Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

[Alicia]

That gif wasn’t loading for me lol but yes, very twisty indeed....

But if hypothetically Pokémon were to go to EU instead of kidzone then not even Pikachu can defeat the kidzone curse, THAT IS SCARY.

Can’t stop the feeling intensifies

I know getting ahead of myself.

But the space between Nintendo and Monsters, putting Pokemon (Pokemon Snap Safari/Poke mart/center/Pokemon Lab and Coaster) and Shonen properties (Bring One piece show from Japan that has higher GSAT ratings than Waterworld at Universal and add Universal take on a Pirate ride/My Hero Academia Ride/one property that trends more female than male) would really round out the cartoony and campy nature of that side of the park.

I cannot find the old map

Where is the land earmarked forNintendo expansion vs the land that might be CFTBL?

Furthermore, do we know the approximate size of either plot?

Monsters Expansion is west of the currently land in a long strip ~4Acres

If youre looking at the Hub with Potter at 12 oclock position (north) SNW expansion is 7oclock position and is ~7 acres, so about an acre or two more than whats usable at Kidzone

This all makes a ton of sense, IMO.

If they were to ever do that I wonder if it’d also be indoors like KFP, it’d kinda work. If not try and make it glowy and colorful like Pandora, obviously scaled down. This all would make sense however

Pokémon going to EU instead of KidZone does not inspire hope that USF is gonna get what it needs in the wake of EU, but at least that decision would bolster EU a lot

If she's implying Trolls to KZ... I'd argue differently.

Bagawd. We must take this death match to the KZ thread!

Depends on what that entails, but yea. At least that would be something

I hope that Trolls to KZ (if it happens) wouldn't just be Trolls overlay of Barney/Curious George/Woody. I want to see them start from the bottom up.

Pokemon would be great and all, but hopefully they don't leave Zelda in the dust. Was starting to think that it would be Zelda here and Pokemon at Studios.

Trollz feels better than Pokemon in Studios IMO

I expected them to do the "Potter formula" with Nintendo where each park gets a piece...

but I'm doubting that strategy more and more

Right. Pokémon would ha e been a complete knockdown/rebuild, which is what the land needs. Slapping a show in Barney and reskinning the rest of the land wouldn’t be all that much of an improvement

Agreed. With Trolls, there is a load of opportunity to bring that world to life. Just plopping down a filler show would be a letdown.

But, what if, they do filler show, playland retheme AND boat/dark ride on the parade building plot?

I mean that sounds lovely and like a fair making of work I’d think. I like it

 

[quinnmac000]

Nothing said during earning call at the park so far...just comcast will be extremely bullish and Universal will continue working on attractions and experience as people return to the parks.

I've finally watched @Alicia 's latest video.

I never really realised how many restaurants there are.

IOA has around 20, not including bars. I believe I only rattled off 15 from permits.

What’s different here is Epic seems to have more full service locations. While the other parks each have two inside the parks (Mythos and Confisco, Finnigans and Lombards,) Epic seems to have ~5. That’s more like a Disney park to me.

With no 'separate' CitiWalk, that makes good sense. Many of us pop out of the USF/IOA parks and have our sit down meals at CitiWalk full service restaurants.
