I desperately want to see the Universal Monsters maintain a presence somewhere in the park. Maybe a tribute to them could replace Lucy…?

And of course the big portion for expansion is the large area only seen to guest during HHN, that’s to the right of MIB and left of Simpsons.

The area can also be reached if Curious George was demolished.

Can anyone say Dreamworks Land? Transylvania?

Another area for small expansion is the portion of the lagoon beyond the bridge from Simpsons to old amity.

The lagoon area could be filled in or put a “barge” that holds a good sized ferris wheel which would compliment the upcoming spinner in Springfield for more family rides in the park.

What I think might work for everyone is reface Twister and the Metroplis Tribune to resemble Broadway (fits for New York)

Have either two attractions with two theater entrances and for Wicked and extended entrance underneath Rip Rockit to one of the Soundstages for the Show

Plan B would be a reworked Twister as a Preshow for the Wicked Stage Show

I’ve only visited Universal Studios Japan once, but when I was there, I really dug the whole “Wicked” land they had (temporarily) going on. If Universal did something to even slightly replicate that feel and topography, I’d be all for it — and it would be a wonderful complement to Springfield and London, methinks.

Robert suggested that Wicked should be opened in the soundstage next to Twister (see number 6 in this post). What do you think of that idea?
