Yeah, I get that (correct me if I’m wrong) they tested dan enthusiasm with selling fb wands/merch but all potterheads I know aren’t wild about it...
It would be sort of two worlds by having "France" as one land and the indoor French Ministry of Magic as the second land. Almost like London is for Diagon, only much bigger for both.My guess for the lands honestly is:
FBAWTFT:
Brittish Ministry of Magic (similar to how kong is a mini land with a giant queue and ride), it also would feel odd for them to do multi lands for other worlds but not for Wizarding world
Wizarding France
I get that, just feels weird having a film about world travel and only one country present (sans the floo powder ride).It would be sort of two worlds by having "France" as one land and the indoor French Ministry of Magic as the second land. Almost like London is for Diagon, only much bigger for both.
I will say, those new mickey shorts are pretty fun.I don't think there will be a negative feedback against FanstasticB Land in UEU because fans of first Harry Potter's books and films already have 2 wonderful lands where original Potter Universe is very well represented.
On the other hand fans of Star Wars only have one area, Galaxy's Edge, focused on the hated new trilogy. Besides Star Tours and odd retheming such as Hyperspace Mountain there isn't anything else to honour the beloved original trilogy and its characters. I easily understand why GE's has been so criticized. Surprisingly Disney is going to repeat same mistake two more times: Mickey and Minnie Runaway Railway is based on those new and "postmodern" cartoons instead on classic Mickey/Minnie looks. And the first and much awaited ride of Mary Poppins in EPCOT will be based on the tanked "Mary Poppins Return" instead in the original and timeless Julie Andrews film.
I suspect FB may end up being the best of all these lands, but we shall see.
Well, I doubt it has lack of familiarity because it seems like its going to be Paris which is recognizable to almost everybody. Also, if the rumored Ministry ride is coming over then honestly going through all the Ministries is what brings the familiarity. I see your point, but they aren't coming up with a random location that somewhat relates to FB and has like a Kowalski's hanging around or something like Batuu. It'll be Paris most likely. Im not too worried. Ive said it before but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Jude Law's Dumbledore is involved somehow, adding to the familiarity. Also JK will promote the hell out of it.Wouldn't you say that FB is less recognisable than Potter though? HP is mainly focused on 2/3 main locations (and really mainly Hogwarts). FB is a lot more all over the place. Paris is only in the second film for example. The only constant is Newt's suitcase which tbf would be awesome. But I could easily FB having similar problems to Star Wars in lack of familiarity.
London was in the second one already, along with Hogwarts and Paris.Isn't there going to be at least one more FB film before EU opens? Theoretically if that's set in London then we could still see a FB London land?
But what’s the attraction? I love the Good Place but it makes no sense as an attraction needed land. Small shop and quick service? Absolutely. Large land that needs rides? NahHonestly, I would rather have The Good Place related world than FB especially if its going to be more Euro centric locations which theme park wise are getting overdone.
