They are keeping it a secret for now, but of course, they said “to create an entirely new level of experience that forever changes theme park entertainment.”
Lots of rumours going around. Nintendo Land, more Harry Potter, with a Themed Hotel, more superhero rides, although that may be problematic with Disney's ownership in Marvel, even though they already have the Hulk coaster and a Spiderman ride.

They only got so much room in the park and there is no extra land to expand to like Disney has.

The new area is a few miles south of the current park near the Orange County Convention Center. I wonder if it will be tied into the main park with some sort of a train or will it be a totally separate park?

Yep. Here is an article that shows the relative locations:

It looks like the new area is about as big as the current park!

Funny they make a move like this?
I don't understand the question. I don't think it's odd.

The Jimmy Fallon ride isn’t what is bringing people into the park, it’s the coasters. Just like some songs on an album of your favourite group, some of the rides are “filler”.

Not everyone goes for the coasters either - i'd wager most don't - they go for the experience.
I'm wondering how long that contract they signed to use marvel characters (prior to disney buying marvel) lasts. I figured the mouse would have been doing everything they could to end that deal.

My question is, how smart is it really. The location I mean. With rising sea levels, flooding and all that.
Considering my house is about 10 miles East of Universal Orlando, I hope it's darn safe! Florida is pretty flat but, Universal Orlando is about 30-40 miles from the Atlantic Ocean.
A brand new Jurassic Park roller coaster is being built at Universal:

Comcast / Universal has plenty of issues at its currant state. They will be losing most of all their superhero’s back to marvel/ Disney soon. Harry Potter belongs to AT&T now since it’s time Warner deal. So you know they will have to buy a hefty price to keep using it. Fox was also sold off to Disney so there goes the Simpson section now too. They are nearly paying everyone else to keep their park afloat.
Sorry but minions isn’t going to keep that place going. A Jurassic park is a good idea to start with. Nintendo park would be great. Can you imagine if they had Mario cart ride. Everyone drives their own carts and passes over panels to get speed boosts or traps to slow you down. They could even build their own castle from Zelda or castlevania ( well if Konami play’s along too)
