I have 4 suggestions lol 1.) A ride on the backs of The Eagles during the final battle of Mordor in the vain of Flight of Passage. 2.) A trackless darkride that takes you through the Mines of Moria on a scale similar to Rise of the Resistance. 3.) A heavily themed indoor/outdoor boat attraction that utilizes the latest in projection mapping and features multiple splashdowns. 4.) A walkthrough attraction or darkride with Gollum as your guide as he leads you through dangerous territory and into his final trap in Shelob's Lair.

Artwork of My Hero, Dragon Ball, and Death Note, a One Piece restaurant, a Sailor Moon theater show, and a VR coaster that's had both Attack on Titan and Demon Slayer overlays. Granted most of these have been seasonal overlays and not permanent, however given the amount and variety Universal definitely has some good connections with anime studios over there. I just looked it up and this year they also have collaborations for a monster hunter experience, a "Detective Conan World", and a Hunter Hunter attraction. I'm not a big anime person but given how big anime has become in the states, it's definitely a foot in the door for Universal for a potentially highly lucrative land.

Some sort of ride through Moria would be amazing. And as far as that 7 acre section of land between Nintendo and Universal Monsters, that I still have the very strong feeling towards winding up Legend of Zelda and Pokemon themed. Those are the big Nintendo properties not yet in the parks, and they really need to be.

Pokémon is universally the largest merchandising brand of them all, it’s so big of a company it could have its own park. With that being said, they deserve to at least have an area with a Pokémon Snap safari ride, Rayquaza rollercoaster, Lapras water ride, etc also a Pokémon center store or restaurant. As for Legend of Zelda, also an amazing property, one of the most universally loved gaming experiences and the lore of Zelda is too fun to not explore either. Interactive forests and caves with puzzles, a big Hyrule castle, and Nintendo World will be the greatest thing ever. Donkey Kong Country looks promising too.

You pass by minas tirith, the lonely mountain, and Saruman sends orcs on dragons attack you as you fly near his tower and you come face to face with the eye of Sauron as he covers the entire screen. Now you are in the fires of mount doom and you manage to escape and fly back to Rivendell safe and sound. This would make probably the greatest theme park land next to Harry Potter and marvel island

I would LOVE if LOTR got a land and there seems to be enough here to inspire a bit of hope this might happen. Still though, I will believe it when I see it.

Do not let Disney build it, because Disney will build a place that resembles nothing from the films and will not include ANY of your favorite characters, just like Star Wars Land.

I would CRY if I got to visit a lord of the rings world. More so then when I cried in diagon alley. I really hope this comes to be. Editing to add: Y'all just don't understand how badly I need this to be a really thing to happen. I looooove Harry Potter. I cried the first time I walked into Diagon Alley. Cried. But that would be nothing compared to a LOTR land. If I could visit Rivendell.... I would probably need my inhaler. I can't even imagine what I would do, and how I would react. Please please update us the second you find out more info 🥺

A Forbidden Journey style ride where you ride eagles throughout Middle Earth would be amazing

Would be cool if the land was designed to start in the Shire and end in Mordor, with stops in Rivendell, Moria, etc. Give guests a ring with GPS and you have to do certain quests within each land. The “designated ring bearer” has to put on the ring in certain spots on certain rides, something like that.

I’m not even a Harry Potter fan and the Potter sections of Universal Orlando are amazing. I’m always jealous that those fans (my family) get such a beautiful, immersive world to roam around in. When we were there in March, I was just saying how I wish they would do something similar for Middle-earth.

Oh please, this would be so sick! Part of me is really hoping we get Middle Earth in place of the rumored "How to Train your Dragon" area. The only thing that could make Epic Universe better is if they build Oz!

As long as they stay with the vision of Tolkien and Jackson. The moment they include anything supposedly coming in the Amazon dumpster fire this land will be DOA. With that said, this land and scale would truly make this Park live up to its Epic moniker.

Lord of the Rings park at Universal Studios? Well this is how I hope it will go. Epic Universe: Hobbiton (entrance to the park should have the gates of Argonath) Bree (with the Prancing Pony) Rivendell Isengard Mines of Moria (E ticket attraction) Mordor with The Eye of Sauron (E ticket attraction) (with an animatronic Golem meet an greet & a spotlight used for Sauron) Island of Adventures: (if they replace Toon Lagoon) The Desolation of Smaug (replacing Toon Lagoon) The Lonely Mountain (replacing Dudley Do Right ripsaw falls) The Woodland Realm and the river (retheming the Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-rat Barges) Lake town (replacing the path way surrounding Popeye's boat)

It's not a park - you sound like the dumb media who constantly bleated about a "HP theme park" or the "SW theme park" - it's a LAND within a theme park.

I would be so happy if this comes true… no idea which land should be themed as… maybe Moria… Minas Tirith could be an introduction to a dark ride similar to forbidden journey or smth… then you could “fly” or ride elsewhere while escaping from a battle…

Mario could fill an entire park by itself: you've got the main continuity of Super Mario games; the Mario Kart franchise; Mario Party; Mario Sports... The main layout of the park could be the traditional hub & spoke model, branching out to the most popular lands of the Mushroom Kingdom. Then when it comes time for expansion, you could add a Kart pavilion with various courses inspired by the games (and not like a wimpy Tomorrowland Speedway, where you putter along at the speed of a lawnmower); a Party pavilion with life sized versions of popular mini games; and finally Sports pavilion, where you can play indoor tennis, golf, soccer, and baseball (and every other year, you could do something special for the Summer and Winter Olympics). I'm A goddamn idea machine! here's what I need to see at the opening of the Classic Monsters land: 1) Ricou Browning is the Guest of Honor for the Grand Opening; he played the Gill-Man in all three Creature from the Black Lagoon movies (the swimming sequences, anyway); he's also the last living actor to have played one of the Classic Monsters 2) a larger than life statue dedicated to Lon Chaney, Jr.; not as any character, but the man himself. He was in 10 UCM movies, more than any other actor -- five as Larry Talbot, the Wolf Man; once as Frankenstein's Monster; three times as Kharis, the Mummy; and once as Count Dracula (technically his son, but the title was passed down). He's the only actor to have played all of the "Big Four" monsters 3) a smaller statue dedicated to Dwight Frye, to serve as a tribute to the various character actors who played supporting roles across multiple movies; he's most famous as Renfield in "Dracula" and Fritz in "Frankenstein", but he also had an uncredited role as a reporter in "The Invisible Man", and bit parts in four of the Frankenstein sequels (two of which were just uncredited villagers) 4) Franchises and characters that need to be represented: Dracula -- Count Dracula (both Bela Lugosi and John Carradine), Professor van Helsing; Frankenstein -- The Monster (both Boris Karloff and Glenn Strange), Henry Frankenstein, Ygor; The Mummy -- Kharis, Andoheb (Egyptian mystic turned High Priest of Karnak/Arkam and Kharis' handler), Stephen Banning & Babe Jenson (twice defeated Kharis & Andoheb); The Invisible Man -- Geoffrey Radcliffe (I know that Jack Griffin/Claude Rains was the original, but Vincent Price just has a much more recognizable voice); The Wolfman --Larry Talbot, Maleva the gypsy woman; The Creature from the Black Lagoon -- the Gill-Man, Captain Lucas. 5) even though he was overshadowed by Talbot, some recognition should go to Dr. Wilfred Glendon from "Werewolf of London" 6) if the Phantom of the Opera is featured, he should alternate between the original silent B&W version (Lon Chaney) and the Technicolor remake (Claude Rains)
