It was a joke bud, the land is not the Kiddie land thats being assumed with a launch coaster that's likely 48" and Sky Fly at 51" .
I think everyone needs to chill with the heavy skepticism, you could reduce anybody's favourite park in the world to a sterile list of rides and state how unexciting they sound but a park is more than the sum of that ride list. As ive said previously youre getting an opening day park thats already the equivalent to a fully built out IOA. with room to grow by a further 50% in the following years. New Park, and a lot more room for growth at USF. The bright future that is ahead for Universal Orlando cannot be understated, especially in the awesome fact that in this forum we get to argue about what rides are coming, in other places theyre still arguing about whether a cool new ride should even be built in their precious park and wondering if the only other ride they have to look forward will ever be finished, that's an empty glass situation right there
Not to mention all this pessimism is over a PATENT (how often do those actually translate 1:1 to something that's actually built?) possibly related to ONE ride in a park 3.5 years away from opening that we still have very little actual details about outside of one land that's been built elsewhere to great guest satisfaction.It was a joke bud, the land is not the Kiddie land thats being assumed with a launch coaster that's likely 48" and Sky Fly at 51" .

I'm more surprised Universal isn't trying to get ready player one theme park rights since metaverse is so hot these days.

I do think Epic Universe is likely the space for it.Ok so I know this is a joke, but it brought me down a hypothetical business angle.
Based on what we believe to be the current need of the existing parks and what EU may offer:
If Universal acquires an IP similar to LotR (I.E no connection to current IPs, can support an immersive land), should that IP automatically go in EU expansion?
We know Potter may be in all 3 parks and it's spread has been beneficial to attendance/spending. We've theorized that something similar can be done with Nintendo - ex. Pokemon in Studios and Zelda in IOA. If this is the plan (which we don't know for sure it is) it would make sense to me to have an IP similar to LoTR go into EU.
Thoughts?

We talking Toon Lagoon or EU here?Surprised no one’s brought up Lord of the Rings in awhile
I’m not at all a super fan of LOTR/Hobbit, but, are they separate enough of franchises to have LOTR in EU, and the Hobbit in IOA?
If they were to ever spread the property across multiple parks (which I'm not saying they would or should), I think it's much more likely to be split across Middle-Earth geographic lines, not specifically split by LOTR and HOBBIT areas. There's way too much overlap of locations, characters, and general design aesthetics in the LOTR and HOBBIT trilogies.
I strongly favor Zelda being put in EU. More space!
The park needs a Castle weenie.
And Hyrule Castle is perfect for it.
(I really hope Harry Potter is reconsidered Because it's overkill at this point.)
Lord of The Rings would be a great addition too, just not sure what would be use for attraction wise with it. But then again, I haven't watched all films of it.
I've just been trying to figure out what would the ride be?I've been okay with more Potter because I've been anticipating the ride to be something mind-blowing. If it involves practical sets being switched in and out, it may still be.
pretty sure both are Fox (so now Disney) unfortunately. I wish we got a Futurama ride, that could be greatAnd can we get a Futurama ride?!
Or even a Bob's Burgers!
good news for you, Fantastic Beasts has been rumored to be reconsidered and they don't seem to be going with that anymoreHagrids and another small roller coaster
I mean I guess the new ride could be based on Fantastic Beasts which the land will be too
