I am 80% sure Pokémon will be in this new park. Based on nothing but hope and dreams.
IMO doing just Nintendo is a terrible idea. It limits the audience where Dreamworks is still a big deal and produces many known characters to children. Kids love Trolls, Dragons, Panda, and Shrek.If Universal were smart, they'd focus the third gate entirely on Nintendo. They have to know now that DreamWorks isn't the big deal that it used to be, nor is Secret Life of Pets.

Regarding Dreamworks, if Nintendo and Wizarding World are already in the park, the the other lands have to be the world’s most relevant IPs? I think kids will be drawb in by Nintendo, if they like Dreamworks, even better, and if not then the quality of the rides alone should be enough to draw people in, as with Pandora.DreamWorks was a flash in the pan. It's not what it used to be, nor will it ever be again. Nintendo has distinct lands that people want to visit; no one wants to visit... Troll land?

How to Train Your Dragon 3 come out next year, has always been a huge hit at the box office.
Shrek, DreamWorks biggest IP, is getting a reboot next year.
Kung Fu Panda is a decently big IP.
Madagascar made a ton of money at the box office before, will probably get a sequel.
Trolls sells a ton of merchandise.
Secret Life of Pets made a ton of money at the box office, is one of Universal’s highest grossing movies of all time, and is getting a sequel.
Mind explaining why these are just “A flash in the pan”? O:
I just feel as though Nintendo as a cohesive theme would be easier and also more exciting.
We already have DreamWorks in the existing parks and the Fantastic Beasts film are hardly big enough to carry another HP land.
I mean, who WOULDN'T want to see properties that we've never seen in theme parks before?
No one's going to be losing their minds over a... Secret Life of Pets area.
Shrek is forgotten.
HTTYD3 will underperform next year.
No one cares about Dreamworks other franchises.
No one likes people who double or triple post either.Also, people bring up LOTR when Hyrule would just be a lot easier property-wise and still excite the heck out of people.

Allow me to be one who says, that it shouldn't have to be just on one audience. Variety is sometimes needed, to get people from being alienated.
Dragons and Trolls in particular; would be large, as the HTTyD series has been a critical darling with a somewhat large audience. And Trolls..prints money. Even if we weren't talking about the DWA film, it's still a huge IP because of it's marketability.
Nintendo would be big, but they can't just rely on one thing. They need to multi-task on what works for a theme park setting; and that having more than just Nintendo is a great thing for the future.
No one likes people who double or triple post either.
Best of luck with a DreamWorks focused park then! I'll be... anywhere else!

Then what is Universal's incentive? Whatever they build would be available regionally.
If this is really the case, if Universal really doesn’t go out and get any big IP’s, I can’t see them waiting to build Pokémon and Zelda. That’s a giant audience right there.
I think this would be overkill. I'm still hoping for something completely original.
Even without knowledge of whatever that fifth land ends up being (if there is one), we can already tell that this park will have great variety in its attractions:
- DreamWorks = Kids and Families
- Super Nintendo World = Kids, Families, Teenagers, Adults
- Fantastic Beasts = Families, Teenagers, Adults
- Classic Monsters = Teenagers, Adults
There’s enough diversity within Nintendo to keep three lands from being overkill. Something original is possible, but doubtful.
