Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

Not anymore, apparently.

If this is true than goodbye JP in IOA.

 

[WebHead1138]

I mean neither of those present good theme park material like Nintendo. Not many video games are good enough for immersive theme park lands.

I disagree. Sonic has enough for a land.

I mean, would it really be going away, if Jurassic in general wasn't leaving IOA?

I disagree. Sonic has enough for a land.

Let me ask this, how in the six Chaos Emeralds would a Sonic based land even work?

It wouldn’t. Sonic really is generational like most Nintendo IPs. It’s not really popular any more and even most big time games just don’t care about it. The last time I played a sonic game was probably 15 years ago. Compare that to me buying Mario Kart every time, every Pokémon game, Super Smash.

Just for perspective, I'm thinking that each of the "Worlds" will be around, or probably a little smaller, than both SNW and Hogsmeade at USJ combined.

Oh yeah? This is the same company that made an entire water ride on Dudley. When was the last time you watched a Dudley cartoon?

JP and JW are separate IPs. So by replacing one your losing the other.

Look at toon lagoon. Anything is possible.

They made the ride back in the 90s.

I’m aware

 

[Magic-Man]

I’m aware

If IOA was built this year, Popeye, Dudley, or the entirety of Toon Lagoon wouldn't be in the park. I hope you realize that.

Obviously

 

[Magic-Man]

Then why are you asking for Sonic, and using Dudley as a comparison? It makes no sense.

 

[WebHead1138]

Because someone asked me how they would do that now. I said look at Toon Lagoon as inspiration. I never once said they would do that. Only that it can be done.

Also, it does make sense anyway. Universal would never use an IP today that would never sell a ton of merch? Oh really? Looks at Fallon.

 

[WebHead1138]

I’m pretty sure Sonic merch would sell better than Fallon or F&F. Lol

They didn't have to get licensing for Fallon.

JW could be in The World of Monsters. Just sayin'.

 

[Magic-Man]

Ehhh, I'm doubting it now. That'd be kind of weird.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

So, you want to compare an IP that has an walking identity crisis..to Toon Lagoon, which was developed in the 90's.

I don’t think it’s that weird.

From my article a few months ago:

Rather than devote an entire "world" of the new park to this franchise, it's possible that the Jurassic World attractions could be part of a larger "world" itself, either focused on Sci-Fi or Monsters. After all, the Indominus rex hybrid creature acts more like a monster than a regular dinosaur.​

Sure, but the JW creatures don't really mix with the Classic Monsters. One's a dinosaur, the others are more humanoid. If they were to do Jurassic World in this park, I'd rather them go all in on it. Otherwise, give the space to the others.
