Thanks ! Yeah I think that too, can’t wait to see how they will manage all of this !I particularly like this idea. The "mountain range" is surprisingly effective with Skull Island.

Nothing has really come out about this yet, but I think Express will be available for most attractions from day 1.
I think the best move would be to give Grand Helios guests access to express. Not sure if that should come at the expense of Royal Pacific or in addition to the current resorts. With the expanded capacity across the resort, it could go either way.
I think they add Helios without removing Royal Pacific.
When there are three parks, it’s practical to have four resorts with the express perk. Probably not the case with only two parks.
Waterworld is such a weird pick for this park since it’s become a studio park staple in Hollywood, I’d much rather see it in an expansion pad at USF.
Oh of course I like that option more, I’m just saying that if they need to put it in Florida it should really go to USF.Or, hear me out, don’t built it anywhere and do a new show. Crazy!
I hope 2026 sees the rumored Creature from the Black Lagoon boat ride at EU and a new dark ride at USF, and I hope 2027 sees whatever is going to be happening in Lost Continent.Something worth talking about IMO is the possible timeframe for the expansion pads. You have the one between Nintendo and Monsters (currently rumored to be Waterworld per Alicia in a podcast), and of course the 20-acre one on the right probably for LotR.
- 2025 - EU opens.
- 2026 - ???
- 2027 - Zelda at IoA?
- 2028 - ??? (Simpsons may be closing this year)
I could see 2026 for Waterworld (they've built it 3 times, can't imagine it would take too long for them to build a 4th), then 2028 for LotR, will help suck away some of the big IoA crowds (Zelda) and lessen USF's crowds (just lost an entire area with a good capacity attraction). Then again, maybe two years in a row of a big fantasy IP land is too much.
Serious question: what IP out there right now allows for the same kind of large-scale, effects-heavy stunt show? That could also plausibly show up in a Universal park, obviously.Or, hear me out, don’t built it anywhere and do a new show. Crazy!
no idea, people get paid good money to make up new ideas. I wouldn’t have said Bourne to replace Terminator but it turned out amazing. Just make something new!Serious question: what IP out there right now allows for the same kind of large-scale, effects-heavy stunt show?

Definitely seems like Monsters land as a whole went through concept and development hell for a bit. The end product looks like it will be pretty great though, probably my most anticipated land.Man would I love to hear the whole story on how that Monsters theater show went through so many iterations and concepts just to eventually be canceled altogether. I have seen or heard about no less than FOUR versions of that attraction. And you just know there has to be more.
If that's the case I imagine the show was at least having some degree of development troubles. Given the amount of vacant theatres currently in Universal Orlando, I understand they may only want to move forward with shows they really believe will be a big hit for years to come.Man would I love to hear the whole story on how that Monsters theater show went through so many iterations and concepts just to eventually be canceled altogether.

That's what concerns me about the Werewolf coaster. People keep saying, look at Hagrid's and Velocicoaster, trust UC. But those coasters were years in the planning process. This coaster seems to popped up very late in the planning process.Man would I love to hear the whole story on how that Monsters theater show went through so many iterations and concepts just to eventually be canceled altogether.

Fingers crossed.
I mean, I'd be thrilled with a non-IP adventure stunt spectacular. At the same time, the last time Universal tried a major stunt show not tied to a big studio release... we got Sindbad.no idea, people get paid good money to make up new ideas.
