News Round Up 2017

I don't know that I would call them huge IPs, but I keep waiting for Universal to do more with the DreamWorks stuff. Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar, and the favorite in our house- How to Train Your Dragon for example....

Would that be a possibility?

I think it's gonna take more...

The thing about Harry Potter and Star Wars...is it seems all ages can appreciate/enjoy it. So those more than I can think of lend better to a full park concept. I don't know what else would cross those lines to get a full park.

I agree. I don't think there's a single answer for Universal. It would be great if they tapped into DreamWorks in addition to expanding on Harry Potter both in the parks and with a hotel. That, in addition to a really well done (hopefully) Nintendo World certainly has my interest and would give them the opportunity to get all ages covered.

I think that could be part of a park. It feels like for Universal the parks aren't that distinct anymore so if they open a 3rd gate it might have a different "theme" or something for the general contruct, but I suspect similar IPs could be used there as are used elsewhere.

You could do another Harry Potter land (maybe based around the Ministry of Magic as the location - maybe think of some way of having a "floo" system to take you to the other HP lands) - or it could be around Fantastic Beasts and where to find them
Do more Nintendo
Dreamworks
Classic Monsters (they are trying to reboot these and create like a monsters universe (like the MCU) - though the first, the Mummy, didn't perform so well at the box office)
 

Just a little side tracked on the new SW land...

I ended up kind of yelling (not really, but yeah) at an imagineer at the pavilion over the weekend. The guy giving the speech said that the Falcon is owned by some crappy other trader. Now, I don't know if the timeline is supposed to be before Force Awakens...but I mean, it can't really right because the Falcon was probably on Jakku most of that time.

Chewie would never get rid of the Falcon, so I have no idea what it is doing there. That detail really bothered me (remember, unreasonably big sw fan here).

Well, there has to be a reason it is on this outer rim planet and a reason that "you" (the guest) are piloting it ... so maybe it isn't owned by Chewie at this point :confused3 If that is the case though I hope that is made clear to guests what is going on - rather than that CM/Imagineer just talking out of his tookus

The Imagineer definitely seemed to have his facts straight. He was standing by the model giving a speech on exactly what was going on with this city.He said the Falcon was owned by another smuggler and it was part of his fleet. Now...I did ask if Lando owned it and was not answered (that would be ok with me). I also had to wonder if we'd be stealing the Falcon from him and giving it back to Chewie.
