How could things change if Universal wasn’t the one to scrap the idea? This is pre Nintendo announcement old.

I think it's possible no one knows what they're talking about and they're just throwing things against a wall seeing what will stick.
There are 2 properties, and two properties only that I've heard are stone cold locks for Site B: Nintendo and DreamWorks. I've heard "Oh maybe Classic Monsters", "Oh maybe LOTR", etc. But Outside of Nintendo and DreamWorks, I wouldn't be holding my breath on anything.
Ehhhhhhh. I think it’s a property with a dwindling fan base. If it does show up I think it’ll only be for one ride, not a land
:agree:
Universal has about another year they could still change their minds on any particular thing going into the new park if they really wanted to.
I think they have a pretty good idea on what's gonna be built. I also think, for the most part, no one knows those plans. So far people have been pretty tight lipped on the whole thing
Not having Star Trek in the new park does make sense in a way. It seems like the park will be based on Kingdoms, and a sci-fi themed land just doesn't fit in with the rest of the rumored IP's.
EDIT: Just gonna post this here, for those of you wondering what DisneySea is like.

I think it has potential for a ride, but it's not a property that I'd want headlining the park.
Star Trek rights are complicated.
CBS owns the original series, the tv rights, and the merchandise rights overall. Viacom/Paramount has the film rights, but then contracts with CBS for the film merchandise rights to characters used.
Thus, CBS has to be involved in any deal that involves merchandise or the original series/tv series. Viacom/Paramount has to be involved if the movie look is used.

They would need to do a Galaxy edge kind of patchwork nonsense land for Star Trek. There are so many incarnation of the series they need to present non in particular and all of them in feeling and architecture. I for one would not like that. Also the thought of seeing overweight tourists in skin tight Star Trek uniforms and plastic ears would make it a year round HHN attraction.
I really hope the rumor of DisneySea being their benchmark for Site B is true. I really do. Then again, it’ll make certain areas of the current parks look dumpy in comparison like the rest of Animal Kingdom vs. DinoLand.
It seems those areas are being rejuvenated before the new park goes online, which will help
Marvel, Toon Lagoon, KidZone, and the front of USF are all getting redone? And replacements for Fear Factor, KidZone, and LC as well?
I understand your point, but KidZone did receive fresh coats of paint in recent months leading into the summer months, and is looking fantastic. If they're not tearing things down, at least they're doing a good job of upkeep.
From the sounds of it yeah
Marvel most likely won't, but I don't think that area is that terrible...Especially to first time guests
