Theme Park Apprentice Challenge 7: Create a themed island for IOA
This week's challenge on Theme Park Apprentice was to create a newly themed island that would fit well within Universal's Islands of Adventure.
Your contestants:
- Amanda Jenkins' Sci-fi Island
- Nick Markham's Sci-Fi Planet
- Anthony Murphy's Universal Monster Island
So... which Island would you most want to visit? (Contestant with the fewest votes is eliminated.)

All brilliant as usual, and Nick your presentation is unmatched.
Overall, though, I gotta go with Anthony's idea as I have long wanted Universal to really capitalize on all the classic monsters from their past.
Interesting results so far. Nick and Anthony seem to be extremely close. Do we have our final 2 already? Seems like Nick has the favorite presentation and Anthony the favorite theme.
I believe you do Tim. Congratulations guys!!! I had a blast playing this game and reading everyone's ideas. Thanks for letting me play along. Have a great Memorial Day :)
I had to go with Monsters, too - the best of what the challenge was asking for. It fits the best with Universal, Adventure (IOA), and what Universal is really all about. The entries (official and non-official) on sci-fi were good, but Star Trek is very much owned by Paramount.
I liked the retheming of what is already there and the general cohesive plan all around, using monsters. Also, good story behind all of the attractions and other elements in the land.

In my opinion, the sci-fi islands don't have enough of a common theme to them. Star Trek here, Transformers there, Avatar over there. I think you'd have been better off making a Star Trek-themed area, or a Transformers-themed area (which I would most likely avoid like the plague). Monsters Island is the only one that thematically holds together, in my opinion.
