Yes, this is a really special update, as a new trademark has been registered by Universal. It is a name for a proposed new water park! It was rumored for years, and it would have been located in the big chunk of land that is located just behind Islands of Adventures. Is it finally becoming a reality? Will all these rumors be confirmed? Take a look at the trademark, from TRADEMARKIA.com

This would be surely something great! Of course, no official announcement has been made by Universal Orlando... yet. The name seems to refer to Islands of Adventure, so I wonder if they will change it or if they will maintain it as is. In our opinion, it may confuse a bit some people (because of the recurring word, "island/s"), but anyway, this could end up being Universal Orlando's first fully-themed water park! Will it be announced this May? We can only hope!
