Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

You smokin somethin gabe or is that legit?

It's not legit at all. Anyone who is in the wastewater business could tell you it's not feasible. Source: I'm in the wastewater business.

Considering aeration and clarifiers are an integral part of the treatment process; it would be impossible to enclose it.

A wall? Sure. Deodorizing products? Absolutely. Enclosed? 100% impossible.

It would make sense since the land where the park will be doesn’t smell too great as of right now, but I don’t remember exactly where I heard that from so I could be wrong.

I was thinking... maybe that's why Fantastic Beasts is an enclosed land... it's closest to the poo!

They're going to surround the sewage plant with ET scented candles. While I was having my house built, we rented a house that was about 50 yards from the Clairton (Deer Hunter movie) sewage plant. The scent wasn't raw sewage but the chemicals had a nasty smell.

I know I posted about this in the past when they bought the land and had a nice long post or two about it. But essentially, if a plant wants to cover the smell, they can. There are some wastewater plants next door to million dollar homes and fancy business all across America and they rarely, if ever, smell. It's just a more expensive and time consuming process, but it's more than feasible. If Mr. Millionaire can get smells resolved, what do you think Mr. Corporate Billionaire can do?

Granted, there can be a "plant upset" where things go upside-down, the bugs get killed, etc and it can stink intermittently; but I wouldn't expect this thing to stink at all considering the tax base and revenue this park is going to bring in.

Hopefully their themed smells will help a bit.

 

[ParksManDan]

They could have themed that outdoor coaster to Oscar the Grouch and the smells would have been "In Theme"

That was my first thought! Keep the stuff closest to the sewer plant enclosed to keep any smells away.

Trust me, Paris has many places that smell like crap so it's all in theme.

But can't you go through toilets to get to the Ministry of Magic?

Anyway, here's a ground photo from Reddit:

Looks like it could be a photo from within the construction site - are those allowed to be posted here?

That's from the road and walkway next to it. There's a whole portion on Destination Parkway that doesn't have a fence blocking it.

Looking at this, I'm not so sure:

Epic Universe, Universal- park entrance : OrlandoFun

Right now (in preparation for the possibility of the hurricane), the scrims are down on the fence around the property. You can really get a sense of how big a project it is when you see the earthworks going on without the scrims. If anyone is able they should take some pictures while the scrim is still down.

UOR has placed the public officials approving permits under NDAs.

 

[UniversalRBLX]

I'm really hoping they set up a time lapse camera.

Things will still leak, and there will always be things that are submitted that become public record.

Hell ya. Things even leak from the source, Universal Creative.
