So from what you are saying is that in order to expand USH in the way you described in those areas would entailing having to build something like the Hogwarts express?
Donkey Kong Country rumored for USH?

Looking at the Sound Stage map, 7-11 are all the sound stage buildings right up against SNW. We know that's *most likely* for DK, but according to the maps, 12 is the Voice sound stage all the across from that.
You saying that the Voice stage is getting demo'd as well!?

That is not the only way, a PM system or walking pathway for two ideas....also here is an idea people can walk. Get those 10K plus steps in
I think it's great that USH will be getting a copy of DK that is about on par with Orlando and Osaka size and attraction wise. Looks like USH wants to shed it's reputation of "just a smaller version of Orlando."

I believe Stage 12 is the only stage to not get the new color scheme. Wouldn't surprise me if this goes soon

I assume the only reason for removing 12 would be to re-route Kirk Douglas Dr, Its too far away to be used for DK
I'm also wondering about that Verna Fields building?

Hearing all these rumors, it honestly brings me so much joy, USH has been ramping up and SNW seems to be the end of this being just a park that as at the studio
With Hollywood needing to cut back spending and Travel/theme parks wayyyyyyy up. This just makes me soooo excited for the future of this park and DK and there Nintendolands moving forward

It's being incorporated into the Universal Campus that is being built right next to Stage 12. It's not going anywhere.

Are you basing that off the campus concept art or something else?
I ask because I think we should disregard the artwork. it shows the stages which were demoed for SNW so not too reliable.

UC's screenshot is taken from Adam the Woo's video earlier today that was shot when he was doing the VIP tour (6:55 mark of Adam's video):

Those fences have been up since at least 2021, and elephant doors open don't mean much on their own. I hate to say it but currently nothing to see here.
I did check that segment of the video and the guide said that soundstage 12 was the Phantom stage though?? lol

In the terms of the latter; I think it's just Adam the Woo not remembering locational positionals correctly. And the former: yeah--this ain't being torn down.
The fences have been up since then; and in the past few months, it actually looks like they've been starting to apply proper DensCoating on the portion that was demolished. Could this be getting used for park use as backstage facilities? That's a better question to me, but otherwise: this ain't gonna be for DKC.

But the guide agreed with him. Just thought that was funny lol
If they are aiming for a opening date for DK in the late 2025-early 2026 timeframe I would have to think that the soundstages behind SNW would have to come down at some point in 2023. Maybe around Summer?
They haven’t announced SNW until they were halfway done building it. Uni does not like announcing things early.

If I was Nintendo and hearing/seeing complaints about quality and detailing, I wouldn’t want to announce our new expansion at the same time. Now if we knew we were building the smaller land, and prepared for the complaints to be about size, I’d have planned to announce an expansion earlier than normal.
Also, let’s not forget Nintendo led the announcement of Super Mario Land. If it was universal we would have found out 6 months ago.

For the tram being reworked, I know JW was actually where the tram was originally. So it would be weird for them to relocate it back to the lower lot. They are also doing some expansion to the mummy’s line, so if this really is happening . Must be years away.

It's been quite a while though
They are? Are you sure you're not getting it mixed up with Orlando's Mummy getting its extended queue back?

Oh, maybe I did. I saw some photos and it looked like some construction was going on behind mummy.
