Giant, themed/hidden box == huge serotonin for theme park fan.There isn't enough space for an exact replica in the Jaws spot, and the Japanese theme park market in general seems to have no trouble dropping a lot of cash, but I take your point, it would be massive... but also awesome.

I'm against it. Getting rid of the lagoon which is utilized for way more things than just Jaws for a strongly themed attraction creates long term issues. It seems UP&R is thinking of USJ as a US park forgetting that its huge growth and popularity wasn't just due to Potter but other things. Expanding Potter into the Lagoon will create logistical challenges that will cut their ability to do some of those special things.
After further review, it pretty much fits on the Jaws spot. Reconfigure the queue and drop buildings and they should be able to make it fit fine.

Who's to say though that it is cutting into the main lagoon of the park? Or are you referring to the lagoon that the boats for Jaws traverses from?
The Jaws lagoon. That cuts off two scare zones and access to some HHN houses.

I'm real curious to see if they build another Dueling Dragons castle or if the queue is differentAfter further review, it pretty much fits on the Jaws spot. Reconfigure the queue and drop buildings and they should be able to make it fit fine.

Buddy, at USJ, aren't daily ops and special events basically synonymous? Once you go from Cool Japan to HHN to Holidays, how much normal park time do you have left?Daily ops will ALWAYS win out over a special event. HHN stuff can and will be relocated if need be.
Those are still special events. I'm talking about attractions. If they are basically green lighting a ride, they aren't going to say, "oh wait, we can't because we use the space for xyz". A new ride wins the day.Buddy, at USJ, aren't daily ops and special events basically synonymous? Once you go from Cool Japan to HHN to Holidays, how much normal park time do you have left?
