State of USH - What's Next?

[TheUniC6]

With F&F now being pushed back as the 2025 addition, I predict whatever expansion Nintendo or otherwise goes in place of the soundstages will be the 2027 addition to USH.

ah I see Jim Shull is Jim Shull'ing.

I assume Jim Shull is kinda like Jim Hill from the Disney Dish podcast then. Started out as a credible source of rumors but is no longer credible.

Agreed. It makes sense to have another new USH land expansion right before the LA Olympics in 2028. Hopefully the rumored hotel will be ready by then as well.

Shull was actually part of WDI for over 30 decades, and worked at UC for a bit of time too if I recall correctly.

DK will be opening at USJ next year. Based on the pattern of how Nintendo announced SNW for EU, how likely is it they will announce DK or some other Nintendo IP land extension for USH at the grand opening if that still indeed on the table for USH?

F&F is officially 2025? For real? Where did you hear that from? Not intending to sound snarky just curious.

@ethanuniversal claims/said he heard there is an 18 month timeframe to construct a coaster from when they broke ground. But I do have my fingers crossed that knowing how fast Universal can move if they want to (Transformers The Ride's build at USF was just a year!) they can get this up by 2024.

Not sure, but Universal has a history of playing it coy when it comes announcing new expansions. They still haven't even officially announced fast and furious despite the screamscape leaks or them working on the AA and SES demolition process for the past 6 months.

Yes it is scheduled for 2025

2024 will likely be a year where subtile enhancements are done to USH to prep for the road to 2028. SNW is a smash hit so obviously USH thinks they can coast on that to tide them over until 2025. 2025 on the other hand might yield us two or even three attractions. We get the F&F coaster alongside either a port of Villain Con from USF assuming it gets good reception from the GP. Villain Con is a small scale attraction that sounds like it was cheap to throw together and sounds like it could easily be ported over to USH and plopped in the Walking Dead space next to SLOP to add capacity as @Alicia mentioned in a recent video. 2025 will also be the year of HTTYD with the HTTYD reboot coming out in March followed up with the land at EU that Summer. To take advantage of that, another option could be to create a new HTTYD film for the DWT. Or maybe we could get all three, as with the DWT all they have to do is change the film and put out a press release.

How about one new thing for 2025, just the coaster

Okay slow down mate. How about we bulldoze half the park for more Nintendo rides first. Let’s get our priorities straight here.

UniC has received a 2 week ban. Let’s try to show some restraint with the Blue Sky postings.

So there are 5 sound stages in the area. I'd love somehow the one near Jurassic becoming another Jurassic Ride or themed area.

I feel like Jurassic is a brand that would work well if we finally got a full land toward it.

The other sound stages are near Nintendoland....so would not be supervised if those did go away that they could be Nintendolands. Since space is limited, would not mind a attraction based on the new minions Tech, so we can get another big restaurant themed to Nintendo since the one now fills up in just a few hours.

I don't hate the idea of another JW ride. I'd be down for a JW indoor roller coaster of some sort.

A hanging coaster with Dinosaurs below you would be pretty cool, if they have room.

If Universal does move the tram then we have even more room to play with because they could use backstage on the hill as well

If they don't have space then something in the style of Flight of Passage would be cool as well, maybe you are going back to the original island to save Dinosaurs or if they just have current canon could be a ride where you go across the globe and see how Dinosaurs are surviving among humans

 

[joerodriguez]

A drop tower ride wouldn't be a bad idea either, since they don't require a lot of space. Plus it adds another thrill attraction to USH's lineup.

Here's hoping the 2024 addition is another place to get a drink in SNW that doesn't look as half assed as the trolley they occasionaly drag in. I really don't understand why they haven't resolved this issue yet, it's embarassing.
