The Future of Lost Continent

[TheUniC6]

I’ve been told they already have plans for Wicked.

Simpsons replacement maybe?

I hope not. I see USF as the home for IP set in a modern era, like F&F, BTTF, Ghost Busters, etc. I don't want a castle (or similar) built at the Orlando Studios (I'm giving KidZone a pass).

On the other hand, Epic (or IOA) would be a great home for the fantasy setting of Wicked/Oz.

Regarding Pokemon replacing LC, I do hope this happens. Pokemon is a huge IP deserving of a full land expansion ASAP, and IOA would be a great home for it.

How are BTTF and Ghostbusters modern IP?

If Pokemon does go into the Lost Continent space, will they be able to use part Hogsmeade, including Hagrid's and Hogwart Expresses' queues, in the morning to handle overflow for the new Pokemon ride?

No but we’re putting the cart before the horse here.

Does anyone know how big the expansion pad is for Lost Continent? If it is Pokémon, that is going to require a major expansion at some point.

My hope for this LC project (whatever it ends up being) is that they find a way to maybe organize/improve the entrance of Hogsmeade (and provide a buffer between it and the new land). Would love for them to find a way to expand Hogsmeade just a bit (like moving the HE closer to the station and building a queue for Hagrid's lockers there, etc.)

There is no expansion pad unless they remove some back of house space. Doable, but I doubt they touch it. If they do find it necessary to expand Pokemon, I can see them follow the Potter treatment of basing multiple areas with different themes/settings.

7.1 acres for it all, with a 5.4 acre demo permit.

Pokemon in Lost Continent is a good call. Losing Mythos will hurt bad. Even if the Pokemon replacement has the exact same menu, it won’t hit the same. But any aesthetic Universal chooses for the land (realistic urban Rhyme City, cartoony Safari Zone, quaint Pallet Town, any combination thereof), it will work transitionally between Seuss and Hogsmeade while rebalancing the park a touch.

And it wouldn’t. If Pokémon comes in… this is likely the kind food they’d put in the land, much like SNW.

My apologies, I mean IP set in a modern era, preferably in a city/urban landscape. See Bourne, F&F, Diagon, Mummy, Fallon, and to a lesser extent, Minions (specifically Villaincon) and Simpsons/Springfield.

Ok that makes sense!

Belongs in a different thread but Simpsons abuts Animal Actors which would allow for a stage show as well.
