Universal Orlando Resort Expansion (Part 1)

What if the 4th dry park isn't Universal?

No idea what you're getting at with this.

 

[JungleSkip]

Could it be Ferrari World that everyone was talking about before?

Unless Comcast woke up and decided they no longer want to make any money, no.

 

[knoxmyers]

Like a Comcast or NBC specific park? Or partner outside of Comcast ownership (Nickelodeon perhaps???)?

Guys. It’s obviously a takeover of SeaWorld.

What if the 4th dry park isn't Universal?

Considering Universal can't even keep it's plans straight for KidZone- not to mention the 3rd park- I think it's a completely unnecessary and irrelevant talking point- so should be perfect for discussion around here

That said, ya'll feel free to discuss. Talking about something 20 years in the future (if ever) just seems like more of a waste of time than the discussions I normally waste my time with.

Unless Comcast woke up and decided they no longer want to make any money, no.

Which is why his comment is so bizzare. I can't see Uni creating something big at the park that isn't theirs, unless he's hinting at the park not having "Universal's {park name}" on it.

That seems...needlessly complicated, and I'm not sure there's a partner out there that makes sense for a whole park. If they do LOTR I guess it could be "Universal-Warner Brothers Studios" or some weird thing like that, but it still doesn't make logistical/logical sense.

Wait. 4th dry park as in: Not the third one we're discussing now but the possibility of an additional one after the new park opens?

I think Disneyhead is more refering to to the third gate, but is calling it fourth when you consider Volcano Bay.

I think Disneyhead is more refering to to the third gate, but is calling it fourth when you consider Volcano Bay.

But he said "4th *dry* park*', the new park would be the 3rd *dry* park. Volcano Bay is not a dry park.

 

[JungleSkip]

Oh I totally missed the "dry" there. Never mind.

 

[Magic-Man]

My first thought on this is "Wut?"

 

[UniversalRBLX]

So here's a list of possibilities of a 4th 'dry' park Universal would be interested in.

First of all, I don't think Universal would do this unless they receive half the profits, which I still think this is not a possibility because Comcast wants all the $$$.

-Warner Bros: They have a strong relationship and I can see this be an indoor park that's very immersive, possibly a 'deluxe' experience. (Imagine, Uni can have BOTH Marvel and DC.)
-Ferrari World: It seems to be a hit in Spain and Dubai, so why not try it out here? I see it being a very small park with 2 coasters at most, a few race tracks (take Fun Spot out of business, RIP) and some flats.
-Nickelodeon: Indoor park, but more themed than the park at the mall.

In summary, I only see a non-Universal branded park at this site to be indoor. very small and a premium experience.

This doesn't have to do with a dry park but you would think that maybe Uni can lease space to have an Atlantis Water Park & Hotel?

Put me down as not thinking there will ever be a 4th "park". Maybe a small boutique "experience", but my bet for site B is Park 3, Water Park 2, CityWalk 2, and resorts

Ummmmm, what?

Agree 100%.

 

[Magic-Man]

So, basically this new resort will have multiple different companies in the mix? If so, I'm sold.

No. We're getting way ahead of ourselves. Way, way, way ahead of ourselves. The only companies you should be expecting are Universal for the park, and Loews for the hotels.

Might want to give a little more context before this thread explodes to 300 pages in the next hour...

It's been an hour. Now what?
