Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

[AlexanderMBush]

I expect SWL to be pushed back to an early 2020 for SWL with a mid-2020 launch for SNW.

I have a personal thought, on the potential showcase.

Would they potentially, as it would be one of the largest projects done in Orlando in years; have to do a preview center? I would assume so, as it is going to be on a dedicated theme park and new resort and entertainment offerings. I find it a fascinating question, as it would make sense.

I don't think there's a need for a physical preview center now days. You can create virtual videos and post them online and reach so many more people than those who would actually visit one.

When I saw that, I was actually confused.

What will this mean?

I couldn't find an official pic of this online so I just pshopped it. The red takes it to Universal. The Green would be down to Destination Pkwy replacing tradeshow blvd. I'm not sure if they are going to go all the way or not. They have the right of way at tradeshow if they wanted to.

I wonder about all the amazing things they have designs for... things much like Nintendo which they plotted out long before they received the rights. LOTR must have some incredible blue sky designs and plots/designs for attractions. Beasts must be another that is an option for them. What else is out there that they might have plans for prior to acquisition of rights?

Each and every day, more designs are drawn and honed, massaged only to potentially be shelved for a myriad of reasons. I wonder how many actually know that they might be designing a project for a new park. Wild, hmmm?

Dreamworks should have some good ideas also

Well, in partnerships that have been long term, anything Blumhouse owns is up for the theme park, everything owned by Boom Studios and IDW that they weren't licensed to make, they have over 168 animes that NBCuniversal owns as well as their partnerships with crunchyroll and funimation and 367 mangas which they have rights to, they have access to live action dreamworks and animated dreamworks. Also some producers of NBC shows produce other big name shows and movies and have gave those theme attraction rights to Universal (i.e how Universal got walking dead and AHS)

This park will not be open by 2021.

It won't?

 

[Nico]

It won't?

It will?

 

[JungleSkip]

It will?

All I know is it's an aggressive timeline.

 

[JPRA513]

With all the excitement surrounding Nintendo, Potter expansion, Volcano Bay, and various other projects, I sometimes overlook the fact that in the near future we'll have an entirely brand new theme park. Very exciting times at Universal right now.

 

[UniversalRBLX]

Definitely aggressive. 2 parks, land expansions, hotels within 10 years.

We're counting the Bae as one of the two here right?

Yep. BAE is included

Funny as well as that today, Uni announced a Purge TV series in addition to another film so we will probably see a permanent thing for that at HHN or in general.

Also of note, Astro Boy rights are now owned by NBC Universal as well.

You're not gonna get anything permanent for Purge.

Never thought we would get a tonight show ride but it happened. #.01%chance

Tonight Show is a massive, family-friendlyish brand. The Purge is popular in its niche, but it's not that popular.

In short : next 5 years is going to be one of a kind in tourist corridor of Orlando

Whatttttttttttttttttttttt?!?!?!? How did I miss this? But I do believe it needs to be a TV series over a movie.
