  Here is where science fiction stories come to life. This final area of the park is where several science fiction movies are realized, and guests can become part of those worlds. When guests cross in from Mystical Realms, guests come across a large roller coaster on the left. Like the Tron ride in Disney, it is covered by a large canopy. This ride is no other than Back to the Future: Race Through Time, a roller coaster based on the franchise. It exits into Time to Shop. Galactic Grill is a nearby restaurant. On the left is a large building sitting on the edge of the water, where guests can ride Star Trek: Enterprise Rescue, an interactive motion simulator ride similar to Millennum Falcon: Smuggler's Run. Taking its inspiration from the J.J. Abrams reboot trilogy, guests are cast as Star Fleet members who must rescue the Enterprise from attacking aliens. The ride exits into Star Fleet Cargo. Going around the building, guests find two large dark rides housed in a futuristic building...

Guests travel to Far, Far Away to attend the celebration of Shrek and Fiona's wedding anniversary but get sidetracked when they join Puss on a quest beneath the castle. The ride exits into Enchanted Relics. Next up is an area themed to How to Train Your Dragon, recreating the Isle of Berk. Here, guests can pass over a bridge to a Chinese area to see the statue...

I wanted to tweak the draft of Universal Studios Texas that I already had and maybe make it better. This is an attempt to do that. I decided to have both lands of the Wizarding World in the same location for two reasons: I couldn't think of ideas for a second park but I still wanted to include Diagon Alley and I felt like I could make two HP lands in one park work. Disney did it with Star Wars a lot and featuring things themed to the serie...
