Because SNW was meant to be the anchor for EU to draw people in. You take that away, what other family friendly IPs could you have to anchor EU to draw people in? Not much.Easily a worse timeline for the resort as a whole.

I do wonder if we'll see the facial recognition used actively in future rides? Imagine something ET saying your name but you never used the boarding pass, it just recognized you on sight. Which also sounds really creepy now that I write it out.
It's one of the biggest "What if...?" moments that I can think of in the park's history.A look into an alternate, better timeline for USF.
Only if you believe Epic wouldn't have been built without it.Easily a worse timeline for the resort as a whole.
I think you could have gone a couple of different ways. You could swap in one of the two rumored Nintendo lands slated for the existing parks: Pokemon and Zelda.Because SNW was meant to be the anchor for EU to draw people in.

Considering all the good I think it would have instantly done for the park's attraction roster, this would have been easy to overlook.Giant plain walls around SNW wouldve stood out as weird in USF more than Epic.
Not really. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for Epic, but I wish that Nintendo/Potter went into USF and that Isle of Berk went into IOA. Monsters is really the only land that wouldn't have happened at either of the other parks. Epic Universe is exciting but (hot take incoming) kinda unnecessary.Easily a worse timeline for the resort as a whole.
Unpopular opinion yes, but I've thought the same. I liked that small campus feel with everything within walking distance. I would have preferred the building up of the present two parks...But, I'm sure, we're in the minority by far.....Epic will certainly be an excellent park. But I'll still stay at the present resort and spend the vast majority of my time there. For me, Universal is more than just the theme parks. It's the totality of the close knit resort with so much to do besides just the parks.Not really.

Monsters, for a bit, was considered to replace MiB (from my understanding).Not really.

Wonder what that would have looked like? I'm guessing just the manor and some smaller buildings on the other side of the pathway.Monsters, for a bit, was considered to replace MiB (from my understanding).
I think the 3rd gives more revenue and that we would never get these lands without that additional revenue. As a fan of course having these lands in existing parks would be best and cheaper, but I don't think we ever see 4 of these 5 lands if the new park isn't built. I think we get SNW in Studios, but I don't think any of the other lands go into the other parks.Unpopular opinion yes, but I've thought the same.

Maybe MOM attraction too. There was a lot of solid talk about that also for Fear Factor area...but not the whole Paris land, of course. ....Nintendo was a for sure though. ...And, Lost Continent would probably have started construction with a new IP......Ultimately, Epic is probably the wise business decision since it's situated to 'extend' vacations, thus more revenue.......and, Epic will ultimately get it's own expansions since there's lots of space reserved for them....Universal thus becomes a bit more like WDW....but, myself, I prefer the compact present resort, all together in one walkable spot. Makes for a nice leisurely, lots to do if you want when you want, vacation.I think the 3rd gives more revenue and that we would never get these lands without that additional revenue.

On this, wasn't the rumor for the MOM attraction the VR one, NOT the grand one we are currently getting?Maybe MOM attraction too. There was a lot of solid talk about that also for Fear Factor area..
The first iterations were trackless rides, but would not have had the room for the massive Ministry of Magic atrium and fireplace entry queue had it been built next to Diagon Alley.On this, wasn't the rumor for the MOM attraction the VR one, NOT the grand one we are currently getting?
Based on the size of the showbuilding, I do not think it would fit in the FF space.
