I definitely agree that the name is an interesting choice, but I'm sure we'll all get used to it over the next few years. The artwork looks pretty incredible!

Universal did not give a timeline or any IP that will be in this park.

Any unique transportation between parks outside of Universal busses on public roads?

All we got was 14,000 jobs created at a 15/hr starting rate, a new park, and the name. No other details.

Seems odd to not even announce one IP that would be in the park, especially with Nintendo already out there.

MUCH better picture, and... I still have no idea what's what. Any detectives here? I can't even figure out where Nintendo World is (lower right, maybe?).

Yeah very weird to just not say anything about even a timeframe or some vague details about what will be in the land. I know things change but give us something lol.

I get that this is still a huge announcement - but the execution feels like a dud. ALL that hype to announce something everyone had already figured out? Then they won't answer questions about theme or timing? Ok...
