Middle Earth coming to UOR?

Got to love the Disney fan boys in the comments. "Man, I really wish Disney would build it, not Universal. Universal builds everything too small. At least Disney invests in space." Yep so you would rather a single, lacklustre ride that is half the quality, but still decent, or a few ride of rides that push boundaries.

The comments in itself are mind numbing

You can tell that Andrew Sims is appreciative of OU's insiders, especially when he calls our content "mind-numbing".

Should we really be linking to his content then? Just sayin.....

So, if this were to happen, is it likely Toon Lagoon will get cut from the park? It'd be a shame to lose Popeye and Dudley though...

No, it would go somewhere majorly different

Majorly different? Intersting... would it be going somewhere new (cast parking) or would it have to replace something else.. if it's even in IoA.

No, it would go somewhere majorly different

So is "Majorly" a play on words, like as in a new location along Major Blvd?

Uni gonna cave to the mouse?

The "Site That Shall Not Be Named" now has a whole article up concerning this topic.

I can't believe how everyone is crediting "the site that SHALL NOT be named" as for discovering this info. OU discovered it first.

The whole article is pretty much a paraphrase of my first post here. Haha. Eric did throw in the "entirely new park" thing that he gleened from some posts over at WDWMAGIC.

If guys at Universal laid another "Permanent Haunt" type trail of crumbs they have to be laughing their a$$es off. If there is any validity to the info they are probably mad as ****.

Either way, I bet this twisted the Mouse's tail into a knot.

I think that building an attraction based on Mordor would be do-able; I feel that Saurons Tower could easily be a drop ride named "Barad dûr-op" (‘dûr-op’ when spoken out loud sounds like ‘drop’- just a little bit of a play of words there for ya).

Here is a map below showing what I envisioned a theme park portrayal of Middle Earth - the Shire and Mordor - to look like (Bag End Barrel Adventure is a Log Flume [the map doesn’t show it very clearly, right click and 'Open image in new tab' to see an enlarged version]).



A dining in Mordor experience however would be very hard to theme IMO, all I could come up with was Orcish Offal...

Get rid of Marvel and put in LOTR there; Fearfall can become your drop ride.

Better yet, get rid of Port of Entry while you're at it and make the lighthouse Sauron. (Note: I don't really want them to get rid of Marvel or PoE.)

This is probably a stupid question, but which site "will not be named"?
