Universal Studios is reportedly trying to purchase 474 additional acres for their Orlando property, which would almost double the amount of land they currently have. And this comes just a couple of months after previous rumors involving a third gate themed to video games, which they would need additional land for due to them being mostly landlocked. Beyond Nintendo, previous rumors suggested multiple other properties including Warcraft and Pokemon could come to the park too.
I want to stress 500-acres is a TON of property and essentially confirms some kind of 3rd park is coming. Islands of Advrenture (Universal's 2nd Orlando park) is only 110 acres. Now granted, a lot of that land will likely be used for other hotels and possible other future expansion, but Universal is obviously buying this land for big plans.
And I think a video game-based park would be HUGE. Nothing of this scale has existed before, and it would be a nice compliment to Universal's movie-themed parks.
