I saw an article that quoted the name for the new gate is something like "Fantastic Worlds" but I hope that's not correct.
Universal has copyrighted several possible names... Many speculate, due to the copyrights, that the new park will have EPIC in it... Epic Worlds??? Epic Journey??? Epic Adventure (too much like Islands of Adventure).... Epic Fantasy????
So excited for Nintendoland!!! I hope it really happens. :)
Land prepping has begun... Grand breaking could happen in 2019... Looking like a possible opening in 2022, 2023 time frame...
So when do you expect an announcement from Universal? At their next shareholder's meeting, likely this winter?
Got it! ;) Just curious, would you rather go to one HP park or do you like that Universal has HP at every park? Sure, Disney has some franchises with attractions at multiple parks (Toy Story and the Little Mermaid to name a few), but I was just curious. My guess is that they'd rather spread the crowds, but it might be cool to have an entirely themed park (a la the rumored Disney Villian's park - don't get me started, I'm sure they're not opening a fifth gate anytime soon).
I have no issue with HP being in two, and more than likely 3 parks... The lands fit in both parks... And they wanted to create that world... So Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley had to be separate... Plus, we got the Hogwarts Express!!!! No issues at all...
With Disney, well, I do sort of hate how they have the same IPs in each park... For one, I believe in theme... The IP should fit the theme of the land/park you are putting it into... Monsters Inc in Tomorrowland does not belong... Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin fits better, with the space theme... But still, do we need that attraction anymore?? TSMM is better, light years better... Do we need the Little Mermaid stage show in DHS now that the attraction is open in MK???
I just hope they don't over saturate us with Star Wars in all Disney parks now... Let's leave it in DHS where it belongs, and let's not put, say DAGOBAH into Animal Kingdom....
Maybe I need to start a post in a Disney thread, maybe THEME PARKS??? regarding destruction of theme for the sake of fitting in IP just because....
So this could be the big reveal to try to rain on WDW's 50th birthday party eh? I think they will announce something big opening in 2021 soon...
DS2 and I were excited about this while we were in Disney World last week.
I want to see Jurassic World.
I'm a big guy. Going to have to be a few velociraptors.
Better than the spitting one.
