Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

[amityboattours]

Hell, i'd love to see a The Last of Us house at HHN.

This won't be needed for at least the next 5 years. If people want to see a vacant, desolate, torn-up wasteland in Orlando right now, they'll just head over to Hollywood Studios

Neil Druckmann would be a waste of talent to put on a Crash game too.

I can't see them doing it either. I wouldn't be sad if it happened but they've had such a good track record over the past decade that I want to see something new.

Since people think Universal needs more AAs in their park why not make Westworld

So it seems Spielberg has some theme park attraction projects lined up.....outside of Jurassic World, I wonder what they might be.

With his latest movie, The BFG opening July 1, Spielberg is prepping Ready Player One; the Warners thriller is scheduled to open in March 2018. Before that, he expects to finish Edgardo Mortara, set for release through Universal in November 2017. With Amblin Partners freshly financed by Jeff Skoll's Participant Media, Reliance and Entertainment One, Spielberg is in the rare position to greenlight his own midbudget adult historical drama. He has other films on the runway, and there's more — TV shows, theme park attractions, philanthropic projects, consulting on a virtual-reality venture. Spielberg remains a genius-level multitasker.

The BFG is being released by Disney but I am wondering just how involved with Universal Parks & Resorts Spielberg is anymore now that Comcast has taken over. I think he was very onboard when they were owned by MCA but I'm not so sure anymore. I may be wrong though.

He still collects 2 percent of all ticket revenue at the Universal theme parks as well as a portion of park concession receipts. All that butterbeer revenue going into his pocket.

The above article delves into that pretty well....Heck, he should hope for continued Universal success since he gets 2% of paid admissions. With the huge attendance increases, he's making more than ever.

We're thinking alike. We posted simultaneously.

The interesting thing for future parks is this part. The article hinted at Universal reviving old Amblin properties and with Spielberg and Universal already having a close working relationship and the fact theme parks were mentioned in this interview and some films being revived that Spielberg owns such as The Goonies, Gremlins, etc...I betting there already are things in motion to bring these back for the third park.

Frig, that was a stupid long article and not really that good.

You know of the Addams Family in Scotland? I thought that only things you UK's watch was Masterpiece Theater, Nature Docs and Monty Python, all the while drinking ale and eating curry.

Well that is good, the accents are dreadful to nonexistent... that, and the movie falls apart on closer examination. That, and Mel Gibson falls apart on closer examination.

You forgot "Benny Hill".

Just my opinion, but I thought Mel Gibson pulled off a flawless Australian accent in Braveheart...
