How many themed stunt shows you think will be in the fourth gate like 2 at the most if they come.

Oh well.......number of screens/3D based attractions in the fourth gate if you had to guess?

Well just hope Universal Orlando got the message that it’s becoming a bit too much.

If this parks has lands with SNW, How To Train Your Dragon, Shrek, Trolls, KFP, and Classic Monsters and you’re disappointed then I don’t know what to tell you. That’s a strong line up with a ton of theming elements and opportunity for great ride ideas.

While not "disappointed," I do think that exact lineup is a little animation-heavy for my taste. Which is probably why I'm a bigger proponent of Fantastic Beasts showing up in addition than most others here are.

Are we thinking any live shows at all?

No clue, TBH. I guess I could see them bringing a version of the touring HTTYD AA/Puppet show in. Maybe something Trolls? Who knows.

Considering their record with live action shows lately, I wouldn't be expecting more than 1.

Just for the sake of variety, I would hope we would get at least one.

I would definitely be in favor of the HTTYD CreatureTech show. That's something that could actually get me into a theater

Trolls sing-a-long, Barney style, would probably pull in the kiddos too. I still haven't seen the movie, so I can't say I'd be in line myself though.

HTTYD, maybe WaterWorld/Zelda? Parades. Probably an original show.

I would laugh at Waterworld being plopped down with no discernible connection to anything since Orlando is the only park without it.

I don't think a Zelda stunt show would be good. Like at all.

What about that puzzle theater from the patents? It could use live actors somehow.

...I dunno. I think that concept was...odd to say the least from what little we know if it. But as an obnoxious Zelda fanboy, I just don't see how a live action show could work for the property at all.

I'd be all-in on WaterWorld, whether it really fits anywhere in the park or not!

Parades, I can take or leave. I recognize the appeal for some guests and the value they can bring to a park, but parades are not "real" attractions in my book. Parade time means a great time to be doing something else!

What little could be discerned about this attraction when we first heard about it had me intrigued.

Parades (with the exception of Universal's Holiday Parade featuring Macy's) and live action shows have not worked out too well at Universal Orlando so I hope they don't try to force the idea in the new park. Let Mickey have them...

Universal can't just give up on shows. WaterWorld is great and T2:3D was a stunt show with screenz. They've also had some strong mini and street shows, as well as some duds. Disney Magic isn't real, people made their shows. It's just a matter of Universal getting the right people to make their shows too. They do need to include cheezy general appeal jokes, but they don't need to be on the level of a county fair. They're a freaking top tier movie company, it's not impossible for them to get good scripts.

They're on a good streak. The lagoon show is excellent. The new Macy's Parade is excellent, better than Mickey's Christmas Parade plus better floats. . The upgraded Grinchmas show is as good, if not better, than any stage show at WDW.

I'm down for WaterWorld being in the new park. It's probably the best thing Universal hasn't cloned to Orlando (SNW and Beijing aren't open yet).

If they can recreate the magic that is the Hollywood Horror Makeup show in the new park it will be enough for me. Such effortless talent to adapt and present the show is rare today. Script rules all with little room for improv.

UO A&D department weakness is high quality and lengthy stage shows. HHN great, Nighttime show, pretty darn good...They really need to pull some of their English speaking art directors from Japan to Florida for street entertainment and stage shows.
