Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

To be fair though, they could just retheme the coaster to the Classic Monsters and be done with it.

Like everything else with the Classic Monsters, what's old is new again.

Not to be a deck and I love all the insider info and speculation, but I feel like it's early enough in the process that 4 worlds could become 6 worlds or half a land could get completely scrapped. Correct? I feel like things are probably very fluid at the moment.

The worlds should be a lock, what's inside them is more fluid.

it's just... Beastly Kingdom... Tinkerbell's forest etc..

Things can always change, but it's better to be realistic about where we stand.

Beastly Kingdom was meant for a park that underestimated how much the animals costed. Don't know what happened to Tinkerbell's Forest. But, in a park with only four major lands, they definitely wouldn't take one out.

This is the thing that I think is confusing people. A "world" will consist of different "lands," and those "lands" are likely closer aligned to Diagon than Marvel Super Hero Island. Ironically, the structure is probably more akin to Epcot with its "Future World" and "World Showcase" each holding multiple pavilions (ie - lands), that have their own shops, restaurants, and attractions.

Exactly. A "World" can be like the existing Wizarding World at UOR with that world taking up three lands: London, Diagon, and Hogsmeade.

There's a drop dead date but things are fluid for a long time, you'd be surprised.

The only "World" that I could see being taken out is Classic Monsters, but what would you replace it with?

The "Disney Fairies" line didn't do the gang-busters they expected, plus there was backlash about Fantasyland becoming "Princess Land."

I mean, why would you want to ditch something that not only is in a way..yours, on the material you created, but are starting to give the IP a more..design revamp, to acclimate more nicely in a Modern-Day setting.

I would say if anything is cut, it would be Monsters.

That's true. If they want a different World in the park, they could just add it in. No need to get rid of anything.

So I've been trolling the US Patent website and came across recent Universal patent that is VERY interesting. This ride system looks bonkers and I want it now.

What in the....... I don't get this patent.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

The patent, seems more as if it'd have the ability to rotate on a three-car system (in the patent), and would use a form of extension beam to allow the cars to be stretched out for them to be pulled into the environment further.

Click the link for the FULL document for some more details. It's long and obtuse as always but it looks to be a ride system that involves a central hub that travels along a track with the ride vehicles attached to the hub by arms that rotate and turn both around the hub and individually pivot around the arm.

 

[Magic-Man]

I wonder how they'll create multiple rides for Fantastic Beasts? No way it just gets one.

Coaster through Newts suitcase and then the wand shooter.

A fourth HP coaster? I sorta doubt that.

Why? They already have three so why would they be against another?
