Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

I feel like they are keeping the concept art somewhat purposefully ambiguous, I'm expecting every thing to be a lot more detailed than what we can see now, but they didn't want to give too much away until they officially announce.


I am curious as to why the giant amphitheater appears to be in Classic Monsters... that seems like an odd fit to me.

The Fantastic Beasts area looks like Paris.

Dueling coaster doesn't appear to be part of HTTYD - the entrance for it is very far away from the entrance to the other land - looks like it's part of whatever area that Planetarium building is in with the path that fades out into the trees.

Yea, the Hub. As I was saying, I dont think of it as its own land. 4 lands + a hub with shows and a coaster access.

I'm not seeing Berk at the bottom right. No rockwork, cliffs or anything that we saw in the movies. Possible a little bit there by the coaster.(the small one in the land not the big one), It might be an overall Dreamworks land, or just possibly fake art to hide the real plan for that area.

There's Rockwork, but I do seeing it be more general Dreamworks than a dedicated land for each property. The dueling coaster doesn't look particularly themed, though it is concept art and a bit early to say.

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Personally, I don't think that this is just HTTYD. It looks like multiple things.

Nah I think it is. The coaster in the art isn't connected

So for nintendo land, the thing in the way back looks like the DK coaster, i'm guessing the building is mario kart, no idea what the stuff is in the front, but the sun like thing at the entrance of nintendo land kind of looks like the star from super mario sunshine, so maybe this is where yoshi is going.

the more that I look at it these look like green and yellow yoshi eggs

also the "bridge" in the front looks very similar to Alicias yoshi omnimover layout

 

[JungleSkip]

Looks like a log flume down at the bottom

Berk is the largest IP dedicated area out of all the IPs represented.

I'm starting to wonder if Fantastic Beasts is partially inside or if that's actually a massive showbuilding for possible indoor / hybrid coaster concept ?

Strange since Nintendo is easily the biggest pull this park has. You’d think that would’ve been given the most space.

Also it’s now very clear why it was saved. They didn’t have another colossal hitter like it.

I doubt it's a coaster now. There's already three different coasters in the park.

The return of the Creature From The Black Lagoon musical show? Anyone? No?


... I kid of course.

I think that's actually the smaller coaster someone mentioned. If you follow the track, it goes along to the front of the land. Seems both this and the duelling coaster enter that area, this one via the massive long straight you can see over the water.

 

[Nathan]

I see two duplicated flatrides down by the coaster in supposedly httyd, they look exactly like those flying spinning ones like the teenage mutant ninja turtles ride in mall of America

 

[Magic-Man]

I think that's actually the smaller coaster someone mentioned.

I thought that too, but there's also some sort of water flume near it as well.

 

[rcoasterdude]

The classic monsters land looks awesome. Has that feeling of an old village which I’m pretty excited to see! And they have two expansion pads ready to go!

 

[Meteorain]

Hard to say which land is the largest considering Nintendo is probably multi-level and so much of FB seems to be indoors. Wonder how long it will be before they make the IP/land announcements.

 

[jrn14]

I need a square foot by square foot analysis of the concept art ... down to the significance of the red trees in the hub.... @Alicia

Sorry I'm just overly excited.

 

[Ryan]

Skewed perspective. Remember how the artist is laying the scene out.

Supposedly, yes.

@Alicia do you know if (not what) the coaster is tied to an IP?

 

[Magic-Man]

Classic Monsters looks so much bigger than I thought it would be. Anybody know what that stunt show is?
