So it’s not technically engraved on the One Ring just yet, but fans have a high suspicion that a Lord of the Rings land is coming to Universal Orlando in Florida.

According to the blog site Disney and More - a site that’s been known for theme-park news leaks in the past - suggests that Universal is set to open a fourth park (if you count Volcano Bay). Along with Lord of the Rings, the other rumored lands in the park are a Harry Potter Ministry of Magic park, a Nintendo World, and a Jurassic World.

The park has the codename "Project 314" and could be finished as soon as 2023. The Lord of the Rings rumor came about a few years ago when fans thought it was going to be an expansion of Universal’s Islands of Adventure (after Universal supposedly bought the rights). According to the blog, the Middle-earth addition has been a “frequent almost-player” at Universal.

Some other rumored news mentioned in the post was the Nintendo section of the park possibly including a Mario Kart ride, a Zelda ride, and a Donkey Kong roller coaster. OMG, could you imagine? There was also mention that the park is pushing to add in Pokémon to the mix.

We're literally keeping our fingers crossed that all four lands are true, and getting on the first flight out once the park opens. In the meantime, we'll head to Disney World to check out the new Toy Story Land.
