Bigger picture question here but what are the chances the land stays Jurassic Park themed even though the coaster will be Jurassic World? Something similar to how Blue the raptor exists in JP even though he’s from JW. I know it makes more sense to update the whole area to JW but that would also take a lot more time beyond 2021 if they have to re-theme the land and copy the JW refurb of river adventure from Hollywood. I just think they’re making a mistake re-theming the whole area to JP and it seems like a short sighted move. I am a huge JP fan and also love JW, but JP (much like jaws) is one of Universal’s few IP’s that have the lasting power to be a true classic lasting beyond normal IP lifespan in parks. It’s been 26 years since it was released and is still widely recognized probably even more than other classic IP’s universal has like Jaws, ET, Back to the Future. JW just doesn’t have that lasting power and I feel people already kind of forgot about it after Fallen Kingdom didn’t have as good of reviews as the the first JW. I do wish river adventure could get a refurb of the original ride with new animatronics but don’t think that will happen unless they re-theme. I know we have to wait and see reviews of the JW ride in Hollywood to see what will happen in Orlando but what percent chance do you think we have of keeping the original JP theme in IOA?
