Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

[Magic-Man]

I like how almost nobody is talking about this expanded concept art.

Just a feeling... seems ripe for a theme park screen based/simulator attraction. I am thinking this park will be a lot more practical rides, but this could be done without creating a whole land and once into the ride you could incorporate other IPs Universal has access to without giving them physical rides or lands.

Ready Player One was a Warner Brothers film though? And by the time the park opens the movie will be 5 years old, and wasn't all that successful to begin with? Like, it's just not gonna happen

Ooh, looks like a dark ride, boat ride, and a coaster for How to Train Your Dragon.

Ooops I thought it was Universal, and I'm really not clamoring for it or anything, but I could still see it. I mean the TRON franchise was dead dead dead... but it's still getting an attraction in 2021, I know it's a clone and it's Disney owned, but I just don't think it's impossible. Though it being WB does admittedly reduce my hunch

Am I blind? I don't see a coaster in the hub...O:

Only coasters I see are the dueling one in the middle right and the one in the bottom right.

Dueling is supposedly part of the hub, and the HTTYD is the one that goes through the water a bit and into the rocks. Alicia said its somewhat similar to Hagrid's in terms of thrill level and theming and AAs.

The dueling one enters/exists from the hub

Tron has a fanbase. RP1, despite being a half-decent movie/book, doesn't have a fanbase at all.

 

[WillQ92]

Anyone remember Mack claiming they're working on something big for Universal? That coaster is probably what they were talking about.

TRON is also a property owned by Disney and doesn’t require licensing fees

I thought I was the only person in Tron's fan base

Keep in mind, the hub attractions could always be rethemed to any IP they decide on for future expansions. Say they build a Star Trek land between FB and HTTYD, they could retheme the dueling coaster and planetarium looking building to fit with a major expansion in that area.

There seems to be an attraction in that huge building off to the left side.

View attachment 10379 This seems to be an attraction at the entrance.

If by attraction you mean bag check/metal detectors.

Edit:
I'm sorry, I realize you mean after the gate, in the upper left hand section of your picture. Yea that's big enough for an attraction (like an indoor show) or large restaurant.

But I think the entrance is more around the corner rather than right at entrance.

 

[TheCodeMan95]

My biggest takeaway is honestly that hub. It's absolutely stunning and very functional.

That hub far exceeds any expectation I would have had.

Thinking out loud here - With all the shops and restaurants out in the hub, could we see them NOT having as much as shopping/dining in the actual lands?

I doubt it. That's way too close to the entrance.

I doubt it. That's way too close to the entrance.

What else can it be than ? It looks like huge show building to me.

Idk, if everyone looks the entrance to that building is on the upper left side it seems. Not sure thats too close for some sort of an attraction. I highly doubt its just bag check and metal detectors its a gigantic building. Could be a huge store or something as well.

 

[Magic-Man]

What else can it be than ? It looks like huge show building to me but maybe it’s some kind of bad check like someone said even though that doesn’t really make sense either.

It looks like a giant store to me. Maybe a restaurant as well. Any attractions will be closer to the back, like that planetarium next to the dueling coaster.

Entrance for that show building is facing inside the park.
