Berk might be the most fleshed out theme park land based on an animation ever built?First painted sculpture/set piece is making this all feel even more deeply real to me. Loving the early colors of the statues here in Berk!
I’d say so. 4 attractions, a major dining location, probably a ton of meet n greets, size too… I think this land is going to be much more of a mega hit than people think.Berk might be the most fleshed out theme park land based on an animation ever built?
May be hard to top Carsland, but we’ll see!Berk might be the most fleshed out theme park land based on an animation ever built?
Can’t be many lands that will account for almost a quarter of a park’s entire attraction count? Is it 4 in Berk, 2 in HP/FB, 2 in Monsters, 3 in SNW and 2 in the hub?I’d say so. 4 attractions, a major dining location, probably a ton of meet n greets, size too… I think this land is going to be much more of a mega hit than people think.
Marvel Super Hero Island has 4 rides in IOA. Then Harry Potter has 3 or 4 (if you include the train as a ride). So each of them accounts for 25% of the rides in Islands.Can’t be many lands that will account for almost a quarter of a park’s entire attraction count? Is it 4 in Berk, 2 in HP/FB, 2 in Monsters, 3 in SNW and 2 in the hub?
Discounting interactivity, SNW has 3, Monsters 2 with room for a 3rd, one gigantic experience in Potter with expansion room, and 4 in Dragons. It’s arguably the most fleshed out alongside SNW at the start.Can’t be many lands that will account for almost a quarter of a park’s entire attraction count?

I wanted opinions on this. What do we think will be flanking the archway once we pass through the Wizarding World portal? It's clear these walls going up are to block site lines. Do we think it'll simply be trees or something else?
Trees to enter Paris is a very weird choice. I was hoping they would do something like SNW where you enter trough a building and you are there. Now the arch would feel like the portal.Trees, like the tunnels under bridges at Central Park.
What's funny is originally there was going to be a hub-facing burger restaurant nearly butted up right to that wall, so there wouldn't be much room for too many trees back there anyway... but there will be lots of trees on either side of the portal regardless to block our view behind it.
Also, similar to what we're seeing with Monsters' portal right now, there's more theming coming to this portal, especially its back side, to help fill in that inside area.
if it looks like a scaled down version of the planned renovations of downtown Paris it'll look cool I think.Trees to enter Paris is a very weird choice. I was hoping they would do something like SNW where you enter trough a building and you are there. Now the arch would feel like the portal.
All of the portals will be surrounded by trees. Even Nintendo. It’s probably more to blend it into the surrounding hub than theming for the land you’re going to enter. Think of it like this: The portals are themed to give you a hint of what’s inside, but the trees on either side are part of the hub.Trees to enter Paris is a very weird choice. I was hoping they would do something like SNW where you enter trough a building and you are there. Now the arch would feel like the portal.
There will be an exit off to the side of each portal as well to help with traffic.Is there still just the one entrance and exit to each land through the same portal?
Correct!Is there still just the one entrance and exit to each land through the same portal?
Definitely. The construction on Monster’s portal already feels…epic.Does anyone else feel like these portals will be iconic? Maybe resin model or t-shirt worthy?
