- The question we are all wondering... What Comes Next For Universal Islands of Adventure? Will they build the rumored Zelda themed area at Universal Islands of Adventure in the coming years? With Universal's Epic Universe opening in 2025, we have to wonder, what will Islands of Adventure add next to follow up the amazing Hagrids Motorbike Adventure & Jurassic World Velocicoaster! I share my thoughts & predictions on what I think Universal will do, and it will blow the competition out of the water!
If Universal would add this new themed area and include the attractions that I share in this video, then watch out, because it would be a massive move.
What do you think about my ideas & predictions? Will Universal ever re-theme their Lost Continent area of the park? Be sure to let me know in the comments!

:DDDDDD
It’s crazy how amazing IOA is, arguably one of the best parks in the world, even with that much unused space in the park just sitting there for years
It’s wild! Just wait till
Epic opens, there willl be even more room left!
That will be cool
I'm a huge theme park fan, and a lifelong Zelda lover. No other video game will ever compare. I don't care which Zelda title it would be themed to. Something that covers all or most of the Zelda stories could be the best themed area in the history of theme parks. Throw in an Intamin coaster and some dark rides and I would probably have to move my family to Orlando! Also a Lost Woods interactive type attraction would be awesome for families to wander around and explore!
I think you should be working for universal creative sir!! 😂😂👌🏽
Same! It is a literal lifelong dream come true
A water Dark Ride, themed to the Water Temple from Zelda, I think would be great for the old Posiedon Attraction. They could even keep the water tunnel for it!
That's a great idea. Universal never did try to take on Pirates of the Caribbean.
Turn Poseiden's fury into a walk through of the Lakebed Temple from Twilight Princess. The final room could be the boss battle against Morpheel.
No
Which Water Temple? lol
@@dannielz6 Kung Fu Panda in Beijing: Am I a joke to you?
The area would be themed to Kakariko Village from breath of the wild which has a kind of folksy Japanese medieval feel and it is surrounded by low but steep sugar loaf limestone mountains like halong bay or yangsho in China. Village Houses would be shops & eating venues, walk in archery games etc mini dark rides if you like. Maybe even a cooking demonstration. There Would be a little glade off to one side with the master sword for photo opportunities, and another zig zag path to a Sheikah shrine which would be entrance to the showpiece dark ride which would be trackless and send cars into set pieces, big duel stage pre show with link waking up from hibernation and Zelda briefing him and you and a shrine deity intriguing the trial to come. And closing it perhaps followed by a calamity fight with gannondorf or something. There would also be an airtime filled coaster threaded all around the themed rock work hills and waterfalls, that sort of terrain follows, perhaps themed to links master cycle or flying coaster themed to a more nimble new shikaparaglider could easily be a new tech demostraiter from the tech lab ant that would be a great station build and story for it! Man I think this could beat any other themed area built ever and feels so doable.
Ok you’re hired cause this is perfect! ❤
I'd put a mack or intamin water coaster in there as it would versatile with dark ride sections, coaster sections and drops also having all the water rides in one area would bung up toon lagoon and jurassic park on a hot day.
Loved the idea!
Too bad Universal's given up on trackless 😢
I like the idea of kakariko village but I also think that a huge hyrule castle along the water front would be perfect to rival disneys castles
I prefer OOT.
A leaked piece of concept art surfaced a few years back that showed an indoor boat ride for Zelda, where halfway through, it would turn into a suspended dark ride similar to Peter Pan. There was also a high ropes course in the same concept art, which looked very much like it took place in The Lost Continent.
ThemeParkStop did a video on the patent for this ride concept last year.
Ooooh, Maybe something like Journey to Atlantis at Sea world.
I think a water ride of some kind themed to Wind Waker would be amazing.
The great thing about Islands of Adventure is it doesn't have to worry about a big hard ticket event like HHN every year. Seriously think that's part of what holds USF back from becoming a top tier park. Look no further than the new Minion Blast attraction being essentially half of what it could have been because they just HAD to keep half the building for a HHN house. And of it weren't for HHN I fully believe they would've replaced the fear factor area with an actual attraction by now.
Well Poseidon was just announced to close this May. Now the chances of this happening are a lot higher!
I think a wing coaster would be a good fit. Skyward Sword, the first game chronologically and explains a lot of the series mythology, has a big emphasis on flying, and the bird Link rides eventually becomes hugely iconic in the series
Going with a Wing Coaster would probably work with Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword which features giant birds which are called Loftwings. It could work, and the inside portions of the ride could show the world of that game in the skies. Now, that could also play with the upcoming Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom as well which seems to revisit some of the locations from Skyward Sword eons later which are now in ruin in the sky.
I could very easily see that land split into the landscapes of Breath of the Wild. A centralized location with a castle-themed ride, for Hyrule... a mountain area with a Rito village... a desert landscape for the Gerudo, something water related for the Zora and a volcanic area for the Gorons. Breath of the Wild is such a dramatic and beautifully themed game and would be amazing, adapted into a RL experience.
I love the idea but I don’t think they have the space:(
A Zelda dark ride could well be themed around the dungeon crawling every title offers. It's a really good excuse for bringing you inside, because otherwise Zelda games are known for their overworlds.
As for a coaster idea one based on riding Epona (the horse) could be possible. There are also a couple of items that allow you fly in a couple of the newer games and they could certainly build a coaster on that concept. And then another decent one would be basing a coaster on Wind Waker's voyages across the sea.
Imagine a super complex water coaster themed to the king of red lions from the wind waker
Anyway, I think the "best" theming for this area would be Ocarina of Time. Make the dark ride maybe be the Young Link ride, have scenes in the 3 dungeons and tell the story of Link trying to get the 3 stones, the blasters could be slingshot themed. And then make the coaster be Adult Link's ride, enter through the Temple of Time, have the pre-show being the part where the Master Sword is pulled, and maybe have a couple of show scenes themed to Death Mountain and Lake Hylia, then finish in Ganon's Castle. I can't really think of another example of rides being meant to be ridden in a certain order and it'd definitely be an interesting way to progress the story of the land as the guest experiences it.
They could definitely theme a food stand to Lon Lon Ranch and have Malon & Talon meet and greets next to it, have Saria at the Deku Tree, Zelda and Link outside of the coaster exit. If Universal has a version of that costume that Disney's using for Hulk, that would be cool to use for a goron.
But I honestly think Pokemon might be a more likely retheme because it would allow them to then retheme Seuss Landing. Maybe if they don't eat up too much of the world's fair area with a Potter expansion at USO they could put Zelda in over there when Simpsons and MIB come down.
Nice concepts, here’s another! TAKE MY MONEY now for a interactive mastersword… think Harry Potter wand tec and Mario bands but they let you interact with various stuff in a dungeon or maze type setting or other stuff around the new land
If they opened up a Zelda coaster I hope they theme it to majoras mask. And the dark ride could be themed to links awakening
That would be cool! Thank you for sharing your idea :)
@@TP_Recommendations bro why do you have that ugly Islands of Adventure logo on the thumbnail? That's disrespect bruh
Realistically it would be BOTW or Ocarina
@@DonMiguelLaBestia probly but it's nice to dream
Not me coming across this mere hours after Poseidon's Fury's closure was announced
I Love Wing Coasters so I would be in line for that coaster all the time!
Mythos needs to stay. Second most important thing at IOA/USF only behind Velocicoaster. How big is Zelda right now? I can't answer that question. But it is Universal, so I am sure they will do it well.
PLLLLLLLLLEASE!!! Zelda or LOTR are the two series I'd rather see in a Universal park than any other.
They could just add in a Family guided horse ride and let people sit on Epona, you have a winner. And a Vekoma Flying Coaster would fit if they are doing the Skyward Sword origin story. Darkride about Majoras Mask and you can build a walkthrough attraction inside that can have a talking tree that will take the 13 lifes mastersword challenge of Breath of the Wild. Thibk you got plenty of things covered for a lot of the Zelda lore.
I love this idea! I really like Mario and Zelda, so this would be a very nice replacement for the Lost Continent. The wing coaster can be based on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword because the trains can be designed after the Loftwings, which are giant birds that can be used by Link to fly to another location quickly. As for the dark ride, I like the concept of an interactive shooting dark ride because it is always a fun and competitive ride for all ages to enjoy, and many of the games have Link using the bow to shoot the arrows and defeat enemies, which can be used as targets during the ride. However, I think that a boat ride would also be really cool to see as well. It also has a low height requirement and it allows everybody to appreciate the interactive scenes and characters while they are on the ride.
There were two Zeldas before Link to the Past on the NES in the 80s.
Brandon, I think this idea sounds amazing! It definitely makes sense for Islands of Adventure to re-theme the Lost Continent into a new area based on The Legend of Zelda.
The B&M Launched Wing Coaster can be based on Skyward Sword, since it has an emphasis on flying. Also, the trains could be designed after the Loftwings. Now, as for the dark ride, I like it. This attraction sounds like a great fit and Universal could benefit from another attraction geared towards families.
All in all, it will be interesting to see what Universal Creative does with this park and the Studios park after Epic Universe opens. I can't wait to see what the future holds for Universal Orlando Resort.
No! Poseidon's Fury forever!!
During my college years, I was in my biology class and I was bored. So I started drawing a map of a Zelda themed land for IOA. I started with making a part of the lost continent themed to hyrule castle town. I placed a triforce triple coaster set to the temple of time. I also put a lost woods Dark ride closer to hogsmede. I would make mythos a restaurant themed to Zora waterfalls. And I would also put a drop tower/dark ride attraction based on Ganon’s tower. This land would be based on Ocarina of Time.
Zelda actually would be a good fit for Islands of Adventure
If would! I agree
A shield sledding roller coaster
Zelda deserves one thing and one thing alone. A bombastic over the top Dark Ride. No coaster, just that and a hyrule land with maybe a show.
Zelda is not an IP the general public is familiar with..at least in comparison to JP, or HP for example. So, logically, you would want to introduce this IP through an attraction (think Avatar Flight of Passage) to establish this world. Then, you could have a second attraction that goes deeper. Maybe an immersive theatre attraction, for example. Something that would bring, the now familiarized general audience, into a Zelda adventure. Just a thought
YES PLEASE OMG
ZELDA. We need it. NOW.
Wouldn't that be amazing? Thank you for watching.
@@TP_Recommendations You're welcome.
We also need Star Fox, Kirby, EarthBound and more!
The thing about a wing coaster for Zelda is that it's actually perfect. The game Skyward Sword introduced a giant bird creature called loftwings, which is Link's main mount and mode of transport for the game. Loftwings were designed to be incredibly import for the series iconography, as the wing and talon insignia that often accompanies the TriForce in particular designs, such as the one on the Hylian Shield, is supposed to be a depiction of a loftwing.
If we go with the shooting dark ride idea specifically, there's actually quite a few possibilities. You could portray it as a shooting on horseback minigame, derive from the shooting minigame in Spirit Tracks and have the ride vehicle be the Spirit Train, or make it a water based shooting dark ride and have the vehicle be the King of Red Lions. If this potential Zelda themed land is portrayed as Hyrule Castletown tho, the horseback one would make the most sense thematically.
Honestly I could design a whole park themed to Zelda; I'm a massive Zelda fan
Only issue is that islands is based off of books. Which is why harry potter fits. We need lord of the rings
If they do build it, it would probably be themed to breath of the wild, as that’s one of the most popular zelda games right now. Maybe an indoor coaster or dark ride where you experience the calamity?
Omg I would die to get on that ride!! And also Zelda tear of the kingdom actually already came out so maybe they could do an attraction related to the avatar one since I saw that you are able to fly (this is just from my pov I haven’t played it yet)
I dont think so, if they do a zelda themed land it would be in the style of OoT and Majoras mask. Those are the biggest games of the zelda franchise. While breath of the wild is popular the theme just doesn't feel like it would fit for a zelda land that would be compared to super Mario land. I think it would be best to stick to the toon theme of the super Nintendo.
Counterpoint: we got a kidzone to redo first. This will have to come after that happens
Also we really gotta wait for Tears of le Kingdom for source materiel
This has been in the works for 4 or 5 years. I even made a post about this on Facebook when I heard from one of the higher ups about this that I know personally.
Do a vid on what lands can come to epic universe expansions and 4th park
I think they should add the worlds first triple coaster themed to the triforce, a dark ride themed to the lost woods and flume ride themed to zora falls. Hyrule castie would be the queue of the triforce coaster
That’s actually so genius, I would love to see that omg
Thanks Brandon Looking forward to new attractions Different is good
Every time I hear the Zelda (which I too don’t know much about) idea for lost continent I always think a Soarin’ or Flight of Passage type attraction would be cool where you just fly around The Kingdom of Hyrule on the paraglider or something else like that. I know, another screen attraction but it would be different than anything universal currently has.
Mythos restaurant would retheme very easily to Zora's Domain in Legend of Zelda. For those who don't know, the Zora are the fish people of the Zelda world, so the rock and waterfalls could all remain, they would just need to change the decoration, but keep the building. Same could be said for the entire Lost Continent area, just reskinning the buildings to suit the Kingdom of Hyrule, perhaps not by making an actual location from the games, but more of a general embracing of the mythology of the games.
I would love to see Hyrule Castle or they can theme it to Death Mountain. A launched Wing Coaster like Thunderbird would be a perfect fit.
A highly themed dark ride where you join link on an adventure likely a shooting dark ride but you use links well known items. bow and arrow, boomerang, hook shot and less to just shoot enemies but solve puzzles to help link save hyrule. With other classic charters coming in to help you. This would be in a hyrule castle style building. And a Coaster. The coaster would be high thrill and feature the landscapes that Zelda is know for. Death mountain Lake Hylia. hyrule field. Zoras domain. Etc. I think those two things would give you an excellent Zelda experience.
Zelda and your dark ride with a shooting element would really go well together. Add a horseback riding theme and plenty of moblins to shoot.
Zelda is my favorite game series of all time. The possibilities are endless. Not to totally geek out but there are deserts, water, snowy areas, ocean / water areas, wooded forests, castle type areas, etc. The possibilities are really endless. It would be up to them to decide on theming based on specific games or an overarching theme based on a single game like BotW. In your case with the wing coaster idea, that could be themed to Skyward Sword. The water ride could be Windwaker. They could even do a ride that's a bit darker like Majora's Mask. Honestly there's so much there, it's impossible to list. If they actually brought Zelda to life like this it would truly be a dream come true.
I hope they do this. I'd drop some serious coin in that area.
It will be interesting to see what Universal does with the 2 current parks after Epic opens.
The idea of Zelda coming to lost continent has been discussed for a couple of years now on Universal forums. Whatever happens lost continent is probably the next big project for Islands after 2025.
I think a land themed to Zelda would be the perfect modern fit for this land. In fact, since The Legend of Zelda takes place in a land of myth and adventure, one could argue for that reason that the theming of The Lost Continent could stay as it is or get altered just a little bit for this new character. After all, an island with this kind if turning would still be the perfect fit for this park and be a huge gap if it was missing.
I was excited about this video, then I saw what channel it was 😂
(3) Retheme Mystic Fountain to the Great Deku Tree
Zelda area would be crazy for Universal that or a pokemon area (a dark ride similar to pokemon snap)
Mythos stays with some slight changes, Poseidon's facade stays as it fits the look of a temple from Zelda, most other buildings in the area also fit within the Zelda theme. I think Poseidon's facade is the entrance for the new attraction.
I love the Zelda franchise and hope that they bring in a Zelda themed area. I can’t really think of ride details but I do enjoy classic dark rides that just highlight scenes from a story.
Love this idea, but you removed the access road for Mythos. Restaurants need to have access to trucks for delivery of food/supplies.
Yes, Universal could definitely use a Wing Coaster.
A lot of back of house ops are moving to Epic and that is going to free up a lot of space at the existing parks for guest area expansion.
(1) Dark ride “Kuka” style themed around Ocarina of Time. Picture traveling through Hyrule’s castle, opening the Temple of Time and going through it…
(2) Story coaster similar to Hagrid’s but winged to mimic Link gliding in Breath of The Wild.
***The land must have Hyrule Castle & Kokoriko Village*** (Mix of restaurants/shops)
That's a lot of space for a Zelda land next to the enormously popular but much smaller Hogsmeade. It seems to me that it would be more lucrative to expand Hogsmeade than to build a new land that you can't be sure anyone would care about.
Maybe build a dark ride and or coaster in a themed Hyrule castle? If you do shoot ride figure out how to make it with a bow and arrow or sling shot. The coaster could be themed to the new Zelda coming out of breath of the wild with the hang glider. If going to a old game, make it feel like you are riding a horse through hyrule field
I do like the idea of a Legend of Zelda dark ride and Roller Coaster for Islands and Adventure. I think it works really well. I remember I originally thought that lost continent would just be some Harry Potter expansion with The Sinbad stunt show and Posiden's furry being Harry Potter rethemes, but honestly, your right both should be demolished entirely with a new dark ride and Roller coaster being built. I would imagine Universal would wanna open Legend of Zelda before or in 2029 cause that year will mark the 30th anniversary of the islands of Adventure Park.
Didn't Universal just finish a big refurbishment on Poseidon's Fury? I like this concept a lot, but I just don't see them ripping it out for another decade with how much work they put into it.
Aged like milk
@@aidentorres5174 definitely 😂😭
The Poseidon Fury building is almost as big as The Cat In The Hat's. If Universal were to build a new queue area where the Poseidon statue/ruins are, they could convert the existing queue into a preshow and load/unload areas. A wing coaster would be fantastic for this land, and agree it wouldn't open before 2026. USF really needs a good motion simulator show, and I hope we'll see a motion-based show themed to *"Quidditch Through The Ages"* open soon after Epic Universe.
With all these rearranging and expansions etc in the three parks plus small Texas park Universal is on the verge of gaining more market share.
one major problem. Nintendo barely agreed to the mario land they also led the announcements so if they aren't talking that's a big NO!!
Huge Zelda fan. They should totally theme the rides after some of the temples. Water Temple. Fire Temple. etc. And add an element of conquest to it like the game. If you "conquer" all the temples (i.e. all the Zelda attractions), you are rewarded... maybe with some rupees!
That would be awesome!!!! Thank you for watching!
I love this idea, but I think the Comic Strip area of the park is probably closer to the chopping block than Lost Continent is. The rides there are great, just the relevancy of the IP is not so great- How many kids ( or under 40 adults) know Cathy or Beetle Bailey?!?
Could be! That makes sense. Thank you for watching!
I don't think they'd totally demolish the building for Poseidon, as the example contrary to it is the Kongfrontation into Mummy ride, all they had to do was make room for it inside. In fact the track for Kong is still installed in the roof of the ride building still. and Mythos is their number 1 highest rated theme park restaurant, its won so many awards.... they'd probably only ever consider slight re-theme..
Yeah that’s true. They could just add on to the building if they have to! Thank you for watching. 🎢
I wonder what's happening to toon lagoon in the future.
They’re not building another coaster in IOA. At least anytime soon.
Mythos screams Gerudo Oasis to me.
Thunderbird is a great coaster
Hope you guys are well!
A launched B&M Wing for IOA, yes please!
Retheming Lost Continent as a Zelda area is a no brainer, and honestly - I am quite shocked they have not even made that move yet. It fits with what is there, and they could have done it slowly, and then announced a ride. Instead it sits there quite dead as everyone mostly runs through it quickly. They can even keep some items b/c the theme is so similar.
they can simply name the land Hyrule, as likely the most popular and thought of Zelda location, but there are some really great names in Zelda geography that could lend a hand to ride names or different sections of the "land"! My faves are Death Mountain, Lake Hylia and Lost Woods.
You have to have Hyrule Castle in the Zelda section.
Since tears of the kingdom came out a few days ago from what I see you are able to fly without a glider of some sort so maybe they could make a avatar related ride since there’s flying included
Id like to see them add a Vekoma. Maybe an upscaled Bermuda Blitz
Could also serve to be a cool Lord of the Rings section too
They could totally do a sword in the stone thing with the master sword, also a trackless dark ride inside the Poseidon’s fury building , themed around any number of dungeons from the series, forest temple, awesome, they could do an effect where you travel through the twisted hallway, then you travel backwards and it’s straighten up, or they could do the water temple, and have an effect of water levels rising in a huge central building, or even something like the great deku tree, or dodongos cavern, with a huge animatronic king dodongo as the centrepiece of the ride, they could do ganondorfs keep, where each section is themed to a different temple, these are all just based off of one game too, the possibilities are almost limitless. As you can probably tell I want to see this so badly
IMO what would be cool if they build onto the Kong ride and add Godzilla or something with kong and Godzilla together. IDK who owns the rights or anything but it could be pretty epic.
Also I agree with usf getting alot done right now but they are doing lots of minions and redoing the kids zone as we speak...fear factor stage will stay for hhn and other events I mean a live harry potter illusion/live stunnt show would be amazing in that spot
The rollercoaster should definitely be flight themed(either inverted or flying specialty), but the Dark Ride.... Zelda Multiverse Adventure. Seriously. The whole Multiverse trope in media is only. getting. bigger. With so many games to pick, why just one? Make it a solo story following a new device in the franchise that brings riders with link as he has to hop through many versions of his own story. Every type of Link, Ganon, and Zelda could make some sort of appearance:P Just food for thought ✌️
I hope they pick something other than Zelda. The theme of the Lost Continent was key for this park which was based around literature. I believe it would be far more beneficial to build a new version of Dueling Dragons in the stunt show space and a new Poseidon Dark ride in the old walkthrough location.
And then they create a dark ride called the Shadow Temple.
Love it’
Since they have put pokemon characters in the parade, I would think it would be that over zelda.
Also, when they refurbished poseidons fury, they didn't do much to the attraction. But, they did do alot of structural work to the building. So, I think they will keep that building.
They should get another B&M invert or an RMC single rail coaster could benefit there.
They should theme this land to Zelda breath of the wild
I feel like a dark ride would fit the best. Nintendo places a lot of value on making experiences anyone can enjoy, and while they could do a family friendly coaster I’d rather a highly themed and more thrilling dark ride almost akin to Rise of the Resistance that utilizes multiple ride systems and a highly themed queue to really make you feel like you’re on a grand adventure.
I know a lot of people are referencing the patents for the water/suspended ride and I think something like that could be super cool. With so many iterations of Zelda to choose from I think BotW/TotK Hyrule would probably be the best fit since, with all of its references to other games, it almost feels like a celebration of Zelda. And also when it changes to a suspended mode, it can look like you’re utilizing the paraglider.
As for exteriors hyrule castle is the obvious, but seeing as hogwarts castle is so close and we also get peaches and bowsers castle in Nintendo land, I’d rather see the temple of time as the facade. It’s a location that shows up so often throughout all the games and maybe at a certain point in the queue you can get transported into another iconic local such as the lost woods or even Zoras domain.
Makes sense with the live action reboot of train your dragon (version I believe will be used at the new park) and a Zelda animation movie on the way. New ip to many younger viewers will be a draw to the park and limit loss of guests going to epic universe. We want to grow numbers, not just relocate them.
A GAME OF THRONES LAAAND, ITF FITS WITH ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE THEMING OF BOOKS
The only prediction I am confident in making is your final prediction: Islands of Adventure won't see any major expansion or attraction until after Epic Universe opens, since it has already been blessed with two huge coaster recently. Work on Universal Studios Florida is already underway (VillainCon Minion Blast and replacement to Woody Woodpecker KidZone), which will probably tide them over until Epic Universe gets underway and starts generating revenue. Then I believe focus will return to beefing up Islands of Adventure, followed by perhaps one last Harry Potter expansion to Diagon Alley at USF.
I really want an animal crossing themed park, but with the games appearance it would probably be a kids section
While a Zelda theming rumor has been going around for years on what could go in place of Lost Continent, however, I doubt that would happen because I think they may save that for Epic Universe. But, what seems more plausible for that area though, would be an expansion to Wizarding World.
legend of zelda breath of the wild is easily the best zelda game ever made and quite possibly the best game period. and with the highly anticipated sequel tears of the kingdom coming out in a month i can't think of a better zelda to build a park theme around. the possibilities are endless.
That’s great to hear. Thank you Martin!
Breath of the Wild, the newest Zelda game is also the 20th best-selling game of all time, so this franchise definitely has legs.
A Zelda land should have interactive puzzles. Maybe a ride where you ride a horse through Hyrule Kingdom? Maybe shoot things with a bow? A walk or ride though the deku forest would be cool. Swords for sale. Masks for sale.
That would be cool!!
Maybe, similar to the mariokart ride with the visor thing far as shooting stuff with a bow?
I think an indoor coaster makes more sense in this park that already has 4 outdoor coasters
I love the lost continent😢 but I think universal can just add an Ip to this area that’s all because this is the main island of adventure
They have this old ride system patent that allows a ride to transition form a over the head hanging dark ride to a boat tire I think it would fit because of the glider from breath of the wild
I always had an idea that instead of replacing lost continent with zelda they could add zelda into the land , idk why but i’d like that much better then it being a replacement land
A great dark ride it would be awesome if it would be like forbidden journey 😀 and a coaster you can definitely do a flying coaster
I believe the world's needs more Mack suspended Powered Coasters (Arthur at Europapark) and I'm honestly shocked why Disney and Universal are not buying those. I think it would also fit in perfectly for a Zelda themed coaster/dark ride hybrid. I'm also pretty sure that with some money Mack would also be able to add more features to the model to maybe make it faster and more thrilling
