Epic Universe Expansion Speculation

[TheUniC6]

That's about the same size of the Ministry building, so it's definitely not for a land.

Oh. My brain fart.

I'd rather have that massive parcel of land earmarked for a new portal be something like LOTR if they can ever procure the rights to it.

If Universal is still hellbent on getting Wicked into the parks, at this rate the only option they have is it to be a Simpsons/Springfield replacement.

That's a year earlier than I think most expected for each of those things. Could they really be that bonkers? This is Universal after all and they do like to move fast when they want to though...

To me, this implies that they have basically been working on the HP attraction behind the scenes for a lot longer than any of us thought.

I would hazard a guess that they started the planning process for the new ride within moments of cancelling the initial French Ministry attraction.

The teams at Creative are always working on their next slate of projects. The fact that leadership pulled the trigger, that's surprising to me.

For real??? I think we were all expecting USF coaster in 27 and Epic Expansion in 28 at the soonest.
