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

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.

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

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"

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

In a world without Epic Universe Studios could have been a drastically better park. While these offerings were lost to Epic. In the end though this will be the best move. As it leaves Studios lots of room to still grow while increasing the resort size to compete with Disney World

One of Dinolands problems was its placement back in the park. This time around though imagineering looks to try and fix this by making the land peak into the entrance via the large temple. Making guests aware of it when entering the park and wanting to go and find it
