^ Oh, Vyrus, I highly, highly doubt Universal will get rid of Mythos, let alone the entire Greek section.

Screamscape said the REST of LC, which includes the Greek section....enjoy it while you can dude.

Weeeeell, I believe it is closer to "the investigation of expansion is in full swing". At least that is what has been very vaguely hinted to me. Frustratingly vague I might add.

There are 2 sections of LC left, Greek and Arabian. I'm just emphasizing that it could be none, one, or both sections. Nothing is concrete, hence a rumor.

Markings backstage could just be so they have a point of reference for any blue sky concept they are working on. If they have an idea they problem have many and want to see how each would fit in the existing areas since they cannot take over too much of backstage due to proximity to production facilities. Just because there are makings backstage doesn't mean anything untill it's announced and they start transformations... projects have been known to get this far and then been shut down before. Esp if they have yet to present it to JK or WB yet.

You guys are jumping to conclusions, and imo so is Screamscape. Besides the survey, and, this has been pointed out, Uni included a lot of things in that survey, there has been nothing concrete to indicate anything will happen soon. Especially this soon.

4 or 6 weeks ago, I told you that something is going on but the circle is so tight right now that I cannot be privy to anything but a grin, smile, wink, or "eh" nod to the side and finally the annoying "which Spring". There are other projects going on that I get the same stuff from other close sources... some because of the economy and others because of the job. They cannot say a thing as the info is so close to what they do.

I do not see Harry Potter expanding any time soon, guys. It is way, way too early to just go get rid of the Lost Continent in which they would be loosing one of Orlando's best restaurants. You can not just re-theme it and call it okay, the cuisine is entirely different, and the atmosphere does emphasize the experience greatly. There current lay out can not be tempered with to make any sense without having to make some really unrealistic concepts, that in my opinion will just ruin all of WWoHP. I do not think they need to expand right now, and Lost Continent should not be going any where any time soon.

I don't believe the rumor, one bit either. I do, however believe that Universal is much more logical and smarter than just being flat out "stupid not to expand". :doh:

Just throwing this out there: Anyone who has followed Screamscape in any capacity knows, take every bit of news with a grain of salt. It's a rumor site.

in my opinion, IoA could go either way. i personally would prefer they expand harry because Lost Continent is just way to boring for me, and many people i know. there isnt much to do, and we all know it could be better. whether they fix it up or just re theme it i dont care, something should be done. and about the issue with Mythos, it could be re themed with out loosing its charm. im sure they would make something great if not better than the old mythos.

Like I said, it can't be rethemed. They will not change the food, because it is a leading Orlando Theme Park resturant, and the food is no where near British cuisine. LC is pretty much like Port of Entry, with the addition of a game area, a show, and a walk through attraction. They do not need to expand it over Potter, they need to add a new attraction there. Though, it won't happen any time soon and neither will this acclaimed Potter expansion.

You may not think so, but UO will do whatever they want to do regardless if we want it or not because making money is the most important thing to them.

Three brooksticks is serving pretty high quality food and is making MUCH more money than Mythos. If they can create a high end restaurant in the same venue that would still be a sit down meal, but theme it to Potter, I don't think anyone on here would complain about that.

You mean, at the same caliber as Mythos, right? Because I would hardly call Three Broomsticks "high end".

Correct me if I am wrong but didn't Mythos recently lose the Best Theme Park Restaurant award?? Maybe a retheme to HP with different cuisine could be exactly what it needs to be back on top??

Yes of course, I'm speaking more of revenue that 3B's makes more money.

Yes Bistro de Paris at Epcot took the top spot last year. I actually have reservations for the Saturday before Valentines at the time of Illuminations.

Three Broomsticks is just making more money because Potter is the hottest thing on Orlando right now. The food is just a more or less version of the restaurant that was there before it, with the addition of chicken, pot pie, and shepards pie, and of course wizard drinks... It is nothing to scream about. As for Mythos, it is still popular and UO is smart enough than to just get rid of all it's success for Mr. Harry.

I would love an expansion. But I am being realistic, in thinking of theme park terms, and not being quick to think that UO just wants more and more money... I don't see Potter expanding over Lost Continent. They'd have to close everything down, get rid of their most popular restaurant, and there is not even a very reasonable and appropriate design or concept to expand Potter with what it is now. They can't open more stores... what else is there? All the merchandise is there, and they are getting more and more of it... in which they do have room to put it. In the shops, in the carts, in the stores at the front. They already have a very popular dark ride attraction, and two roller coasters, one being an extreme thriller. They did claim that they promised to add in Deathly Hallow elements, which IMO may include a few minor additions and updates here and there. But nothing as big as to take over one of their lands. They need to clean up LC (which clearly they have been doing... looks to Mythos structure) and add an upscale attraction.

first off, mythos isnt the best thing uni has. its a really good resteraunt. right now, uni's main image is harry potter. many people who arent theme park finatics who will jump up and down about re doing LC but more harry? that would attract a huge crowds. IMHO mythos could be changed and still be great. while it is a outstanding resteraunt, it can still be made better. the food there is great, but i wouldnt be suprised if they could make a british themed dish that was better, and the theme can be changed to wizards and still be just as great. will a handful of costumers be mad? absolutly. but if the new mythos was better than the old one, then pretty much all of them would be happy. in the long run, it wouldnt make or break someone going to uni so to them, they would probably do it. the pros are higher than the cons so why not?
