Not trying to get ahead of ourselves too much here…

Is there enough land behind LC without interfering with the train to expand an acre or 2? I think what they have is enough but this should be a HTTYD size land imo.

There’s an access road and a building.

I lost this argument years and years ago, but trying to convince the greater theme park fan community that there's a difference between "best value" and "best restaurant" was a losing battle.

and I say that as someone who likes the restaurant! it's good! but there's more out there.

Same! The couscous bowl is delish and a great value. But I’ll never forget my five course dinner at Takumi Tei.

I've always found that banner as cringe lol

Imagine the theme park community if they put a banner in front of Satu'li Canteen as "Best Quick Service - Theme Park Insider"

Oh my, I didn't realize we were in the presence of the 1%!

Jk, lol

Even from my first trip to Universal and I saw the banner, I was like "that's.. really corny"

I have an attachment to Mythos - 2012 was a rough year for me personally and I got an annual pass to Universal and spent many days at the parks alone. It was a happy place for me and Mythos was one of those spots. 2012 was also when I joined these forums! I remember sitting at Mythos scrolling through the old Orlando United site updating folks and posting pictures while I watched Hulk out the window.

So, not the best restaraunt I've had at a theme park but a spot in my heart nonetheless.

Reasonable price in relation to the food quality has a lot to do with peoples rating of a restaurant.

It was subtle, but I do keep suggesting they tear it all down throughout the episode. I worry they won’t, but they should.

Only thing I could see them keeping and retheming somehow is Mythos...but even that would need such extensive exterior work that I think it would be gone. *Maybe* the Sindbad theater, but even that I would doubt.

Unless we're all wrong and this isn't Zelda. In that case who knows. lol

In before it remains Lost Continent and they just make Poseidon's Fury into a Greek Gods-themed dark ride lol

Sorry I wasn’t sure if Alicia had made it public yet, but today’s pod episode confirmed. She had recently mentioned Waterworld as a speculated land in one of the EU expansion plots.

If it has to go anywhere, I’d prefer Islands over EU. Maybe @tommyhawkins can confirm or deny if that space is available. If I remember correctly, both LC and the expansion between Monsters and SNW are around the same size (~7 acres). Like Alicia mentioned though, the configuration of LC may make it difficult.

I would not want Waterworld in general. If they absolutely have to, put it where Toon lagoon theater is. Don't waste Lost Continent on that.

They can fit (very tight) WaterWorld in the Sinbad location and (if they want to) remove the warehouse behind Poseidon's and use that as part of a ride building in the PF plot.

My doubts for Waterworld can best be expressed with the phrase "Why now?" and "Why there?"
