I agree, but Universal doesn’t have the expansion land that Disney has. There’s only so much they can do with their current parks, but luckily EU will be built from the ground up.I'd rather Universal focus on the three parks they have. I don't want a WDW situation where they're stretched across too many parks, trying to balance their budget while providing new experiences for each of them. Maybe buy the land as space for hotels and the coasters, then decide at a later date (way after EU has opened) whether the resort can handle a fourth park without cannibalizing guests from the other three.
While this obviously isn’t the end all he all, if by 2030 we hypothetically have Kidzone replaces, Simpson’s and MIB replaces, Mummy replaced, and lord, Id hope Shrek too.
At Islands, I’d expect one of Toon Lagoon or Lost Continent to close by 2030.
At that point, there truly isn’t much expansion room past EU. So, maybe this is more of a 2035 type thing but idk a decade after EU opens assuming tourism hasn’t taken a complete nosedive due to Covid then I could see it. Especially if there’s new transportation like a train or monorail in the City
