The Future of Lost Continent

It needs something huge.

I completely agree, but I think we have a lot of evidence at this point to suggest that Universal doesn't agree with us.

I think this is much more about finding the right IP/lands/attractions which fit at USF, rather than throwing whatever big name IP they get the rights to.

Though that was a crazy few months when we thought Pokemon was replacing KZ.

I think it really comes down to HOW they're planning to do Pokemon. If it was going to be a city/Tokyo setting, it fits for USF.

If they do what I would personally want (safari/small town/village setting), it fits WAY better in IOA.

While USF definitely needs some love, I can understand the resort prioritizing the replacement of the land with 2 abandoned attractions. I do think USF's time for major additions will come, but adding new experiences where Sindbad and Poseidon's Fury once resided is adding capacity in a location that isn't being properly utilized.

Zelda movie in 2027, new Zelda game probably being hyped around that time, Zelda land 2028/2029.

Pokémon should replace Simpsons.

Even more reason to put it in USF for variety.

I think it has to do with timing more than anything. Lost Continent is the next area they want to replace, and Pokémon is the next new IP that they want to integrate into the resort. Even though Zelda has a major film coming up, Pokémon is still the larger IP overall.

If they have to put Wicked anywhere, put it in Lost Continent. It fits the best at Islands IMO. That can go first, then they can replace Simpsons with Pokémon to give Studios a much needed shot in the arm that will probably triple attendance.

THEN, probably in the early 30’s we can get Zelda as the first major Epic expansion. I feel like it demands that kind of space and premium treatment, even more than Wicked and Pokémon which are more straightforward in terms of “well obviously this is how you’d build a theme park land for that.”

Of course, I’m not Universal and they’ll probably do this completely differently because their priorities are different.

Studios is the last park Pokémon fits
