I could see them slightly sanitize it. Less HHN UCM and more theremin and Ed Woods. Maybe with a funny-scary dark ride in Dracula's Castle, a la Haunted Mansion.Completely agree we'd never get any of these. Classic Monsters is a possibility, but the day time crowd might not be the most warmed up to it.
So with the reaveal of Epic Universe Orlando we can now re-speculate on what will happen to the LL! I'm gonna guess we eventually get:
Unless of course they decide to add a second park to Hollywood in which case probably all goes to the new park.
- Classic Monsters Land
- Slimmed down version of Fantastic Beasts / Ministry of Magic Paris
- Slimmed down version of HTTYD
Thoughts?!
The land that is most likely to get cut if the money is tight, is not the most likely land to get cloned.Really? Why?
I'd say Classic Monsters is the most likely personally.
Why is this it's own thread.
The fact that some people are cool with USH tearing down more of its soundstages makes me wonder if they really understand what makes USH unique from other parks.I love a bit of armchair imagineering, but you realise they are halfway through building SNW on the lower lot already yes?
Don't worry, there is still plenty of space for expansion on the LL, they haven't taken out even half the soundstages they plan to yet (over behind Mummy and next to Transformers)

And yes, I'm aware they're making progress with Super Nintendo World. I just don't think it was the best choice given the type of park it is.
Again, they're trying to be like Disney, and they don't have to. They have their own unique identity.

I'm not against theme park expansion. They're expanding, there's nothing I can do about it. But building a Main Street with an Innovation Center is a way better idea than building a Nintendo Land, which just feels like a random add-onHow can anyone be against theme park expansion, especially when this will start to make USH a full day park? They already built new soundstages that replaced the ones they tore down. When they tear more soundstages down for future park expansion, new ones will be built at Park Lake. USH will continue to be unique from other parks.

And that's what sucks about having to appeal to theme park consumers.Except the average guest could care less, especially since most guests will never even get to go through the interior of a working movie studio at USH...

I've never been inside a working soundstage either, but I appreciate what they are and the legacy they have at USH. If they have to go, replace it with something that suitably fits Universal's legacy (Jurassic Park/World is a lasting brand, so an Innovation Center makes more sense).
SNW just seems like an obvious attempt to draw families in and increase ticket sales, which yes I know, that's what they want, I get it. But in the near future, USH may turn into a completely different park, and it won't even look or feel like USH anymore.
If that happens, no one should act surprised.
