Yes, Kong was an old rumor. I believe its safe to say that since our Kong 360 did not close when Supercharged opened that this is not going to happen. Skull Island will stay in Orlando.Wasn't there a rumor of Kong also coming to the lower lot? Seeing how out of the blue SLOP is, I think it's safe to say it'll be very interesting to see what the lower lot becomes in the next 5-10 years.
If Diagon were to be 2018, then construction would have to start extremely soon. It may be safe to say that Diagon would be a Star Wars competition for 2019. Nintendo will probably push to 2020+So the Events of the two topics of interest last night, thanks to IU leaves me one question..what is the timeline for this? I would think that for the next three years, the Lower Lot is the focal point of attention but thinking about the lineup..
2017; TSLoP
2018; Diagon
2019; Nintendo?
To me, it just makes me wonder what is Universals plan for the next three years after Potter with all the rumors and whatnot.
I think it's safe to say at this point that as long as Mummy is standing, there will be no Diagon. I believe (just on a hunch) that Christmas 2016 will be the final holiday season for ROTM and it will close shortly after.If Diagon were to be 2018, then construction would have to start extremely soon. It may be safe to say that Diagon would be a Star Wars competition for 2019. Nintendo will probably push to 2020+
Shrek is going on 13 years...ugh, it will beat BTTF and T2ET lasted 12 years, T23D lasted 13 years, and BTTF lasted 14 years. I think it's safe to say that it isn't too far fetched that Mummy might be on the chopping table considering how long USH attractions last.
The current Studio Tour loading area and the tram garage is the most likely location for Diagon Alley.Why do they need to relocate Tram loading? What would go in the current spot?
To quote Yoda,The current Studio Tour loading area and the tram garage is the most likely location for Diagon Alley.
I think the Tram Loading area is perfect for Hogwarts Express. You can remove the "Starway" feel of the escalators and cover it entirely in Potter theme. It would be gorgeous. I only hope they can find a way for the train to get down the hill. There has to be a way.Tram and Garage Area would be big enough for Hogwarts Express...
In the end game, I see Hogwarts Express being definite. But, the real question of the day is where to put Hogsmeade station, and what exactly is the layout for the track.I think the Tram Loading area is perfect for Hogwarts Express. You can remove the "Starway" feel of the escalators and cover it entirely in Potter theme. It would be gorgeous. I only hope they can find a way for the train to get down the hill.
