Personally I'm hoping for an Ed (1996) meet and greet experience, featuring an actual minor-league/ baseball-playing chimpanzee.
Well, when insiders name drop Tokyo DisneySEA as their goal for the park but then it doesn’t turn out that way can you expect anything less?And people are going to be disappointed by the park. Not because it will be bad, but because everyone will expect it to be something other than what it is:
A Universal theme park

*Unthemed coasters.I think this is likely. The IPs are going to be standard. Nothing shocking. But the park is still going to be really good, I think.
I would expect it to be largely that.
But I would also expect things like a coaster or two, which people don't like around here for whatever reason.
I'd also say the same about the attraction offerings at large. This is still Universal. I expect much less screen use, but I still expect most of the attractions to be faster paced, and very few slower dark rides.
All I’m saying is it could be confusing if on one hand they say DisneySEA and then on the other essentially say “it’s a Universal Park. If you’re expecting more you’re wrong.”I mean..look at the efforts being done by Universal as of recently, especially with Skull Island, Diagon Alley, and the visuals so-far with Nintendo.
Theme Parks should be fully themed no matter who’s operating them. New Harry Potter coaster, the Mummy, how Donkey Kong sounds to be, etc. should be the goal for coasters.
Yes. Welcome to Universal theme parks.

"Future Universal franchises/movies in the parks" - Doctor DoolittleThere's no way we know each and every IP in this park. And Universal said that they'll be using future Universal franchises/movies in the parks. Not to mention that this looks like perfect land material. Who wouldn't want to see it?
That's kind of their whole bit with this park. It may not be across the board, but they're striving for a new level of park-wide immersion.Keeping my fingers crossed for Wizarding world levels of theming here!

And I'll pass on seeing that film in the new park. It doesn't fit where they're going with it.
"It doesn't fit where they're going with it" Ummm, neither does Fantastic Beasts.
"It doesn't fit where they're going with it" Ummm, neither does Fantastic Beasts.
How does Fantastic Beasts not fit with the direction they seem to be going towards for the new park?!
...it doesn't?
Why doesn't Mortal Engines fit with the direction they're going in? If Mortal Engines doesn't fit (I'm assuming because of the urban environment) than FB doesn't either.

Mortal Engines is a dystopian hell-scape where metropolis's are literally devouring smaller cities for resources. Conversely -Why doesn't Mortal Engines fit with the direction they're going in? If Mortal Engines doesn't fit (I'm assuming because of the urban environment) than FB doesn't either.

Nintendo - Whimsical/safe fantasy
DreamWorks - Whimsical/safe fantasy
Fantastic Beasts - Fantastical/Magical
Classic Monsters - Safe Scary/Fantastical
RPO - Technology-based fantasy
Doolittle - Fantastical
See the difference? People are ignoring the context of the word "Fantastic." It's fantasy. It's fun.
Idk, my Ed prediction is PRETTY bold.Bold prediction:
Most people don’t know what a bold prediction is.
Ah, but it wasn't a prediction. You only said that you were hoping for it, not predicting or expecting it. Therefore, while it was bold, it did not fit the criteria of a "bold prediction".Idk, my Ed prediction is PRETTY bold.
