I love Flying Dinosaur, but they better not give HTTYD a clone of it.

Yeah HTTYD isn’t getting a giant steel coaster.

I think it would be a mistake. The franchise is enjoyed by all ages and audiences and needs to accommodate that demographic as best as they can.

It’s a younger aged IP. Why waste a beautiful environtment franchise on a giant steel coaster that’s gonna have a 50+ height requirement? Makes no sense.
They are saving the Giga Coaster for Hello Kitty Land.
You do realize that Nintendo is a far more kid-friendly concept than Fantastic Beasts would be, right?
Because HTTYD is a kids IP for the most part. A 52-78" height restricted coaster seems to be the antithesis of what the IP calls for in terms of it's audience. HTTYD calls for something far more along the lines of Slinky Dog if it were to get a coaster.

I’m pretty sure this park is going to be a bunch of Diagon/Pandora themed worlds. The Island of Berk isn’t going to have some massive steel hanging all over it.

Of course. But it’s kid friendly stuff that I’m still gonna freak out about and knock kids over to get to. :tease:

I know that the talk has been about "worlds" comprised of multiple different "lands", at least for Deamworks and Nintendo. Are all of these "lands" likely to similar in size to Kong- one major ride and possibly a restaurant or shop - or might some of the Dreamworks properties get lands larger than that?
I believe all the DW properties will get more than that. The only property than seems to be a normal “land” is Monsters

I’m thinking more Hogsmeade and less Kong. 2-3 attractions experiences per world.
I hope so, I personally find it is a tad sad if a land only has one attraction, which is why (for instance) I wish Diagon Alley/London would have another attraction (I don't count the Hogward's Express as a proper attraction belonging to the land). King, well, I don't consider that a land, but just an attraction between two lands.

I’m sure some lands with have a D or E then like a show or flat ride with food and that’s it. Just think they are going to have each land fully immersive so a single ride probably isn’t enough.
