Universal Orlando August 1 Press Conference

[fallingends]

My Predictions:

2019: Bourne and Cinematic Celebration holiday overlay
2020: Volcano Bay expansion
2021: Jurassic World overlay for the land and River Adventure and the new coaster
2022: SLOP and parade
2023: Fantastic Worlds with full model of the theme park, concept art, lands announced (Monsters, Fantastic Beasts, Nintendo plus Pokémon, Dreamworks, and hub & icon)

OMG This is SOOOO exciting!!!!

 

[GAcoaster]

I'm sure there will be announcements for new projects coming to the existing property with this announcement. They really don't want people to postpone visits until 2023, and they need to amp up the hype. Just like the additions of Rip Ride Rockit when Hogsmeade was announced and Transformers when Diagon Alley was announced. They want the gravy train to keep rolling the whole time...

 

[Magic-Man]

We're at seven pages already. Jesus!

 

[Imperius]

Has anyone checked on Matt Damon’s flight status?

I’m more interested in Miyamoto’s

 

[AlexanderMBush]

I’m more interested in Miyamoto’s

Similar for me, but with the subject of Doug Bowser and Ishihara's, considering if they are doing a full on blowout of UFW.

 

[Disneyhead]

I would not be surprised if this is just for FW.

 

[Imperius]

What hotel is Alicia talking about?

 

[rastuso]

I would assume the Harry Potter one.

I just hope for background music, and a new special drink that actually tastes good.

 

[belloq87]

Two things I would like to hear at this announcement:

1. Confirmation that the Universal Classic Monsters are still part of the plan.
2. A dark ride will replace a screen-based attraction at USF by 2023.

I’m not expecting to hear either, but they would certainly make my day!

Think so?

Lol there ain’t gonna be a Potter hotel

 

[Imperius]

Guessing a hotel overlooking the park. Probably themed with the IPs of the park.

 

[RFRees]

As much as I love and can't wait for the attractions announcements, I would love them to pay some attention to back of house alongside these announcements... how about building a new Universal HQ. Something state of the art and beautiful to attract and retain the industry's top talent.

That was a mugglemess..

 

[rhino4evr]

So....New benches? Or a CATS themed bathroom?

 

[shiekra38]

I do hope it's more than Nintendo...I know that may sound weird, but we've already seen the leaked art

I want to see Monster Land!!

I think if a second “main” land gets revealed it’s be something like Monsters or Dragons
