Luigi’s Mansion will probably be the same as DK Country, thematically its own miniland with a warp pipe portal leading from the Super Mario Land courtyard as the only way in or out. If it’s good enough for DK it’s good enough for Luigi.
Of those two options, I think the former is more likely.They should eirher create a loop going from Mario to DK to LM then back to Mario or use Luigi's Mansion as a thematic buffer zone connecting Nintendo and the Dark Universe.
The only thing is, where do they put it? There doesn't seem to be any room for it.Luigi’s Mansion will probably be the same as DK Country, thematically its own miniland with a warp pipe portal leading from the Super Mario Land courtyard as the only way in or out.

The land or the warp pipe? There are several extra openings on bottom level, including a couple on left side of 1-UP Factory, which could lead out to expansion space next door.The only thing is, where do they put it? There doesn't seem to be any room for it.
The warp pipe. I'm a bit confused on the opening though. I thought the area between DK and 1-Up was restrooms and the Yoshi's Adventure ride building, with Pizza Moon directly behind it?The land or the warp pipe?

There’s room behind pizza moon, and there’s an opening left of 1-UP. Actually a couple openings i believe, but one would stay for backstage probably. On right of 1-up is exit out of land with a path to hub, so that next building isn’t very close even when it is next to SNW.The warp pipe. I'm a bit confused on the opening though.

Zelda is rumored for IOA. But maybe depending on scope and plans it could move to EU?Yes, give me Luigi's Mansion please.
And I wonder if Universal is waiting for the live action Zelda movie to come out to decide on plans for that.
This is the only thing that bothers me about EU lol. At the very least I wish there was some type of pathway connecting the 2 lands on each side to one another - but I get that would take away expansion space.Isn’t every land a big dead end anyway? What’s wrong with getting a little dead endier?
IOA is probably where Zelda will end up in the end. Plus considering how the 20 acre expansion pad only has one entry point according to the map @PerceptiveCoot shared, maybe it would be wise to make that a catch all themed land with a variety of IPs.Universal does seem to be flexible with plans, but I think they really want Nintendo represented in each park, just like Potter.
Why do you say that?
That 1 acre expansion could hold either a flying simulator or maybe some sort of Pets like dark ride.
I feel it will never get one or be the last. The never comes from by the time they loop around will the IP be relevant enough to add something? It has the most things to do right now so it needs the least help. HP and Monsters will be after Nintendo. Because HP needs a second ride and monsters will need more family stuff. Another area needs a play area too and my guess is Nintendo will get that. I just think it is lowest priority and I fear it just won't ever happen.I would think that HTTYD has plenty of expansions space. The green area around the drone pad is an expansion plot, but they could always add a bigger show building extending into the current parking area if they really wanted to.

For a lot of reasons, theme park shows don’t generally function well as E-ticket anchor attractions.I think the show is the E-Ticket
