Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

[Disneyhead]

Okay...total shot in the dark:

The "Worlds" will be supersized lands made up of multiple smaller lands and minilands. This has been my running assumption ever since the "Only 4 Lands" thing popped up.

1. Super Nintendo World

-The Mushroom Kingdom
-Donkey Kong Country
-Pokemon Safari Zone
-Expansion Plot​

2. Wizarding World of JK Rowling

-Fantastic Beasts New York
-Fantastic Beasts Paris​

3. World of DreamWorks

-Far, Far Away
-Island of Berk
-Trolls World Tour
-Expansion Plot​

4. Holiday World

-Halloween (Uni Classic Monsters)
-Christmas (Rankin&Bass, Grinch)
​

In my head, the Main St/Hub is a mixture of all the worlds, almost like the intersection of a bunch of different Universes.

I'd also put Hop in Holiday World, just because.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhh. I think Hop is way too unremarkable.

BUT HE POOPS JELLY BEANS!

Just looking at it realistically, Hop will be 12 years old by the time Park 3 opens, and Hop made less than 200 million worldwide. I think the Superstar Parade is about the best Hop can ever hope for.

I am so big picture that I worry most what the central icon will be. I personally would dislike it if it was a Nintendo or any other IP. An original catch-all would probably satisfy me the most.

I don't think the icon will be an IP. Hell, IoA's icon isn't even in the park. So who knows what they're going to do.

Hop was removed from the parade and meet and greets over a year and a half ago when SLoP was added.

I didn't mean a ride, haha. Just a meet and greet in front of the "Easter" shop or something.

Btw, I loathe Hop almost as much as I dislike Russel Brand.

The funny thing is Hop was probably the best part of the parade thanks to the drums.

How about a large Observatory Telescope as the icon, since the park is about different WORLDS.

I mean, if Islands of Adventure can have the Alexandria Lighthouse, something like a giant telescope could work here.

Oh man, make the main street hub into a Victorian sci-fi look out of HG Wells or Jules Verne with a big Observatory in the middle? Yes please.:drool:

 

[Mad Dog]

Maybe a Mickey Water Tower Icon....Whoops, that was used by someone else before.

 

[tielo]

Hmm Icon, we have the gate, a lighthouse and a volcano.
When it's called something World it could be a globe but will confuse people who think it will be as boring as Epcot so that's a no.
I go with my harbor entrance area and hub and the icon could be a nice ship that takes you around the world (it could be an airship like an epic blimp.

 

[Alicia]

...an epic blimp.

Universal Executives: Sold!

 

[JungleSkip]

I think it might have been @Legacy who first said a big airship/blimp would be a really cool icon, and I agree. Either way, I'm now hoping for a Victorian sci-fi hub and main street

 

[quinnmac000]

Hub and Icon being a flying city with "airships"....kinda like what is seen in Bioshock. Pandora counter for the flying mountains. Adds in a transportation aspect. Add a huge telescope/observatory.

It would be unique, timeless, beautiful, and a first.

what are "wife selling movies"

 

[Mike S]

That mindset went out the window after Universal backed out of the LOTR deal. I can’t see them doing that anymore.

Zelda or Pokémon would really help diversify the new park. Also, Nintendo probably wants to keep their IP’s together.

Have any insiders said this?

Also, why do so many pages pop up here between visits? This thread got so popular recently with still barely any info.

The Comcast call confirming the new park seems to have sparked sudden speculation again here.

This thread was pretty dead a couple of weeks ago. I was one of the few who posted here often.

Because it’s a blue sky thread so no new info needed.
