Nice and we have to assume that AMC will have a yellow brick road loading you to the theater as well....or at least hopefully

I'm honestly more curious about the character M&G's, if they're recieved well and who they choose.

If it's Elphaba primarily, one has to wonder if Elphaba is in her main "Witch" costume.

I'm not thrilled by this, but at least Universal is doing something to promote the new adaptation of the Broadway production.

And at least it's something new for 2024 in park & Citywalk. Hope they do more with other Universal IPs in the future

If they don't keep those lights green, someone should be demoted. The lighting is perfect!

From Red-Fire on Reddit, Wicked has taken over Hollywood & Dine with themed signage and flags.

Wicked Arrives in Style at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal CityWalk

Let us rejoicify: to celebrate the upcoming release of the first chapter of “Wicked” in cinemas on November 22, Universal Studios Hollywood is unveiling a variety of new offerings for guests to enjoy across the theme park and Universal CityWalk. Though a slightly complicated backstory, for those

It's not going to happen but will throw this out to Universe

French Street and the courtyard near it are really the only space as of now that could be rethemed to Wicked within the next two years. Now I would loveeee a full land an E ticket but we all know unless the Simpsons land becomes that that we have 5+ years if we are lucky before seeing Wicked come to USH because of space issues.

So anyway throwing out a idea to Retheme French street to the outside market found in the Wicked movie. I'd use the two restaurant spaces and make it two story so we can get a nice new Restaurant and a meet and greet area/props and costumes from the movie on display. Now the court I would not put toooooo much effort into retheming too much if it's going to be used for HHN still. I would not push tooo hard for Mel's dinner to be removed...but if they are willing to get ride of it for an area where we can have a nice little outside show then I'm all for it because the park needs more shows and burgers are at many other places in the park.
No idea if this land would be too small for it...but if they could sell Wicked Wands and be able to use them in the mini land to make things move and make sounds then that would be cool as well

Also a street show, would just be fun how ever they could fit that in and have a few of the songs sung. I think this would be a cheap easy hit for the parks and bring life to a land that most the year is just used to walk from Minions to the rest of the park.

I brought this up over on the movie thread--but I am gonna bring it up here.

I want a full scale Emerald City land, after seeing this film. I think there's a lot you can do with USH if they move things around and use one of the big expansion opportunities for Oz. Make it our version of Wizarding Paris, where we get to wander around the city, partake in the sights; and catch Wizomania. Let us meet The Wizard and follow Elphaba and Glinda as the Wicked Witch of The West is born.

I am completely on-board with Wicked in USH, and I think it'd say a lot if we got an Oz based land in the heart of LA.

Everyone knows I'm down for for E tickets

But USH for now is being very slow on adding to USH...we aren't even getting a new ride this year or next

They are focusing on the hotel and most likely after the coaster Simpsons land...so unless it's going there...we would have to wait 5-10 years for Oz and I rather for now get something over maybeeeee getting something later. Rumors were DK coaster was coming now its not so Universal has no problem having a great ride then just not bringing to USH because of space

So if Universal can move the Tram and give us more then enough land for 3 more lands in the Tram loading area-falls lake then bring it. Would love Oz, More Potter and Zelda in that area

This is one of those times where I am hoping and praying that they fast-track Wicked for USH. They have something genuinely special; and I want it expanded and fleshed out to be something big.

Didn't someone mention that they'd already worked out a Wicked concept for IOA back in the day? Sure, they'd have to incorporate the film aesthetics, but I doubt they'd be starting from scratch with a hypothetical Wicked land.

There was the fabled Screamscape MSHI thing, but I doubt that was ever legitimate (unless someone wants to say otherwise lol).
