What is this and why do I want it so bad

It would surprise me to see an entire land dedicated to it, but it would not surprise me at all to see an attraction somewhere at the resort.

If thats the case, then Springfield makes far more sense than Epic. But at the same time the fact there hasn't really been anything announced as far as future films does not really bode well for it getting an attraction. This is why my mind is leaning more towards Shrek right now. At least there is hype behind Shrek 5 along with plans for the Donkey spinoff.

I could be wrong but the most I see them utilizing Wicked for is a stage show.

This makes the most sense to me. Something along the lines of Beauty and the Beast at DHS.

DCA’s announced Avatar boat ride. Which is rumored to be indefinitely paused or cancelled.

If this is hinting at Jaws being in consideration for the Simpsons replacement, I guess the folks at Creative would much rather have Wicked go to Epic so they can do the IP justice which is the right call in my book vs cramming it in Springfield. But at this rate I would much rather have Universal expand Shrek into this area as that is an IP that deserves much more than a play set.

Anything other than LotR in the major expansion plot at Epic will be a travesty.

Outside of potter, there isn’t another IP in existence made for a dedicated theme park land (though something like Avatar, due to scale, surprised us all).

It MUST happen.

Do we really see Wicked happening? I feel like the first movie did great and then everything petered out. I don’t see people clamoring for it.

Oz, in and of itself. Even if the classic locations- emerald city or munchkinland are ripe for theme parks regardless of what people are clamoring for. Make a great ride and the people will love it.

Also one of the better IPs for a stage show. Whether that be a condensed wicked or a newly created one.

My only thing is it would look stupid across the pond.

Jack from DSNY Newscast even said it's possible they could be pivoting to Zootopia for the backlot. But I'll guess we'll see come D23.

After riding the submarine ride at Tokyo DisneySea, I am 100% on the "new Jaws ride in a submersible" train. I think it could work really well even if it's a bit of a departure from a typical boat.

One of the rumored reasons is they don’t want to maintain a water boat ride.
