I’m scared for the “I CAN SEE EVERYTHING FROM THE YOSHI RIDE” moment that will inevitably come.

As soon as Lord of the Rings will be installed next to Starfall I think Starfall will see a mountain range theming as it would benefit both sides of the coaster. For now the Star will Fall into a nice park. Maybe the trees will get sparkling lights so at least at night it will look the theme.

Why are you scared of someone with no priorities in life?

This is a theme park discussion community. We're allowed to like and not like things, and explain why, and it doesn't mean we have no priorities in our lives in the real world.
You mean a full sized mountain to hide the coaster from both sides? I don't think that's feasible.

Starfall will have a wonderful view of the IKEA sized LotR showbuilding, but I think inside Middle Earth you won't see Starfall.
HTTYD, though.
That said, HTTYD is also going to be the most "traditional theme park" land in the park, so...eh. A massive coaster looming over a highly themed SkyFly? In a land filled with a lot of rock work and water features? It won't really bother me.
I think HTTYD is the most underestimated land as far as visual impact theming. Particularly at night. Walking through the portal to the Lagoon with the statues with fire in their mouths, the boats with sails and rigging, and all the water and rock work is going to be jaw dropping. I think better than the new Frozen land in Hong Kong.

You guys seem pretty convinced that LotR is an imminent expansion. With @Disneyhead 's track record, my bet's been on the books for a good time.

I want Creature from the Black Lagoon first.

I think that ride and the Wizarding World would be some of the first expansions of the park.

I want Creature at opening.

Knowing the history of new parks, I think it might actually be something that addresses an urgent need at the park, like A Bug's Land at DCA or Flying Unicorn at IOA. Though this park is more built out at opening, so that might just mean added restaurants rather than flat rides.
I.e: I wouldn't be surprised if one of the areas with little to do for young ones to get a One Fish, Two Fish or Flying Unicorn.

This. There is a big part of me that wants the Creature Expansion area in Monsters to become “Scooby Doo’s Creepy Carnival” with a couple of small flats and show. It would be tonally appropriate add and actually draw kids through Monsters, which would get families out into an area of the park they could otherwise avoid.

Let Super Mario World and HTTYD service the really young ones. Or add some additional flats to the hub area.
I want a dark boat ride with the Creature, thank you!

You should be jailed for this opinion. Creature boat ride is vastly superior addition than a completely off theme addition that just includes flats
settle down.

Yes, no, maybe… I don’t know. Can you repeat the question?
In all seriousness, there were a couple of concepts posted in some of the earlier pages but there’s no public info as to what Universal might be thinking for this at present.

V.I.P.
Only informed speculation and hopeful (wishful?) thinking at this point.
I know what I'd certainly like to see it involve: basically a longer, spookier Na'vi River Journey, with a trip down a dark jungle river at nighttime, perhaps with some Jungle Cruise/Jaws elements (like a skipper).
