Yeah I don’t see that at all. Wizard of Oz is far down the popularity scale IMO.I'm telling you all this could be a big hit for Universal if Warner Bros lets them do it. Right up there with Harry Potter and Nintendo

They did a Land of Oz at Universal Japan years ago and removed it...

I have seen the Broadway show twice, loved it...Would love a Wicked film to be successfulThe movie is coming out in December 2019. Wicked was based on a book, but in the workshops, the directors realized that audiences enjoyed the references to the 1939 film the most and any other references went over their head. Wicked did what they could, even including bits of the songs from the 1939 film. Also, even the ruby slippers are hinted/shown in the show.
I respect what you are saying. I just wanted to point out about basing investment on public domain stories. Disney made a career of making movies and more based on public domain fairy tales. It worked out pretty well.At the same time, would they really want to invest so much money into a story that is now public domain just for select imagery.
I outlined this in a previous statement. The Emerald City would have a soarin like ride, where you fly over Oz and see the vast landscape while encountering some of your favorite characters. The Witches castle would have some type of water raft ride, all based around the epic chase that happens in the castle. Ending in a melting Wicked Witch animatronic.What’s the attraction for OZ?
Saying that gay people typically like the wizard of Oz is like saying the sky is blue. It’s a great movie and fantasy story- gay or not. If homosexuals are prone to liking it, then they just have good taste in movies.I apologise if this seems offensive and I really don't mean it to be but a Wizard of Oz land could be a huge hit with gay days at Universal.
I agree- it’d be hugeI'm telling you all this could be a big hit for Universal if Warner Bros lets them do it. Right up there with Harry Potter and Nintendo
Disney and more: Gary Goddard's " The Wonderful World of OZ " Theme Park ProjectWhat’s the attraction for OZ?
Yeah...
If they do a "Wicked" based Oz land, there's a ton of variations they can do with the aesthetic and story.
For example, the Emerald City isn't ACTUALLY green. The Wizard directs everyone to wear the green glasses in an effort to hide its dinginess. There's also Animals (anthromorphic animals), and sections with a decided steampunk feel.
Nevermind that Shiz (the school) would likely be a better land with a ride to and through the Emerald City.
But a Wicked show, a Fiyero or Glinda flat-ride, an Emerald City dark ride, an Elphaba coaster, a Shiz counter-revolutionary restaurant and an Ozdust Ballroom sit-down restaurant could fill a land easy.
Only in the book version of the Wizard of Oz the Emerald City isn't actually green. In Wicked it's a fashion statement, also symbolic of how the people are blinded.I thought they say "It's all grand, and it's all green" in the One Short Day song
I love the play on "rose colored glasses" though
Emerald City would have to be green though, you know, help it stand out
That's right. It's been so long sense I read either. I just remembered the Emerald City wasn't actually green.Only in the book version of the Wizard of Oz the Emerald City isn't actually green. In Wicked it's a fashion statement, also symbolic of how the people are blinded.
