Other than JungleSkip, who else is ruling out Pokemon?

NVM, found it.

Oh well.

I mean we’re still not 100% sure what that 5 tweet meant. Could also just mean HTTYD and Trolls as two worlds.

I have no thoughts on Pokemon specifically, but I'm still guessing only 4 IP worlds + Hub so if Pokemon is coming then something else probably got cut.

I’m with @Andy. 5 worlds and a hub

I wonder if they'll announce that fifth land tomorrow (assuming that it's a surprise IP, of course).

 

[Imperius]

So it really just depends on what a World is. Dreamworks May have a world consisting of Trolls and HTTYD. Really think it’s just HTTYD though. So we must have some new IP and may be the reason for the early announcement. Maybe it is a Nickelodeon world with SpongeBob and maybe Reptar land. Highly unlikely.

Really hoping for a sci-fi land with Godzilla. With Toho super happy about the movies and continuing they agreement maybe they wanted to delve into theme parks in America too.

Whatever world 5 is, I’m not expecting a world-beater IP

Fast & Furious

don't make us...

I used the upwards optimistic figure relying on the info from a couple of insiders that Potter would be one of the 5 lands in the new park. If that Potter info is incorrect, I doubt if they'd reach 10 million, even with a Nintendo land. Potter people will come.

This answer to a projected attendance question ,was posted on this thread in June 2018. Our private info, from 2 key insiders, one of who is from the UK (hint), was 5 lands, hub/spoke style. For some reason, word spread around for 4 lands. So, IU had the 5 lands concept first....I guess the future will tell But our original info was 5 lands, not 4. Keeping fingers crossed it's 5.

@Alicia

I said Pokemon doesn't look to be there on opening day. But I bet it goes to the new park rather than KidZone if and when it gets greenlit.... later.

 

[Dhdhddh]

If it’s not Pokémon, my out-of-left-field prediction is Waterworld since it’s an IP they own and an attraction they can replicate.

 

[Alicia]

I only know of 4 worlds, plus hub, and something connected to the hub... I guess I wasn't classifying that as a land, but it could be, sorta. I guess.

I mean 4 + 1 equals 5 soooooooo

Here’s hoping for an original ride in the hub or entry.
