Let's play being head of Universal Creative...

As much as I love Waterworld and never want it to leave, this would be a perfect fit for the park and land.

UNIVERSAL'S ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE (POKEMON EDITION)
View attachment 27961

NEEDS: Additional Entertainment Offerings, Indoor Experiences, Family-Friendly Experiences

PORT OF ENTRY

• The park's entrance is slightly updated to relocate ticket booths off to the side (where the touch screen kiosks are) and the talking fountain from Lost Continent to add some fun/unique kinetic energy at the front. Planters replace the previous ticket booth locations.
• A small stage is added at the Ocean Trader Market to provide live entertainment and kinetic energy. Lots of seating to relax and chill.
• A new bar/lounge is located by the waterfront (across Cinnabon/Starbucks) with unique beverages and entertainment.

MARVEL SUPERHERO ISLAND

• I'd do a massive overhaul of the land aesthetically, but it's not a pressing concern so I won't for this blue sky version.
• However, Cafe 4 is replaced with a lounge with "super" drinks. The arcade is replaced with proper M&G areas.

BIKINI BOTTOM (TOON LAGOON)

• Most of the infrastructure here will remain as is. This is simply a major cosmetic overhaul. Comic Strip Cafe converted to Krusty Krab, the shops along TL's main street are converted to Spongebob/Patrick/Squidward's houses. Chum Bucket replaces Gasoline Alley.
• A Zamperla Watermania (similar to the Universal Kids project) replaces Wimpy's.
• Dudley is replaced with Boating School themed flume. (same ride system)
• Popeye's is replaced with Jellyfish Fields Rapids (same ride system)
• A dark ride replaces the Amphitheatre (or keep it for a show).

JURASSIC PARK

• JP arch added to both the Kong side and the Lost Continent bridge.

THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER - HOGSMEADE

• Great Hall Restaurant - replaces the physical footprint of Pizza Preddatoria with access by the FJ locker area. FJ no longer needs as much extended queue space, so part of that area is converted to a check-in/lobby area for the restaurant.

POKEMON ISLE (THE LOST CONTINENT)

• The land is split between a more city environment (closest to Seuss) and a exotic locale closer to Hogsmeade. A dark ride replaces Posiedon Fury (an interactive Journey Into Imagination-esque ride system) that can stop and go between major scenes. Lots of animatronics.
• A show is placed at the Sinbad stage where something goes wrong in the middle of a battle.
• Poke Dex interactive item is sold to "capture" Pokemon (and throughout the parks/resort).
• For right now I'm assuming they're keeping the Sinbad stage show.

MYTHOS

• Couldn't figure out a way to make a Pokemon fine-dining restaurant work, so I just kept Mythos. A small planter/berm is located between Pokemon and Mythos to separate it.

SEUSS LANDING

• Seuss Theatre - will be a similar setup to Epic Universe's The Untrainable Dragon which relies on project tech to overlay colors/design on physical sets. That way, we can reduce the downtime between seasons so Grinchmas can operate here.
• Cat in the Hat gets a decent Fantasyland dark ride style overhaul with improved animatronics, effects and projections.

OVERALL

• A new Nighttime Spectacular Fantastic Stories takes place each night at the central lagoon. This will be different compared to Universal's previous nighttime spectacular that rely on film clips/projections. This show will rely more on pyro and lighting to tell a story. A central "compass" barge/island is created to handle the equipment needed. While viewable throughout the park, the main locations are Port of Entry, Marvel, Toon Lagoon and Mythos back patio. Fireworks launch above Spider-Man, Forbidden Journey and Pokemon show-buildings for a 360-degree experience.

Lol, the PokeDex would make Universal STUPID money. Wand level numbers. Different styles, colors, etc. Personalize them.

Good lord a Pokemon land would print money

As much as I love Waterworld and never want it to leave, this would be a perfect fit for the park and land.

And as far as sight-lines and "hiding" a show building cleverly, having what would look like the backside of a classic drive-in theater screen there would be perfect for concealment and a great thematic landmark for the Hollywood area.
