Do yourself a favor and visit Fun Spot next time you're in Orlando. White Lightning is what you're looking for.
Oh I’ve done WL. Great ride.

Every film is in an entirely different nation, giving the opportunity for a variety of experiences, looks and feelings. (Alongside nation specific characters, locations and creatures) showing these different nations is already done successfully in the wizarding world lands, with lands for magic Scotland (hogsmede) and England (Diagon Alley) already.Personally, I think these are four really strange properties to base a cohesive "universe" on, but I know each has their fans. I really do wonder if Fantastic Beasts has the extension power that the other lands have... In other words, if there was to be another attraction in those areas, I can easily see a Zelda, Pokemon, Kirby, or Animal Crossing land grafted onto the Mushroom Kingdom. Berk could flow into a number of Dreamworks properties, like Shrek's Far Far Away and Madagascar. I can even see Monsters getting VERY different attractions on behalf of the Black Lagoon, the Opera, the Woods... etc...
But what is the extension of Fantastic Beasts? It would be the same characters, different city. Once they choose the city, they're kinda stuck, though, aren't they?
The Celestial Garden (is that right?) seems to be a great location for a Space Fantasy, and could function as the Overworlds in Kingdom Hearts do - you "fly" over to different worlds and unlock their stages. Kinda. A ride in the center could explain the lore or whatever transport system will be used in the park. Rosalina from Super Mario Odyssey could be a great excuse for the galaxy-hopping, too. The attractions here also seem to have potential to grow --- but I'm truly feeling a lack of expansion possibility for Fantastic Beasts... Hm.
Here's a wild idea.
In addition to a preview center, you retheme the mini golf at CityWalk with each hole based around a new attraction.
You know how sometimes, the 18th hole has a near impossible shot with a crazy prize? Make the impossible shot for the chance to win an opening day ticket and stay at the new hotel.
Also, for what it’s worth, I think I was able to make out the Montmartre land building having a taller portion primarily obscured by the fireworks, where that drop tower I really hope is in epic universe could be
*gasps* HOLD UP. I just had a revelation!
So, if Universal's building a drop tower ride, the building will probably be vertical. But if the exterior is designed to look like a parisian boulevard, how will they disguise the tower to make sure it doesn't break immersion?
The Answer: The Eiffel Tower!! EUREKA!!!
I just realized to the right, the portion of the outdoor FB land towards the side where the drop tower building is, there’s some forced perspective thing we’ve known forever on top of the Montmartre building. I think it could be to hide the ride building! :O*gasps* HOLD UP. I just had a revelation!

I don't know if it's going to be that tall...I'm expecting more the elevators in Transformers*gasps* HOLD UP. I just had a revelation!

It's not just Fantastic Beasts, it's more of the Wizarding World, which has endless possibilities.
I see where you are going but I think they are fine for expansions to all the lands and they have space for a 5th if a poweful enough IP comes along.
The show building seems to go pretty far up in the art in the ride portion. Plus, looking at the patent, I think the ride will be mega tall. Is common speculation that the drop tower will be newts case or what?I don't know if it's going to be that tall...I'm expecting more the elevators in Transformers
Well, they hide the elevated ceiling on the Gringotts show building pretty well so I'm not concerned.If they wanted another locale in FB i could see a floo powder themed walkway being cool like the Mario pipes

Specifically under the fireworks I was able to make out a taller portion.Well, they hide the elevated ceiling on the Gringotts show building pretty well so I'm not concerned.
Looking at the hotel and comparing, this looks to be average height...but the fireworks could be hiding a giant tower of some kind haha
Don't make out in public I always saySpecifically under the fireworks I was able to make out a taller portion.
