If Monstropolis is as big of a hit as Disney expects I could see them expanding the land with a Monsters University area anchored by a dark ride where you participate in the scare games.

The number of expansions Epic Universe has left is epic! Can’t wait to see this park when it’s fully built out

With the reimagining of the imagination pavilion for a 4th version I wonder if disney will expand the capacity back to its former glory 📸 themeparklore

I love how each Indiana Jones ride will be a unique version and story

What park announcements do you think we could be getting from this years D23?

If I had a nickel every time an epcot pavilion got cancelled and spun off into a themepark I would have 2 nickels. But it is weird it happened twice

Should Universal bring back a bigger better version of World Expo by putting Ghostbusters in the former Fear Factor stadium and building a Back to the Future coaster around the lagoon and backstage or use the space for something else?

Should Soarin' make the versions of the ride randomized or set to specific theaters

The Magic Kingdom isn't just building 2 lands! But restructuring the parks layout to allow for 2 additional lands down the road

Should Universal have built a smaller concept of Universal Kids with high levels of theming but the same price or what they chose to debut? Explore this and more in my new Podcast Episode discussing Universal Kids and what they could do to save it youtu.be/YRq-dR5CydQ

A rumor for the plot of the land being developed near I drive and Epic Universe is a second city walk anchored by Horror Unleashed. If this does come to fruition I wonder if Universal will make Horror Unleashed more of a destination by including a roller coaster over the water

I can't wait to see where Universal Studios Florida will be in a decade. The park is littered with areas that are being replaced, underutilized, an expiring licensing contract, and a massive expansion plot

After Monstropolis opens should Disney replace laugh floor with an expanded space ranger spin or another type of attraction? Pic by Parklore

Coasters, Dark rides, Flat rides, Simulators, Boat rides, and Shows Universal Creative have mastered them all. But there is one type of ride system they haven’t and barely touched. A drop tower, could it be next or the left in the dark to continue innovation of what they know?!

Park Mind @aparkmind.bsky.social · 11/05/2026
While I do miss twister I greatly appreciate the improved facade the replacement brought to the park and I would love it see the remaining fragments of this older cheaper look at Universal Orlando updated to match the parks modern standards seen in a lot of the newer offerings

Epic Universe doesn't need the extra dinning. But what it does is more capacity, especially indoor ones. Making this building originally intended for a restaurant a dark ride would be a great pivot and quick fix to the already spent capital. Base Image by @bioreconstruct.bsky.social

In the decade leading up to Epic Universe Universal drastically improved every aspect of the resort. Now that Epic Universe is open Universal didn’t let their foot off the gas but speed it up. They aren’t playing to be second place but on a path to dethrone Disney

It is possible to bring Fan Fest to Universal Orlando without using the spaces for houses used during HHN

Park Mind @aparkmind.bsky.social · 25/04/2026
Should Universal Orlando remove part of the lagoon at IOA near Hogsmeade and expanded the Wizarding world with an elaborate wand and character area while also building a themed wall to separate Hogsmeade from Velocicoaster

If Islands of Adventure was built today what properties do you think it would include

I am surprised Disney World hasn't built another park on the massive Magic Kingdom Parking lot yet

Park Mind @aparkmind.bsky.social · 12/04/2026
While the changes to Buzz Lightyear weren't much, one major win Disney did implement was updating the user interface to be with todays gaming standards

Park Mind @aparkmind.bsky.social · 11/04/2026
It will be intresting to see what the new legacy store facade and interior will look like and if it will incorporate previous enhancements like the LED screens

Park Mind @aparkmind.bsky.social · 06/04/2026
With universal expediting new additions to Epic Universe to meet the demand I wonder when a parade will be greenlit it is in the long term plans and would be a fast way to improve the park lineup while longer term solutions like new rides get built

2 different eras of Disney Parks😭

I hope disney has their new small mobile animatronics behind lock and key backstage. Because with someone managing to steal buzzy it is a lot easier to just pick up olaf and put him on a truck

If United Parks and Entertainment are forced to rethemed the sesame theme parks. A better move may be to sell them to another operator like universal who could be allowed to use the sesame characters and bring in their own as well and make it a universal kids park

Disney has developed massive improvements to projected animatronic faces yet chose to leave the version from 1998 untouched during a massive refurbishment 😭

Park Mind @aparkmind.bsky.social · 14/03/2026
What if Disney made the country bear jamboree a dinner show. The regular show could still play during the day but during the evenings guest could enjoy an exclusive version of the show while enjoying a meal. The infrastructure is there just the seating would need to be modified

Park Mind @aparkmind.bsky.social · 14/03/2026
Was thinking of the best use of this land and I would love if Cat In The Hat connected to Port Of Entry as a How to Train your dragon book report dark ride with hiccup sharing the story to others. To keep the Suess landing draw a Mount Crumpit coaster would be built as well

Park Mind @aparkmind.bsky.social · 05/03/2026
With Rock in Roller coaster losing the Aerosmith theme their is one licensed ride left at Disney World. While the tower of terror has its fans I believe the majority of guests just like it as a highly themed drop tower. Making me wonder if tower of terror is next.

There is enough room in Celestial Park To build a substantia dark ride like one themed to Captain Cacao. the only catch is the restrooms would need to be relocated or built around. For reference secret life of pets is 20,645 sqr feet

While Universal Hollywood isn't able to get a 2nd theme park with the land of the golf course next door. What if they bought and built it on the park and section of houses next door to its current resort? It would be pricy but provides universal and the city more value in the end

Animal Kingdom could be one of the best theme parks in the world if Disney continued to Invest in major additions to it. Instead, it just got one a decade. Hopefully this time it will be different

After Universal Themeparks Exhibition ends it run at the Franklin Institute I could see it touring to other big cities before being given a permeant home at Universal Orlando as the preview centers replacement

Park Mind @aparkmind.bsky.social · 31/01/2026
Surprised Disney has not built a permeant stage show in the Discovery River. They could build one on the level of fantasmic and already have the seating built for it.

Park Mind @aparkmind.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
I agree, plus if they do go the new system route we could even see jaws come back

Supercharge is finally closing for good! But while the screen based aspect of the ride gets a lot of hate. Its underlying problem was how it was presented leading to hate while Skull Island received praise. It will be interesting to see if universal will try this system again or opt for a new medium

Park Mind @aparkmind.bsky.social · 18/01/2026
Universal has officially debuted a form of an open hub! While not for Epic Universe this could be a great way to test the waters and eventually debut it there as well down the road

Universal Kids is designed for a smaller demographic but its implications on the brand look to also be used as a testing ground. One such example of this is the Senior Specialist of Internal Communications at the resort Brian Bender saying he is "building a communications program from the ground up"

Park Mind @aparkmind.bsky.social · 03/01/2026
Surprised Universal hasn't built a permeant or seasonal Blumhouse attraction given Comcasts stake in the company and continued success as houses. I would love to explore some of the behind the scenes magic that takes to make and then transport guest into the worlds

Park Mind @aparkmind.bsky.social · 03/01/2026
Falcons Flight is an impressive feat of engineering but I have to wonder if it was worth it? At a certain point the difference in speed and coaster elements becomes marginal in terms of enjoyment. As a result I wish they made the coaster extremely themed instead of just novel

Rest in Peace Adam the Woo. I was never able to meet him in person but his personality and love for the vlogging craft shined through the screen. R.I.P.

Could Horror Unleashed come to Atlanta, NYC, and Philly? The locations plus Chicago were picked for the Epic Universe portal tour after careful research. Such analytics would have a similar application for a Horror Unleashed venue with Chicago already being confirmed for one

What are your thoughts, comments, or concerns on artificial intelligence in general and or how it relates to the themed entertainment industry? I will answer them as someone I would consider to be a professional on the matter and loves the entertainment industry

If Horror Unleashed and the Netflix House are both still performing well in 5 years I could see Universal building a Horror Unleashed variant for Fan Fest

Over the last decade Hollywood Studios saw a massive changes to its park and Disney isn't done. I wonder what will remain in the next decade and how sacred they view the remaining portion of it
