Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

[truejonas]

Epic Universe is like going to be a catch all marketing term for the entire resort, when they announce new stuff on the horizon.

Wait...Universal is EPIC? I have never heard this in my life.

Would think great movie escape will be the escape room they will make sooner or later.

Which needs to happen soon because I would really like to do a major theme park escape room. Gone to The Escape Game in Orlando and their room sets were stellar. Could only imagine a UO one.

Yup, the trademark description confirmed that.

I have a feeling it'll be CityWalk 2.0 for the Great Movie Escape. It would be a good way to draw people to the new CityWalk and catch people leaving the park.

My biggest concern is capacity. Depending on how many escape rooms are within the complex, they won't be able to get a ton of walkup guests.

Small capacity x high demand = big price

That's true. And they can always cut it from the traditional hour experience to a half hour to get people through faster.

Next, hotel guests will get first dibs on reserving a room.

But I heard in a survey that epic universe, epic Worlds, legendary Worlds, legendary lands, and finally dreampark were supposed to be a list of names for the untitled fourth gate? I could be wrong I thought I read this article online but I can’t remember the site. Could it just be names for themed lands also in the new park?

From what I remember of this, those were tests of what to call the park itself, not the individual lands.

The VOID is an apt comparison over at Disney Springs. Of course I tend to think the price for The VOID is a steal, tbh.

What about DreamWorks? Can we get an estimated size and/or ride count?

I have no idea. I just know DreamWorks will be there. I also assume it will be the biggest because it will have the most properties in it

Plus it'll be the most family friendly, most likely. It'll be the new Seuss Land, if my gut tells me anything.

I certainly hope that their will be as many themed lands in the fourth gate as their are in Islands Of Adventure fingers crossed.

I think this park will be more balanced than the other two. There won’t just be a “kiddy” section separate from the rest.

I expect the DW land to skew younger, but still have some thrills/excitement for the others

I decided to try overlaying the Kidzone nintendo plans shared on twitter by chickenlilchip on a section of my annotated version of the infrastructure plans . . . and it fits!

My scaling isn't perfect but I think it's pretty clear that this spot in the new park is both the right size and the right shape for SNW as it was planned for Kidzone.

Love it, but apparently this version will be bigger than the old KZ version.

I'd argue that this is (inconclusive) evidence to the contrary.

 

[Imperius]

Isn’t that just someone’s workup of the plans?

Why would they use the same layout as the KZ version? It makes no sense capacity-wise. Not to mention there's rumors of Donkey Kong getting a different ride instead of the coaster, and possibly adding another ride as well.

 

[JungleSkip]

Wait, why are you using the blue lines to denote lands?

Here is a link back to post 8501 in this thread where I describe those markings:
Universal's 4th Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

Edit: And what I posted today is zoomed in on the southern portion, with the overlay on area 2.

I thought it was still a coaster but just not the boom coaster?
