Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

[JungleSkip]

Fantastic Beasts is Potter, which has the best attractions Universal has ever done. You can be sure that the land will be great. Meanwhile, DreamWorks is a Universal-owned property with so many IP's within it. That could be a bad thing if they choose to do as many IP's if they can, or if they decide to go cheaper because they have no one quality-checking the land.

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but DreamWorks is my biggest worry for this park.

But Monsters is a Universal IP as well, and you're not worried about that :tease:

Because it's Monsters. It's iconic. If they mess that up, people will be all over Universal for years.

Also, it should have a thrilling coaster. :grin:

Ehhh I feel like far less people actually care than you think.

Not so fast, my friend.

Still banking on this park being unthemed steel coaster less. Think the coasters will be more inverted Mack/HP coaster, Mummy.

I mean, until the land opens we don't know for sure, but afaik there is no big coaster

I agree.

Yea, I googled that after your post.

I've literally never heard of this before. I think if it was an actual concept, it probably never moved very far. King has been pretty firm on not wanting his properties in a theme park. HHN has tried to get him on board in the past, and there is just no interest.

I was about to say “didn’t they get The Shining?” but then I remembered it was hammered hard that it was “Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining.”

JP is their last coaster hurrah. As it should be IMO. They are better than that now.

Please not the inverted Mack, but I'm fine with the other two. Maybe something like the Jurassic World coaster with more theming and less height would be great.

 

[Imperius]

Would expect the Mack to work its way here sooner or later. Perfect family ride.

Oh man, I'd love Universal to have an Intamin hyper like Hyperion though

I hope Fantastic Beasts doesn’t make it tbh. There’s enough Potter between USF and IOA.

Prepare to be disappointed

I mean FB has decent ride ideas. A ride based on the beasts should do well.

just put like 4 mummy coasters in the new park.

1) Nintendo
2) DreamWorks
3) Monsters
4) Fantastic Beasts

That's my rankings when it comes to anticipation for the worlds.

Keeping in mind that everything is execution-dependent, here's my ranking which tries to balance my relative interest in the properties with the ride possibilities:

1. Nintendo
2. Monsters
3. Fantastic Beasts
4. DreamWorks

For context, I care more about the Monsters than I do Nintendo (though it's close and they both hit my nostalgia buttons hard), but - given what we already know - Nintendo's rides will be awesome.

I mean FB has decent ride ideas. A ride based on the beasts should do well.

A dark ride tour through Newt's menagerie seems like a no-brainer for at least one attraction. That could be a slower, all-ages offering to compliment a more thrill-ride-centric Ministry of Magic attraction.

New blog post..."Does Universal Have Too Many Mummy Based Coasters?"....Also "Universal Cancels Nintendo Land to Build Beenie Babie Land"

Mummy is fun, but they can do better (AKA the Potter coaster).
