Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

[Alicia]

So I saw something on twitter that I take to mean there could be some sort of announcement of Fantastic Worlds being a thing. Any news on this?

What did you see on Twitter exactly?

This is my gripe against Orlando being so flat. If it had some uneven terrain, some great things could be done with coasters while still keeping them relatively hidden.

That's what I love about Alton Towers...They can't build above the tree line, which forces them to build some of the most innovative coasters around

But it also prevents them from building a lot of rides that other parks get. I think a better example for a park that does the best with its height limit in Phantasialand. God, that park is a masterpiece.

I’m starting to think there won’t be any large-scale outdoor highly visible coasters for the new park. Something like Donkey Kong (or Hagrid) where can’t see it until you’re in front of it maybe. But I think these worlds will be a little more “immersive” and self-contained. IOA is gonna be the giant coasters we can see from the road park (especially after the Jurassic Coaster). This park, probably not so much.

Just a hunch.

Finally someone coming to my side. There isn’t going to be a Hulk like coaster in FW IMO and I stand by that.

Oooh yes, I love Phantasialand and hope to go there someday. Unfortunately, as well all know, Universal isn't blessed with being able to go below ground too much unless they pile on the dirt mounds

Nobody said there was going to be...It all started with "wouldn't it be cool if Universal had...."

This is still a Blue Sky thread ya'll

If they copy a coaster type from Seaworld, I think a flyer is more likely than a hyper.

Haha, I never enjoyed B&M's flying coaster model, I find it a bit too forceful in the wrong areas.

Universal can't build one anyway as there is already one at SeaWorld

To drop an potential @Andy bomb (because he sometimes does things); seems like he might be teasing some Fantastic news for next week [Check the comments]..

I was only expecting one announcement, that being the BGW Intamin. But I swear to God if I go to sleep one night and wake up to find Fantastic Worlds concept art online, I'm never gonna sleep again.

A..thought I have, is if this is them just screwing with Disney; considering a certain land's doing CM preview's next week.

That would be hilarious, not gonna lie. Has anyone gotten any media previews or anything that would suggest an announcement on the horizon?

Ummm...

Hence why I said to check comments..

I'm sure Disney will have a media blitz a few days before the east coast launch of Batuu, but outside of that..Bourne's really the only other major attraction left for Orlando in 2019.

It could be Andy just being Andy, but I am sincerely hoping that they are indeed going public on UFW (even if it's just announcing the name and it existing).

And admittedly, I would find it hilarious, if Universal tried upstaging GE with an intent to express it as a park full of highly immersive environments ala' Diagon.

If it happens, I'm going to scream

Still seems a bit early to me

Could just be the Nintendo world portion.
