Why?After the success of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Universal is looking into possibly making a Lord of the Rings themed land or park. The news and possibility of this has also been floating around Disney's forums.
Disney or Universal... I say no! Lord of the Rings may be more mature and may have won more Oscars than Harry Potter, but a theme park would just be a horrible idea.
The Lord of the Rings movies came out 7 years ago. And until The Hobbit movies come out, it's a dead subject. And the only thing that is popular when it comes to LOTR is its movies. The books are a difficult read (I know... I've tried) and they were released over 50 YEARS AGO!
And the movies have always been for more mature teens and adults. Kids may be amused by the fighting, but otherwise nothing would interest them. At least Harry Potter is fun for all ages and it's still a hott thing. The movies are still being released and we are still in the Harry Potter generation. Harry Potter's been around for about 12 years and it's still amazing to everyone.
The only thing potentially cool is seeing the structures they can build. Like the towers and castles. Otherwise nothing. And rides? What would you do? Fly on the eagles? Ride an over-sized elephant? Nothing.
I just think it's a terrible idea that won't rake in much money. Not like Harry Potter at least.
