Universal is in a fascinating situation right now when it comes to how to strategize UOR over the next few years. For starters, there's a desire/need to improve and provide something spectacular to USF. The Rockit replacement paired with BTTF retheme of Supercharged could be just that. Not everything the park needs, but the park being subsidized by special events is just enough for Universal to be ok with its current status and these less impactful additions. Universal also knows that capacity at Epic Universe is not where they want it and need to fast track a project there, which if they start next year gives it a 2028 opening time frame.
And to make matters more interesting, what do they do with 2 major IPs available to them in Wicked and Pokemon? IOA doesn't need anything, but if Pokemon (if it happens) is slated for Springfield... where does that put Wicked? If not FFL, then Lost Continent?

Don't take this timeline as gospel, this is just an example of how Pokemon fits in the broader schedule of UOR's timeline. This timeline assumes that UOR wants each major addition to have its own year for marketing purposes.
F&F is expected in 2027, and a quick <1-year retheme of FF: Supercharged for 2027 (closing in 2026) will work. This will then give USF the capacity it needs to close off Springfield the following year in preparation for Pokemon. Epic Universe, assuming they fast track construction to start next year for
something substantial, will (ideally) put something in the calendar for late 2028. As for Springfield, assuming the land closes early 2028, a 2-year build puts Pokemon at USF in 2030, providing a gap year in 2029 that can then be filled in with IOA's addition of Wicked (or something else).
