This is the only answer that's correct.One attraction, two experiences, two coasters
One attraction, two experiences, two coasters
Dueling Dragons was one attraction with 2 separate coasters offering similar experiences. But the key point is that it offered twice the capacity in the high thrill category. Adding back the Potter coaster still doesn't help the lost capacity in the high thrill category. Adding a high thrill coaster will take some of the stress off of Hulk.

It's way too early to tell, but we can hopefully expect the Terminator replacement to open by 2020. I'm still in the 2020 camp for the JW coaster, but there's a lot of variables in play for that.Hm, early 2021. Should we expect anything new at the resort then for 2020? Sorry if the has been discussed endlessly here, if someone wants to direct me to a better thread thats fine!
Here's what some (including TPU) have as the rumored/projected timeline:Hm, early 2021. Should we expect anything new at the resort then for 2020? Sorry if the has been discussed endlessly here, if someone wants to direct me to a better thread thats fine!
Rumors (including from TPU) have the (rumored/projected) timeline as:
It was previously rumored that Bourne would open 2019 and JP Coaster for 2020, so if TPU is correct then things are getting delayed a bit while Universal possibly focuses their efforts on Fantastic Worlds (estimated/rumored around 2023 or later). Of course, I and others hope that they are wrong.
- Hagrid - 2019
- Bourne (T2 replacement) - 2020
- JP Coaster - 2021.
Other projects which may be purely speculation or based on rumor (remember, nothing confirmed), includes the following:
Keep in mind... there was an "Amber Minecart" ride speculated for Jurassic Park (IOA) rumored/speculated for years (decades?). It would have been located exactly where we're getting the rumored high-speed raptor themed coaster.
- Jurassic World revamping the Jurassic Park River Adventure ride in Orlando - Some say that if the revamp in Hollywood is successful, Uni may bring it to Orlando.
- Secret Lives of Pets - Similar to the above... some speculate that Orlando will get a clone of the USH attraction, depending on how well received in Hollywood it is. Some speculate it would replace Shrek. Earlier rumors/speculation had this replacing the Toon Lagoon Amphitheater.
- Volcano Bay expansion - There's a spot of land attached to VB which is speculated to be set aside for future expansion. It's possible we could see movement in the near future.
- Pokemon replacing KidZone - it had been rumored that the KZ construction would begin earlier this year for a Pokemon replacement... that obviously didn't happen. TPU is suggesting 'Pokemon and Zelda are cancelled' essentially (keep in mind, they were never confirmed), while others are suggesting they are just delayed/shelved for the time being.
- Zelda replacing LC - See above. While this had never been rumored to begin any time soon, there is speculation that this is now being delayed even further out on the timeline (e.g., FW first, Pokemon after, Zelda after).
- Ministry of Magic - Some speculated that MOM would replace Fear Factor. The speculation has died down heavily and almost no one is claiming this is possible for USF in the near future. (Some speculate it will be coming to FW instead.)

I'm so annoyed the Bourne thing won't open this year.
