So @Brian G. says in the Ministry of Magic thread there's no Potter (including Fantastic Beasts) in Park 3, so take that one off the speculation list.
I'm hoping they have a long term strategy of driving a bunch of these skeevy businesses out of the I-Drive district and spearheading an effort to bring some placemaking to the area, bring it up to the quality of International Drive south of Sand Lake.
I would assume so. I also think direct purchases will be a part of the equation after Universal's south resort is completely built over the next 20 years.I'm hoping they have a long term strategy of driving a bunch of these skeevy businesses out of the I-Drive district and spearheading an effort to bring some placemaking to the area, bring it up to the quality of International Drive south of Sand Lake.
Is it possible that they could move Jurassic (World) to the new park and close Jurassic (Park) at IOA to make room for new additions there?
I would love to see the World of Stephen King at the new park. There are so many stories & characters that they could draw from. Maybe have a New England section which could include Stephen King & a new Jaws ride!
Makes sense, but I don't think Universal is in any hurry to use this area. As attendance grows expansion plots like this will be important.With the new land acquisition and plans relocating backlot services, the large area in the northeast corner of US that looks like a junkyard should be freed up for new attractions?

Was just thinking that maybe that's why they have not ripped out kidzone, yet....Makes sense, but I don't think Universal is in any hurry to use this area. As attendance grows expansion plots like this will be important.
Universal has been changing their plans quite a bit as of late. There's always a possibility they decided to keep KidZone and use that expansion plot. Haven't heard anything about it though.Was just thinking that maybe that's why they have not ripped out kidzone, yet....
No, not at all. Just stating a fact.For now.
Is that a hint?
As my nephew likes to say, true that.No, not at all. Just stating a fact.
Yeah?LOTR. Take that to the bank.
They own that and are showing projection mapping is another specialty. I do think Universal can do the mapping but if they went another direction (lasers?) I think they could carve out their own space. Fireworks are cool but a real pain to implement.
Like Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway.The next phase of innovation with projection mapping is moving 3d surfaces, and not many, if any are doing that on a large scale.

With the Tolkien estate (now thankfully rid of Chris Tolkien) is taking bucks from Amazon for a mini series based on supplemental material from LoTR, I can't imagine them passing up a theme park opportunityYeah?
I'll hold on to my cash for now.
The only issue I could see stopping this would be money. The price of TV rights was astronomical but that was due mainly to a bidding war.With the Tolkien estate (now thankfully rid of Chris Tolkien) is taking bucks from Amazon for a mini series based on supplemental material from LoTR, I can't imagine them passing up a theme park opportunity
And Tolkien hated Disney. It is the best IP going. Uni needs to close the deal if they haven't already.
