This will be exciting to see unfold but unless there is significant Potter, might be one and done for us. Not really a big fan of Fantastics Beasts, either. Not to mention extremely expensive adding in a 3rd park on a pass.

Not to mention extremely expensive adding in a 3rd park on a pass. Will be classed as 4th even though I’m still refusing to call Volcano Bay a 3rd park Nothing more than “Wizarding World” so could be FB could be HP. I hope for HP but what part would they build that fits with existing areas at Uni/IoA? |

Dan_Mol That is true but I think the same way, doesn't really count, lol. Hoping for HP as well. They've been talking about the Ministry but then that was rumored to go where FF is, if at all. It'd be nice if there was another Potter restaurant, was hoping for Madam Puddifoot's in IoA. We shall see.

Merry McSparkles Grimes the hotel is located extremely close to the rumoured wizards area. Certain it won’t be a land themed hotel but imagine a HP room looking over a HP land. Will be great to follow a full park being built from scratch especially with todays social media. Photos from IoA but not as readily available as any recent construction.

The construction area is easily visible from the Icon Wheel (previously called the "Orlando Eye")
I will have to start doing rides every few months...

It's location, you can't really hide any of it from anything/anyone especially with height. Maybe better views from the star flyer or sling shot ChuckPlagmann? |

I just can’t get interested in Epic Universe at all & doubt I will ever go there. I think US is the main park I like.

Dan_Mol. I really like Bio and A Stella. I enjoy anything with spoilers! I really like the episodes with patents, too!

If Fantastic Beasts goes into Epic, spoilers won't bother me at all. I don't like the franchise so I won't care

Just listened to Alicia Stella - she said that the permits for the project slated for Fear Factor Live area have been canceled - permits were initially held up with EPA and things like that but now the project reads "canceled". At the same time, permits that have laid low in Epic for the proposed Potter area have recently been paid and approved. There is talk that they will scrap the idea of the virtual broom ride altogether as Universal was apparently taken aback by Warner Bros implementation of the two experiences at the HP Store in NYC. But I don't really get that as they open rides in Hollywood and Orlando that are the same. Well, glad I got/get to do the experiences in the city because they were unbelievable. Flying through the Castle grounds and all over and interacting with "things" going on was the best. They could just create new areas, places in the films to fly. All rumors, but Alicia is very reliable with her info.
