They're not going to tear down a ride that's a few years old that guests like.Hot take, if we’re gonna get more JW, frankly, tear down Kong post epic and bring JW Adventure there if the ride is good. Re-do the river adventure, then you got 3 JW E-tickets, huge draw for IOA.
After Velocicoaster I don’t really need an entire other Jurassic land elsewhere since they’ve already blended the Jurassic’s together. I only imagine HTTYD is replaced by Trolls, KFP, or maybe Shrek. I don’t see them abandoning Dreamworks.
And DreamWorks can go elsewhere. None of those properties will generate the $$$$ Jurassic would.
My biggest issue with Epic Universe is do they have the ability and the need for an entire new park? As much as I would love a third park (not including VB) will they be stretched too thin? Universal needs a lot of attention imho in the coming years. Many of the rides are getting old and what if they loose Simpson's and Super hero area due to Disney now owning the rights. Also areas like near E.T., Blue Man Group and Poseidon Adventure needs replacing. Not including rides that are duds like F&F, Shrek. Universal needs the next big thrill ride and many others.
Having been there last week, yes. They absolutely need a third park to spread out crowds. IoA needs little. A show in one of the empty theaters is all the park really needs (Marvel isn't going anywhere). USF needs work, yes. But they think it can skate by on Diagon, Transformers, and being virtually connected to IoA (and again, seeing the crowds last week, they're probably right).
Is it, though? The Jeep plans were for a sprawling, mostly outdoor attraction.
It's a ride through the park featuring AAs and ends with the predators breaking out and chaos ensuing. It's the same type of concept, whether it's indoors or outdoors.
Probably don't want more than 1/2 the park being outside IPs.Hot take for me, if Dragons is going for the sake of another IP...why not Pokemon? Outside of a few IP's, Pokemon's one of the biggest IP's in the world. Giving it the megaland, feels like a great opportunity to go all in on the Pokemon branding.
Have it be a Fantasyland level land, with the biomes represented in small lands, depicting and featuring Pokemon, with the E-Ticket being an all ages attraction going after Team Rocket. Have all the generations represented in one unique and varied land.
