Very very interesting.

 

[Magic-Man]

South gate name?

Nope, the permit only applies to a themed area. Not a full theme park.

 

[Ridgepole]

Seems pretty broad to me. If this goes through, and I wanted to open a theme park called Fantastic Worlds I think I would have infringement trouble

‘Universals Fantastic Worlds’ actually goes pretty well for a Park name when compared to Universals Islands of Adventure.
I get the Fantastic Beasts connection, but they could just be getting the permit secured on the down low.

Fun to speculate!

You can bold the other parts too...

But I guess time will tell what this is for.

Universal's Fantastic Worlds is a pretty good name.

 

[Ridgepole]

What grabbed my eye was the plural.

 

[JungleSkip]

Fantastic Worlds definitely isn’t a land name. I’d say it’s possible it’s for the south property, but never forget we all thought Wondersea Island would be VB’s name

 

[AlexanderMBush]

Universal's Fantastic Worlds is a pretty good name.

With context, probably. It gives me the vibe that a large portion will be fantastical and vivid. But on it's own, as a name, I don't get it.

Hopefully, with clarity, it can become better.

 

[UniversalRBLX]

Name seems broad enough to include anything they want.

was trying to think of what is non -fantastical at IOA or USF. Fear Factor, Animal Actors and some of the street shows? But I get what you are saying.

 

[Disneyhead]

Fantastic World was a parade-like performance in USJ in 2007.

 

[Magic-Man]

My question is, how early do permits/trademarks like this start popping up? Isn't it too early?

 

[Scott W.]

Or something like this

Please no trams. Edinburgh has put me off them for life.

This isn't related to Fantastic Beasts.

*Looks at how far back Wondersea was trademarked*

Maybe? Universal filed a bunch of trademarks over the name "Wondersea Island" in February 2015. Volcano Bay opened up in Fall (?) 2016, obviously using a totally different name.

Just barely beat you to it :grin:

I never even knew that got trademarked , I wasn't on the forums at the time. Tbh, I always thought it was a rumored name, or a code name of some sort.

Don't we still have at least four years until this thing opens? That was two years before, this is much longer than that. It's a little odd.

This is why I am happy that we have people like Scott, who can go in and tell off by just the name of who's responsible for what.

Makes me now think that Fantastic Worlds is a name they are floating around.

Wondersea Island, was around MUCH LONGER than 2014
