The Future of Lost Continent (Poseidon Fury closing May 9)

[Magic-Man]

Assuming everything still remaining in Lost Continent was to be demolished, what is the available acreage there for a land?

Around seven or eight, depending on if any backstage areas are used.

A little over 7

Hypothetically..around 7.43 acres.

If they go into the lake, they could expand that amount though.

Could anybody put that into a bit of context for me? What are some similar-sized lands in either Disney or Universal parks?

I guess what I'm really asking is this: is there enough room for multiple major attractions, or would we be likely looking at one headliner and some much smaller stuff?

Hypothetically, it could be a tiny bit larger than Diagon in size, as that's in 7.39 acres

This is around the size of what Super Nintendo World in KidZone would have been.

It's the same size as Diagon Alley/Kings Cross is.

SNW would've been larger than LC, by around .15-.20 or so

 

[Ridgepole]

A football field is 1.1 acres excluding endzones

Oh I guess they just went out and said it , though really they still left us hanging as usual.

I mean, he was pretty adamant that Nintendo moved to Park 3 before the rest of us, so I'm not ready to dismiss it out of hand

yea, he pretty much has said this stuff since last november , and so far, well there certainly isn't an SNW being built in kidzone at the moment . so i'll see how the rest of this pans out, I'm definitely up for more Nintendo than less.

Zelda would be a great addition to IOA, as the Island is in desperate need for a new, E-ticket attraction and it's been barely 20 years since IOA along with the Lost Continent opened lol.

 

[Mike S]

Very subtle.

Didn’t you once say Zelda could come to IoA before Site B opened?

 

[ChrisFL]

This makes the most sense to me....get a Nintendo IP in early while the other park is still being built, replace a land that had a LOT of potential but never fully realized it (outside of Mythos at least).

 

[Disneyhead]

Didn’t you once say Zelda could come to IoA before Site B opened?

Yes.

 

[Mike S]

Yes.

I wonder if all 3 parks could get Nintendo over a 3 year period.

IoA: 2021
Site B: 2022
USF: 2023

Or are only the first 2 plausible?

 

[AlexanderMBush]

Yes.

To add onto Daves comment, I was somewhat hinted towards this possibility back in March. If they'll do it, who knows; but it's been probably considered more than once at this point.

If LC becomes Zelda..considering the scale, I would think they would want to get started after Celebration, considering how that could have an impact for crowd level.

Would that be before or after the new coaster? They could also be waiting for that to open or at least be close to opening.

I would assume if they'd do it after, it would have to be before Potter Coaster opens.

That said, I think it matters more to the sense of scale that this project might be, if they do things on a timetable similar to Diagon or Kong; that's where I think we need to ask about.
