    Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

    Is there any chance the Monster's Coaster utilizes some additional type of ride technology to enhance the experience? Maybe something AR related, similar to Mario Kart, or even a brand new type of tech? I know this might push the bounds of what's considered a "kid's experience" but it could...

    Universal Parks Regional Expansion Thread

    I've had this conversation before with a few friends. I really do believe whichever company (Disney/Uni) figures out how to have a presence near NYC first, will cash in big time. Legoland recently opened a Resort in New York. A few hours Northeast of NYC. New York has A LOT of open land that is...

    Twister...Ride It Out

    If they were smart they would take a more grounded and realistic approach. Make it an action drama. Maybe even base it on an actual tornado event. Focus on character development. Make the tornadoes extremely terrifying via perspective and build up. (ie the tornado in Man of Steel). Make us...

    Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

    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 ?

    What's more intense than a Magic Kingdom ?

    Universal Orlando August 1 Press Conference

    I recall Uni filing a trademark for "Epic Universe" back in 2018. Could this also include a Resort Rebrand announcement ? I don't think it's coincidence they included the word "Epic" in bold.

    Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

    I agree JPRA is quite iconic but it's very outdated. And yes they likely would demolish the ride but the footprint is perfect for a new ride. With the updating of Terminator, removal of Twister, Disaster, Jaws and changing Back to the Future, I feel like it's just a matter of time until they...

    Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

    What about a rebuild of JPRA as Jurassic World: Escape. Ride Vehicles are Mercedes Benz SUVs (because the JW/Mercedes Love is real). Escaping Isla Nublar as the volcano erupts. Something like Kong meets Dinosaur at Disney's AK. Lots of opportunities for thrills, fire, cameos by Blue, Owen on...

    Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

    Personal Hope: It's similar to Typhoon Lagoon's wave pool with the massive wave every few minutes. Personal Expectation: It will be a more subdued traditional 'rough water' wave pool. Thoughts: Typhoon Lagoon can pull off the larger waves because there's areas of the wave pool where the large...

    Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

    Wow. 10 days out and still no video of the eruption testing. Either they've done it at 3am a few times and are happy with the results (somehow no one caught a glimpse aside from that random twitter guy a while back) or they've yet to actually test it. Craziness. Really anticipating seeing that.

    I believe that video is a tad old. Given the protective covering on the Drop slide still. But yikes look at the wind blowing the water off the mountain. I imagine this feature may be weather specific. Maybe not running on windy days ?

    Anyone else think it's about time to test the nightly eruption ? :drool:

    It would probably seen less annoying if you weren't slipping in little jabs at the community. Like referencing someone's lack of posts or insinuating we don't understand basic reason. Definitely doesn't make me feel unwelcome to this forum. Which is a first in this thread for me.

    It'd be great if Universal could test the eruption at night...ya know ? To make sure it works and stuff lol. I feel like they are waiting until the last moment and that makes me nervous.

    I believe that's 100% correct.

    I DID hear about that. The Orlando Informer Podcast mentions it as being rumored. Essentially, the rumor is you can have two Tapu Tapu reservations at any one time. One of them is the Aqua Coaster which is indeed automatically assigned when you enter the park (probably to ensure everyone...

    Welp I broke. We planned to not visit Uni until next year but I couldn't wait any longer. Heading down for a week at the end of June. Beyond excited to experience VB in person. Last time I was at Universal, Volcano Bay was just a big dirt pile I could see from my hotel balcony. I'm sure you all...

    Oh yes and don't forget the Wet & Wild plot! I imagine something is going to start to happen there pretty quickly. Lots of fun things on the horizon

    I know. It is what it is. I'm still very much looking forward to riding it and irrationally fearing for my life :yikes:
