3. Universal Fantastic Worlds

Though Universal has only ever offered a firm "no comment" when it comes to its massive Real Estate purchase from the day before Christmas in 2015, their plans to build new theme parks on this land has been a very poorly-kept secret for several years now, with the new park plans being quietly confirmed inside Comcast's second-quarter 2018 financial results. And though we still don't have any official announcement for the public about this upcoming park, areal photographs show that land clearing for this new park has been completed in recent months, which means vertical construction should begin soon.
Though we don't know much about the theme or what kinds of attractions will be featured as part of this new park, last year the name "Fantastic Worlds" was leaked after a business meeting with Universal Orlando Resort parent company Comcast. And as you can see, this leaked logo features Mario, which has fueled speculation that the original plan for Nintendo World inside Universal Studios Florida has been scrapped, with construction on this new land now moving to this new park.

Though Universal has only just started construction on this new park, they have quietly been making plans with the City of Orlando for transportation facilitation, and will hopefully have a launch window for this upcoming park in the near future.
Comments
Terminator 2 3-D has and will always be missed. I as there a week before they closed the doors, and even though it was a bit dated (I welcome a change), I'd be lying if I said that it wasnt emotional. I heard it was heavily rumored to be a Star Trek or a Jason Bourne experience. Now I'm only hearing reports about Jason Bourne. Although that's interesting, I feel Star Trek would've been a better choice between the two. Star Trek vs. Starwars Land. Still, these are just rumors and what I've heard.
