It's pretty obvious that Wicked will find a more permanent (not just Fan Fest/Wicked Experience) attraction at the park. To what scale or where, no clue. But I think Wicked will be a decent family-friendly addition to the parks that, up to this point, tend to be more action-driven then musical/passive, a type of attraction that UOR hasn't really done yet that I think they could benefit from.

He's commenting about how he stirred the pot by bringing up how great a Wicked land would be. He is saying oops.

The trailer for the upcoming "Epic Ride" docuseries has Michelle Yeoh and Jon M. Chu (director of Wicked) both featured in it. Any chance they might be planning to announce the next set of additions to the parks when it's released, whether they're Wicked-related or not?

Usually that is a tease. But if something Wicked related is in development at Universal Creative, the question then becomes if Universal Orlando management wants to add a new portal so soon vs expanding SNW, Monsters, or Potter.

I don't think we're getting any announcements in the documentary.

I don't think we're getting any new "portals" for Epic for a long time.
