Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

[TommyJK]

I’d honestly be more than happy with 10+ attractions.

I'd bet that's more the likely number of attractions at park open. If I were a betting person I'd guess/break it down something like this:

4 "Worlds", 2 "Lands" per world, each "Land" has it's own main attraction, plus some with an additional secondary smaller attraction (a flat, a walkthrough or whatnot).

So if I had to guess, we're looking at 13ish attractions. Then add a parade here, a show there etc.

Just a guess.

Arbitrarily choosing 14 as the number of significant attractions (so anything above flat ride territory), here's what I'd like to see:

5x dark rides
2x family coasters (at least one elaborately themed on the level of Hagrid, Everest, Big Thunder, etc.)
2x thrill rides that defy easy classification (or combos of dark ride/coaster/simulator/drop tower)
1x water ride (could also double as a dark ride or thrill ride)
1x major live show spectacular
1x animatronics stage show
1x elaborate walk-through experience with impressive effects
1x pure simulator

Wow the universal classic monsters land looks so awesome!!!

I mean, it was a leaked photo of a page that doesn't show the image to the best quality..

That said, it is fascinating to see Dracula's Castle (as I can guess), colorized. Definitely strange, in the best way's.

Yeah, I can buy that.

Don't know if I'm a little late to the Classic Monsters Land discussion (Kinda skimmed the last few pages), but I read Legacy's post on how the E-ticket will likely adapt the FJ/KUKA ride system. If it is, will the seating arrangement be similar to FJ's in that it's a "bench", or will they change it up a bit and make the vehicle more like a "car"? I would personally like to see the latter as I would like to see the same ride system done in a different manner. Would rather not see the wheel being re-invented.

Don't know that far.

I'll be honest though, I would love an inverted kuka for HTTYD.

Has anyone heard anything about a Potter themed hotel for the new resort?

For the new resort? No.

According to one of our top Insiders, there was a blue sky concept for a boutique Potter hotel behind Diagon, but it never was greenlit.

Don't understand why they haven't already built one. There have been rumours since Hoggsmead opened. I'm certain it would be a smash hit but is it now a bit late?

 

[Scott W.]

For the new resort? No.

For the current resort? :look:

Mad Dog shedded some light on it.

I thought I read somewhere that JK nixed any plans for a Potter themed hotel.

Same. Then again, Express used to not be a thing in the WWoHP either. Times change.

 

[JungleSkip]

Personally I'm happy there is no Potter hotel. it would be small and ludicrously expensive. I'm good with limiting such exclusionary practices.

I'm sure it's been discussed but I'm curious to know what kind of rides people would like to see in the new park (No theme needed but won't hurt)

1x big coaster (RMC would be the dream)
1x family coaster (Something akin to Mummy or Hagrid)
1x kid coaster
1x flume
1x stage show
1x drop ride (Tower of Terror)
1x omnimover
1x 3d theatre (Flight of passage/Jimmy Fallon)
1x play area
2x kid flat rides
Whatever you want to call Mario Kart

I'm not saying everything for day 1 but a park with this much variety would be most welcomed.

1 Thrill Coaster: preferably a large scaled version of Gringotts, aka an SFX coaster.
1 Family-Thrill Coaster: Similar to Hagrid
1 Family Coaster: Something akin to Seven Dwarfs, I think Shrek can fit the bill
1 Drop Ride: If Uni can make a Classic Monsters version of Tower Of Terror that would be great
1 Flume: I would like one similar to Splash Mountain that doesn't get you as wet as Popeye or Dudley
1 Show: A show is needed to get away from the sun and to just relax
1 Omnimover Dark Ride: Every park needs an Omnimover, they are capacity monsters
3 Flats: Something like Dumbo, Tea Cups, and a Carousel
2 Stellar Dark Rides: Something like Radiator Springs (MK), and hopefully something like Rise of the Resistance.
1 Simulator: Hoping it's more like FoP than Simpsons or DMMM.
1 Nighttime Show: Every park needs one.

Are the WoW rumors dead? I know the movie was essentially a flop in North America, but the game is still pretty popular. Maybe this could be the stand-in for a Lord of the Rings fantasy-action area? And it has “World” in its name.
