For those who think the (TPU rumor, emphasis on the word rumor) that LOTR may take over Toon Lagoon, what IP would people want to replace Lost Continent? I feel everyone points towards Zelda. Which to me, is just a tad to similar for the GP (sorry to dumb them down but you get the point) to LOTR. If not Zelda, what fits best here? Part of me thinks this is ultimately where HTTYD should have gone, and could be opening sooner than EU, if the rumor is true that HTTYD was rumored to replace Lost Continent. For revisionists history sake, id have gone with HTTYD at Lost Continent for a 2021/2022 opening, and gone for Trolls for EU. Trolls is a major sell amongst kids, could lead itself to a very colorful and immserive environment. A coaster and boat ride and show would likely suffice, along with maybe a spinning ride like the one in Toy Story land, themed with music and a Troll AA in the middle.
BUT since that's not happening:
In this hypothetical, id personally go with KFP from Beijing. IOA has a major issue when it rains as a lot of their main attractions are outdoors/a coaster. KFP is indoors, has a boat ride (which could replace Dudley's if that land hypothetically becomes LOTR and gets that raft ride) highly immersive which is what Universal wants, would add another family friendly IP to Islands, and id hope would have an awesome Chinese restaurant attached to replace Mythos. Just an idea, as I don't see LC being replaced until after EU. Mythos is too popular for them to do that id think. Anyways, just my thoughts on where the land should go. Id really like to see KFP hit the states in a stronger capacity than the Dreamworks Theatre.
