is part of the Resort map and intended to build interest. If the desire was the be inaccurate then there is still no reason to include bare slide towers.

I think it's be hilarious if Universal opened a 3rd gate in Oct. 2021 with a tagline, Ride The Castles with 5 castles in the park. Far, Far, Away Castle as the Main Street>Hub/Castle. The Shrek dark ride inside the castle being a boat ride through Shrek's swamp.

Passive aggressive much? Everything about Shrek is aping Disney. Katzenburg would laugh his ___ off.

Actually, the one in USS is Far Far Away Castle from Shrek 2. If we got Dulac from the first it would be original.

And bland.

Oh, fair enough! Ya sorry I retract my statement, they'd never build Dulac castle. Only the Far Far Away one.

I would prefer the swamp for Shrek. Leave the castles to Zelda, LotR, and Dracula/Frankenstein.

What would be hilarious if they use some "fake" Disneyland 60th Small World-esque castle merch that incorporated the 5 castles.
