Universal Orlando August 1 Press Conference

[Jwhee]

I’m hoping D23 style.. start off with some smaller things then drop the big stuff at the end.

Still hanging on to that RMC dream, eh?

I legit think it'll be a round up of the past few years, covering this year with Hagrid/announce Bourne/announce HHN 29 stuff, then go into the future including a preview of Fantastic Worlds. Then end it all by having media walk around the FW model.

I would love for them to have a model, but I honestly think its just some images with the land as a backdrop. I see no reason for Universal having to reveal any lands outside of Nintendo. The simple news of confirmation of the park + hotels + CityWalk 2.0 is more than enough from a news standpoint.

Would we want all the details? Sure, but Universal has no reason not to breadcrumb that out and build more hype longterm.

I think we’ll get at least 2 lands, even if one of them is only the hub area

 

[Magic-Man]

Was anybody expecting an announcement this early?!

 

[RichOBJ]

Yeah I can agree with that. Nintendo + Hub area and then 4-5 shadowed areas "Coming soon ..."

It's a fair enough amount of information, but not giving away the farm on Day 1.

Agreed. I could easily see them announcing the new park, talking about Nintendo Land for a bit, here's the Mario ride, DK coaster etc.

See you in 2020 for more information.

Imagine them showing off the leaked model, but this time it has Hyrule or Pokémon stapled to it? Instant, unending hype from video game sites

If Pokemon is announced coming to FW on the 1st I am calling out of work.

 

[Magic-Man]

Anyone know the time of the press conference?

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Anyone know the time of the press conference?

10am

 

[UniversalRBLX]

Anyone know the time of the press conference?

10Am

Edit: Joe beat me to it.

 

[Scott W.]

It’s all very arousing.

I hope they bring back the giant egg timer.

 

[Magic-Man]

10am

Great, looks like I'm getting up at eight next thursday so I can get to the library in time to watch this whole thing go down.

 

[JungleSkip]

My predictions:

 

[Mad Dog]

Universal Orlando just loves 'Thursday' for announcement/openings etc. It's their sweet spot.

 

[snayberry]

 

[Scott W.]

My predictions:

This is a solid list. I think an announcement for 2022 is a bold move for Universal with the way they build rides unless it's going to take 3 years to build.

I hope that they mention MSHI and it's future.
