Whaat?!?! Don't play around like that
Keep an eye out for big information in regards to this park being publicly announced soon.
My reaction and reply was, "What?!?!?!?, for a Water Park?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?". That's all I can say at this point but it was said as an incredulous exclamation of awe.
Everyone read this over and over... this is exactly how it continues, or may continue to be for a while.
Why would they announce something that might come out in 2017 now when they haven't announced kong and that's next year? I'm a little skeptical but if your right I'll buy you a cokeA lot more people will be put in the loop soon, which will open the flood gates. Heck people reading this fourm know, just not saying anything yet bc they know something is coming very soon.

Partly makes sense, people plan vacations, so if kong opens next year, people might say "let us wait 'till next year"; on the other hand, a waterpark that will open sometime in the future is safer to announce, people usually don't plan several years in advance.
Hmm good points, probably a reason why Disney announced avatar land and Disney springs way too early. I'm still weary on this though because it's still apparently in the concept stage meaning anything can change. Maybe we will just get a name and a year date then they'll hold off until further notice
When they tore down Jaws, they didn't announce a thing for a very long time yet Uni knew why they were tearing it down. There have been concepts for Diagon that have been changed or struck in the past 4 months (i know this) but the overall goal has remained the same.
The title of this thread is going to happen and has been in development for three years. Now we are down to a specific concept, which along with the price tag and scope is being beaten around like a pinata.
I have never heard of such a thing as a destination water park, but this just might be it if the scope survives.
I'm very excited, thanks teebin. If this announcement is coming as soon you both say. Do you think universal will make a giant announcement revealing kong, kidzone and this waterpark after diagon opens? If Disney can reveal tons of new experiences that'll open years later why can't universal?

It definitely should be. Gets people talking and planning vacations for years into the future. I think we (the theme park fans) are the only people that actually know universal is making a ride a year. Most tourist don't really realize it. If universal publicly says in a giant stream "this is what we are doing in the next three years" it'll prompt families to have yearly vacations at universal to experience the new thing. It would be nothing but good for the resortThey certainly can, it's just not their M.O.

Good points, all are profitable in the long runOr they will wait until all the attractions they want to see are open instead of just going one year and then discovering later that there is a massive new attraction they want to see coming so they need to go a second year.

Yeah you are both right. But that leads to the question why would they announce the water park so soon? Maybe because it's in a second resort or because they want to get it out there?Its more profitable to have steady streams of people coming in, like kingcooger said. No matter what, Universal has to pay x amount of employees, have y amount of food onhand, etc. So instead of payong for all these thing each year waiting for one big payoff, the steady stream of crowds each year is definitely the way to go. They learned this the hard way with WWoHP Part 1...once it was announced, people decided to save their IOA vacations for 2010. Their attendance actually dipped before increasing in the wake of Potters success.
could it have anything to do if they need to eliminate something already in the way, like wnw itself?
