When Overwatch inevitably gets a movie, and if its a success, maybe... but I don't expect that.
Best I could think of for Fortnite is Halloween costumes but that’s not really a business Universal is invested in.Overwatch/Fortnite just really aren’t theme park attractions. While wildly popular it’s just not a theme park draw.
I didn’t say they would be exact clones.The Frozen rides will not be exact clones of what’s in Epcot. I’ve asked this before on the other site that nails Disney info.
I don't think Mission: Impossible could sustain a full land by any means, but a standalone attraction? For sure. The obvious angle would be a stunt spectacular, but I could also see something along the lines of a Tower of Terror-type ride working; the franchise has often featured characters at great heights in danger of plummeting to the ground.
I think Universal will be mostly focused on internal IPs except for Nintendo and Potter.
One question: How in the world will Universal make three other lands out of their own IP's? DreamWorks is obvious, Classic Monsters is a likely choice, but what about that third land? There's nothing substantial to put there that isn't currently used in one of the parks.
Nobody said there has to be a set number of lands or that they all have to be equal size. A DreamWorks Animation land could be huge with the sheer number of things they've done.
5 lands:
I don't know if Potter counts as one of their IPs. Sure they don't own it but they have the rights which is as good as.
- Hub and Port of Entry
- Nintendo
- Dreamworks
- Monsters
- ?????
I'm currently going by that "Five Lands" prediction that someone said on here, but you're right about about the equal size portion.
I believe someone said that the entrance and hub don't count as a land.
------------------------------------
Here's a thought: If they go with a Sci-Fi area, they could use some of the TV properties from SyFy. NBCUniversal owns them, and it could boost the lineup.
I think it definitely counts as a land, whether it counts as one of the 5 themed lands is another point.
I think a Sci-Fi area would add a good balance to the park overall. I wonder if they would clone the Battlestar Galactica coaster from Singapore or do they view that as laziness or want to avoid the trouble of having another duelling coaster.
More so Looney Toons. Still don’t see DC coming.
Maybe add some more cartoons like getting Spongebob and TMNT.
No way Looney Toons comes to new park. Six flags would have to give up the rights and then subsequently rebrand their kid land in every single one of their parks nationwide. And to what?
The premium they would charge for the massive overhaul/hassle is just not feasible. I think you can throw the LT idea away.
Then what is Universal's incentive? Whatever they build would be available regionally.I've always had this crazy thought that Six Flags would make a deal with Universal to allow DC or Looney Tunes in Universal parks but Six Flags will be allowed to have a clone of whatever rides they make.
