The short version is Transformers is out due to how massive WWOHP phase two will be. It could me so massive that USO could shrink and IOA could grow.

By that I mean HP would expand and take over the Jaws plot. The two phases would be connected by the Hogwarts express!

Second Twister to be replaced by a new King Kong attraction (the old one is in my top five favorite of all time).

If this happens sorry Disney UNI has Avatar beat!

This makes no sense. There's absolutely no reason for them to move WWoHP Phase II to Jaws -- it's the most expensive possible option by far, for no reason since they have plenty of land right now in and around WWoHP they can use.

No news on WWOHP Phase 2 Attractions???

I'm skeptical about that my self. I know the plan was for two attractions but JK didn't like it. I also know that it is now supposed to be massive and that might be the only plot big enough.

While I'm skeptical it would be awesome to ride the Hogwarts express!

I'm looking at the Google Earth image now. This is not going to happen. Ever.

I'm sure nobody thought they would stick an Avatar land in DAK.

Anyway I would tend to agree with you that part won't. HP2 will be massive but it will be located much closer to HP1. There will be some distance however because one of the rumors is that HP2 will be secluded like Rafikis Planet watch. Only way to get there or back is the Hogwarts Express.

I'm not sure how they would pull the train station off with hogwarts express. Dont they already have a train there and a train station in the theme?

It's been a while since I have been over to potter so I could be wrong.

I don't see how this compares to Avatar land. No one predicted an Avatar Land, but we all know where the extra space is in and around AK.

Someone is pranking you. Or this is some fanboy's dream. I'm certain there will be a WWoHP Phase II, but it's not going in Jaws. It's going in the Lost World and possibly some of the backstage area.

Universal has a lot more room for expansion than most people realize. They don't have a Disney-sized chunk of land, obviously, but they have a lot to work with.

You seem to think that I'm diasagreeing with you but I'm not. All I meant was stranger things have happened. But I'll say it again I don't see see how it would work at the Jaws plot.

Again. Any news on Attractions for phase two?

Not the new version. The previous version included a Gringotts indoor coaster which would reside in Diagon Alley. I've also heard some kind of Swing/broom riding attraction.

So it isn't April 1st....

Has anyone who said this rumor ever actually looked at a satellite view of the parks?

Ok, let's say for example they take out the Jaws area and do SOMETHING HP related and have the Hogwarts Express travel to the other park....HOW would they handle admission? Would you only be able to access that other area by going to IOA? What exactly would they put there that's not near Hogsmeade and be worth it?

I'm only replying because its so funny...and this isn't against you Figment632, just the idea, whoever came up with it

 

[Mike730]

I agree that this is completely nuts. There is no way they would spend the money to do this and they really do have plenty of room for expansion if need be right where WWoHP is now. If you look on google maps Jaws and WWoHP are seriously across the property from each other. On the other hand I was sort of underwhelmed when visiting WWoHP my first time so I'd be very very happy with an expansion of some sort. Any ideas mentioned sound awesome.

Again while I don't think this will happen stranger things have happened. For proof of that look to project Gemini.

For those of you that don't know what that is Disney was a pen signature away from getting rid I'd FW in EPCOT. It wad so close to happening it's scary.

So, you're saying they'd take out management offices, production studios, cast parking lot, an opening day ride for a Potter Expansion? I'll believe it when I see it.

So you're saying stranger things have happened by pointing out something that didn't happen?

Also, they weren't a pen signature away from getting rid of Future World -- just the Future World name. Big difference. Much of what we know would have remained, with new attractions to boot. That's not a "stranger thing." That's a Big Idea that just cost too much to implement.

Well hmmm I'd call renaming it getting rid of SSE and putting a coaster infront of TL getting rid of FW.

But what ever you just want to argue. How many times can I say I don't think this will happen? I'd didn't make this up I'm just relaying it.

I'm really spending too much time on DIS this place is crazy.

What's the point in relaying crackpot rumors that even you don't believe?

Really, it's OK to filter from time-to-time.

So you're allowed to post whatever kind of nonsense you want, even if you don't believe in it -- but anyone who dares to respond "just wants to argue?"

If you're spending too much time here, or if you don't like the fact that people can respond, go somewhere else. Seriously. This isn't like some public service obligation.

I appreciate many of your posts but you are WAY too thin-skinned to have this kind of discussion.
