Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

[belloq87]

I'm pretty sure he did "consult" - however that's defined under his current contract. They paid a boatload to keep him on last time it was up for renewal (the penalty for canceling was reported in the press to be enormous - I think in excess of a billion dollars?).

Sure, but I haven't heard anything about him being hands-on in the way he was with several attractions in the previous parks.

This is a really niche complaint but the LYNX bus stop for Epic is straight-up disrespectful. There’s gotta be a better place.

I am sure Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers will be there.

Yeah, Matt Rogers seems to be a park fan and he just hosted Today with Jenna.

I assume Keenan, and I wouldn't be surprised to see that Ariana shows up with her Florida roots and ties to Universal now.

Keenan has to go to Berk and recreate the concept art that he was in.

I was thinking the same!

For those out of the area, WESH2 is the local NBC affiliate, and they have been doing great coverage of Epic, with a whole lot of “exclusives”. Most of it will be on the website as well. Christina has been there parks reporter for a while now, and Jason Guy is a HUGE fan of the parks, so they are as excited about showing off Epic as just about anyone.

A definite buy if it’s only available in the park that day and they don’t pull what Disney did with some things like this and sell it online later.

I want this shirt so bad! I hope they sell this when I go in September to everyone.

I wonder if Shigeru Miyamoto would want to attend the opening. Meeting him is on my bucket list.
