Port of Entry is arguably one of the most underrated theme park lands ever. I can't believe someone is saying that it's not well done when it sits literally right next to one of the most underwhelming park entries ever.

I miss Jaws and back to the future they may never return but i did hear recently that a new pinball VR game was announced from Oculus rift this is meaningless but it still shows Joe how popular these oldies are today not just about amusement parks but VG.

Wait, is Beijing getting three parks? There’s the obvious theme park, Volcano Bay, and a park that looks a lot like USF in the top-left.

It is USF. It’s just a placeholder layout for a possible second park down the line

They also had a Psuedo-VB on there for placeholder too, for a possible Waterpark as-well.

The show-buildings/dark rides seen on the map, are they fake as well? Because that map seems like it has an odd layout.

That all is something just put together for announcement marketing purposes. The finished product will be relatively different in both the park concept art and the map. Really not even worth paying much attention to anything in that release, short of Universal and China government entities are building a theme park in Beijing.

Anything that is going on at the portion that'll be USB (G1), the CityWalk, and a few of the hotels should be more than concrete..

that said, there was an update to the map found on Themeparx, that seems to indicate that they may be getting a version of the Potter coaster being developed right now for Orlando. So they could change things up in varying ways.

Brings me back. I remember the speculation that this map gave away Nintendo’s layout because the only thing that didn’t fully match USF is what should be KidZone.

I know Sheikra is right down the road, but what if Universal decided to have a dive-coaster as the new park's main thrill ride? We've already seen that it can be themed extremely well (Baron 1898) and have a unique layout (Yukon Striker). It wouldn't be a bad addition to the Universal coaster lineup.

EDIT: Pictures of Baron and Yukon below.

Yeah, the Beijing maps for public consumption are just placeholders to prevent intellectual property theft.

China's like the wild west right now; there's hundreds of theme parks being built by low quality/low cost operators as well as dozens being built by the largest theme park operators in the world.

Universal can't put any information out into the public sphere that might be taken/stolen and copied by somebody else before they're ready to begin presenting the park to the public.

I think a B&M Wing coaster would be a better addition, the closest one to Orlando is in Tennessee.

Yeah, a highly themed and compact B&M Wingcoaster like what's currently seen at Heide Park would be a better fit, and would bring more diversity as opposed to a dive coaster or a flyer.

The only way I see Universal attempting to build a wing-coaster is if it’s launched, similar to Thunderbird at Holiday World and Furious Baco at Port Adventura. That way, you don’t have to deal with the extremely tall lift.

Lift hills are a dying breed in Orlando just now.
