I believe it was originally designed to be if they couldn't get Potter, and if Van Helsing was a success. However, I could be wrong about that one.
It was designed as a Van Helsing ride if the movie was a success, and was repourposed into FJ once they got Potter
Crap. I wouldn’t mind seeing a Forbidden Journey clone, but there’s no way that happens.
Yeah, what they said haha...It was a cool concept, and allegedly came close to happening....An adapted version would be pretty slick though
Van Helsing is a part of the 'monster fiction'
It’s really a shame that the Percy Jackson movie series never took off. Could’ve made for a great water ride.

The John Young/Sand Lake interchange is slated to be complete summer next year. I wonder if any other changes will be made in the surrounding areas roadways as a preemptive measure for the foreseeable future park(s).

All of Sand Lake Road from JYP to I-4 is getting re-done. The I-4 interchange with Sand Lake is getting redone sometime after that. The Kirkman/Sand Lake interchange is getting redone with a definite eye to the future theme park coming.
I work in the area, so I see changes happening all the time...and with the I4 Ultimate project going on I knew about the sandlake interchange adjustments, I'm looking more at Universal boulevard and destination parkway area. I would imagine they might consider widening these arteries eventually.
How likely is it that Universal gives HTTYD two rides? There's an insane amount of stuff you can do with that IP.
I think Dave may be referring to an abridged, permanent show, similar to the touring production that occurred with Creature Technologies a few year's back.

I believe Universal Blvd is being looked at being widened to 6 lanes from Sand Lake to where its currently 6 lanes, with the possibility of them being bus only lanes. I know Universal also proposed improvements to the I-Drive/Universal Blvd intersection as part of the hotels project to include textured/colored intersection, like we see on Universal Blvd throughout the north campus and from Pointe Plaza southward. Not sure if they'll add a lane at the same time there, but it would make sense...
Today, I saw 4 of my coworkers cry during the HTTYD: Hidden World trailer...I would highly suggest Universal build a land though I feel it may be a little too late especially now that all the shows and the series will be over.

Nah, it’s not too late. It’s a land with dragons. Doesn’t matter if the movies ended 15 years again.

I almost cried at the trailer. If Uni made Berk at the same level as Diagon, I would cry.
