Exactly my thoughts.
Doesn’t mean I’m saying it’s not what they’re going with, but it’s painfully redundant.

Hmm, ok. That would be interesting. Guess that means Fantastic Worlds won't have a traditional Main Street? I'm interesting to see what Universal creates to tie all these lands together. The teaser logo does have a time traveller/steampunk vibe to it. That would be an interesting art direction to run with.

Not really looking forward to the words “epic” all over the park to be honest. This word actually evokes the opposite response to me since it’s so over used. It’s almost comical at this point,
Can you imagine a napkin that says “epic” on it; or the gift shop bags ? I just think it’s such a silly and lazy way to describe something. If everything is “epic” then what does epic actually stand for? Average?
I think “fantastic” gives it more of an adventurous sound, and kinda of ties into the sci-fi / steam punk vibe they are giving off in this teaser image.

If you don't mind me doing some armchair engineering here, i could see the hub centered around some inventor creating these giant mechanical portals to hop through dimensions and opening them up to the general public.
The shops/restaurants between the portals can be businesses owned by other scientific minds in the inventor's circle who he/she hires to help accommodate the new guests. I think this would work great! Universal proved they could tie a fun narrative around an entire park with Volcano Bay so i hope they do something similar with Fantastic Worlds.

Here is an overexposure so that you can see more detail. I am beginning to think that Alicia is right about it being one of those thingamajiggys.
Or maybe it will contain the eye of Sauron!!!

If we do get LOTR...a Shire area is a no brainer. Not sure what a ride would consist of, but a “brief” “best of” locations from Frodo’s journey would be pretty amazing.
Curious if they would use the new cast from amazon series or the Peter Jackson cast as the character portraits

The Amazon series has nothing to do with the Jackson ones. It’s set thousands of years before.

I know this is probably a joke, but could you imagine if they actually revealed the logo like this, only to have the eye of Sauron pop up in the middle of the presentation? That would be amazing.

:shrug:Hopefully they'll have an official stream at least
Doubt it. They’ll probably just release a PR video through the blog or twitter
Yea, it’s about the Second Age of Middle Earth, while LOTR is set at the end of the Third Age
The hotel is not the icon if that’s what you mean. But it will loom over the park in the back.

Question: If i am to get this right, that the hub for Fantastic Worlds is one long road with a hotel at the very end, does that mean that the article posted by TPU from awhile back about the park's layout and admission system is correct? I thought it was confirmed to be false information.
