I think LC will be demo'd within a year, and if the new park does include JW as soon as that park opens the current JP will also fall.
It's funny how some people think they are entitled to get information from theme parks just because they do. Announcements come as they come.
The difference between teasers for movies and advertising vacations is that a teaser for a movie coming out next year won't deter anyone from seeing a movie this summer. If you tell people something cool is coming to a theme park next year, it causes a lot of people to postpone their visit until next year.I think you misunderstood. No one thinks they're entitled to information from UOR. The issue is that it is plainly bad business practice to halt all marketing and information regarding future attractions at a time when their most recent attraction was a dud and their competitor is going on an E-ticket frenzy. Building hype isn't just for the folks on this website, it's a necessary business strategy. When a teaser trailer for a new movie is released a year in advance to audiences worldwide, do you think the studio does this because people are entitled or because it's part of an expensive and well-planned marketing initiative?
Thanks for your constant insight and reassurance that development isn’t stopping because of the new park.The difference between teasers for movies and advertising vacations is that a teaser for a movie coming out next year won't deter anyone from seeing a movie this summer.

And concerning attractions after Potter coming to the existing parks. All three parks will get new attractions, that haven't been started yet before Fantastic Worlds opens.

This is another argument that is made often that I don't think holds water to the degree people think. If it did, Disney wouldn't announce their attractions as early as they do (particularly Star Wars). This thinking all stems from 2009 when attendance shrank at the two parks while people waited for Potter but that was a different time under completely different circumstances and it involved an unbelievably popular IP. Prior to Potter, IOA hadn't opened a new E-ticket since park opening and it was an unprecedented addition to the resort. Delaying a family vacation until something on the scale of Potter opened in a park that hadn't offered anything in a decade makes perfect sense. Today, if a family were planning a trip to Universal in 2019 they would have a brand new mega E-ticket to look forward to which was already announced (albeit with almost no details). Postponing a trip beyond 2019 because the park was planning to open new rides in 2020, 2021, or 2022 would be untenable and irrational. The only announcement that makes sense to delay as long as possible would be something on the level of Fantastic Worlds.
The postponement argument also doesn't apply to smaller attractions like the Bourne stunt show which they have still yet to announce. No offense to the people working on that project but no one will be postponing a trip for it. We also have attendance numbers from 2014 through 2017 which pretty clearly shows attendance declines didn't happen despite Fallon, Fast & Furious, and Volcano Bay all being announced years before they opened.
This is great news. I just wish the world and the press new about it.
Can’t wait to go see Sinbad one last time. :topic:Guys.... Sindbad....
Can’t wait to see it bulldozed with the rest of LC for Hyrule :wave:Can’t wait to go see Sinbad one last time. :topic:
Exactly people think it’s some sort of competition between the parks. When in reality Orlando is lucky to have such a vast array of theme parks like Disney,Universal and Seaworld as well as Legoland at their front door. No other area in the country besides Southern California has this amount of theme parks in one metro area.
At Orlando Informer they said not to expect any changes to the building in the foreseeable future. I think he's right.Why, exactly, can they not start Demo of LC after Potter coaster opens? Are we thinking they wouldn't start anything until after the alleged JP coaster is finished? So it could easily be 2021 before they start, right?
SoCal doesn't even get close, even when you add amusement parks. Six Flags, Knotts, DCA, DL, USH, Lego. Orlando is double that.
Clearly Universal's quarterly reports show a very positive growth continuously. Their hotel rooms have a very high occupation rate and guest spending is up. I know it are just the boring facts but I think they are doing a fine job. But I must come clean that I not have a background in marketing nor theme parks and you clearly think you do so tell them they read these forum (if only for a good laugh).I think you misunderstood.
