It’s rumored that the new park will have unique lands themed after different franchises, but those haven’t been revealed. It could be the Fantastic Beasts or Super Nintendo lands that have been rumored for a while.
Many fans in the replies were excited about the news but upset that no new information was given. Fans have known something has been in the works for a while because of all the permits involved with Universal acquiring the land, so they are anxiously waiting for more.
See what they had to say on Twitter below.
So, basically everything the public has known about between permits, construction, and “well, duh”. Without a single detail about the actual park, you’ve gotten everyone hyped for nothing. Congrats.

Universal also did not announce when the park would be opening, and made a joke about fans asking.
