Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

[Parkscope Joe]

Uni currently doesn’t have any trackless dark rides in any of its parks right ??? So I guess we will be seeing some of that tech at FW. Compared to Dis it seems that there are not as many ride system innovations or should I say trademarks lurking on the internet.

Kong and F&F are trackless by definition but not in the traditional execution sense.

What ride types and themes should we expect for the new Potter/Beasts world?

 

[Legacy]

It will have nothing to do with the new park. That’s not Mike’s job.

And it likely has nothing to do with HHN. Those houses are mostly designed (or at least, out to the contracted designers) by now.

Sometimes, a book is just a book.

I guess it is his job now...

Either that, or he’s focused on the T2 replacement.

It would be kinda odd seeing a new park built but with open spaces I don’t think universal guests would not like that very much but if that’s what we know will happen then oh well.

Your referring to the expansion pads right ?

If you’re referring to expansion pads, they’re usually hidden from view, and only after knocking down trees and building a new pathway to it, you’d never know it was even there.

You are referring to his tweet about split time?
It was my first thought and that he may be working towards an expanded role in the parks.

Yeah all parks open with expansion pads since.... before Disneyland?

World Showcase is probably the best example of this. I think there is 6?

And FW had 5 at opening in addition to the expansion areas for Communicore.

I also assumed he's moving towards a major role with Creative. That's a good thought. He's a talented man with good tastes.

You can't use that acronym anymore, even less on the thread of the one which owns the acronym now.

Yeah, I was referring to that.

A designer in A&D was promoted to Creative project manager for the new park. Site B is an all-hands affair.

I think theirs only one person who knows that how many worlds or lands the new gate Universal Orlando will have if it’s not called Fantastic Worlds or not. We can say what’s likely to happen. But official will have to come from Comcast/Universal.

Actually, there's like 200 people who know for sure. They've just all signed NDAs.

 

[Imperius]

I mean we’re pretty sure it’s Fantastic Worlds as the leak showed that.

Names change though. Volcano Bay was WonderSea originally. Until it’s announced they may change their mind.

Of course, but I don’t think it’s wrong to say that’s what it’s called at this point in time.

What are the chances of a Waterworld mini-land similar to Beijing coming to the 4th gate as one of the "worlds"? From what I've read, the show would be too loud to conduct at the current resort due to residential areas, but the Lockheed Martin site doesn't seem to have that issue.
