Thread changed. Avoiding numbers altogether. :toast:

Smooth response. 10/10, would let retitle again.

 

[Alicia]

Even I’m backing away from it. My article just calls it Universal Orlando’s new park, and I never mentioned 4th gate once in the text. It was difficult, but I showed restraint!

 

[Mad Dog]

Great. Now we no longer have to understand 'The new math' concept of 2 plus 1 equals 4.

 

[JungleSkip]

So since this is Blue Sky, here's my prediction on how the park will open:

Nintendo:
Mario Kart
Yoshi
Donkey Kong Thrill Ride
Donkey Kong Play Area
Mario Play area
Flat ride or two(?)

Monsters:
E-ticket
Walkthrough

Fantastic Beasts:
Ministry of Magic E-ticket
Second E(?)-ticket
I'm guessing there will be more to this land, but what it could be I couldn't tell you

DreamWorks:
2 Shrek Attractions
HTTYD family thrill ride
HTTYD flat ride(?)
Trolls Boat ride
Trolls Play Area
Kung Fu Panda area from Beijing (still think there's a chance this is the first expansion for the park)

EDIT: I didn't include shows, parades, or meet and greets.

Hmm, proposing two Shrek and two HTTYD attractions? I could see one of those Shreks being a meet and greet.

DreamWorks is going to be a HUGE land. I expect most of the properties represented to have one big ride and a smaller flat ride or something to make up their minilands. I didn't include any meet and greets in my list, just bigger attractions

I think we get a big Shrek dark ride and something like Enchanted Airways or the Puss in Boots coaster from Universal Singapore. And in my dreams we get a HTTYD Flyer attraction.

Please Universal, give me a HTTYD Flyer.

I think that's closer to reality than Blue Sky. I agree with most of it. :thumbsup:

I guess the smaller flat rides barely count as a ride in my eyes (what's Storm Force Accelatron, and where is it?), but if it soaks up some bodies, particularly of the smaller variety, that's all hunky dory for me.

EDIT: I apparently don't even know the real name of Storm Force. It is not Acceleration. The more you know...

That does not seem like much of a family ride.

Well, it wouldn't have any inversions and wouldn't go too fast.

 

[Imperius]

Oooo my turn

SNW:

DK coaster
Luigi’s Mansion Shooter

Classic Monsters
Dark ride through settings of each monster. Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster, creature from black lagoon, phantom, invisible man, mummy

Dracula’s castle walkthrough. Not a year round haunted house, but more of a show.


Hub
Still think a large futuristic travel agency with ports to the worlds. Possible indoor rocket coaster here with sets of each world in the ride as a preview.

Will see flats and other meet and greets also.

The most exciting thing about this thread this morning is the consensus that Shrek is going to be in the park, which would imply that 4D is finally on its way out at USF.

I think we end up with the DreamWorks theater in USF before long. Which is a bummer since it's another stationary show in that area of the park, but is a clear upgrade to Shrek

 

[Imperius]

I mean Dreamworks theater is great for parks. Just not a park with Minions and Fallon all within 100 feet.

Yea, but I think it's gonna happen

I really hope not. The front of the park desperately needs a dark ride.

It also doesn't make a ton of sense to bring in the DreamWorks Theater when you're building a new park with an entire, gigantic DreamWorks area. I'm not saying Universal wouldn't do it, but I think it would be illogical and short-sighted.

 

[Imperius]

Of course. Would prefer the theater in the new park honestly due to those properties being there. Just have it as a central piece outside each land.

Illogical and short sighted. Isn’t that their current motto? I kid, I kid.
