Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

As far as I can tell, this is the first permit related to the hotel at the back of the park so far?

Interesting shape is interesting.

Interesting article here…….I certainly hope this is the direction universal epic universe park will go in once it does open this decade it’s a few years old but it has some pretty good pointers as to where future attractions might be headed and not be all screens or simulators.

Artificial Worlds: The Rise and Reign of Screens and Simulators at Theme Parks | Theme Park Tourist

There’s only one kind of attraction that can take guests somewhere without really going anywhere at all: simulators.

This should be the area in the bio photo. The piping in the photo looks like electric conduit.

Photo removed. But the area appears to be where the Dueling coasters meet the hub.

They didn't ask me.... lol

But I just found it with a google search. I wondered why I couldn't find it at the source.

Pretty sure this is related to the gigantic ride/show mixed use building for Wizarding World land at Epic Universe.



Anyone have guesses on what the F stands for? Fire maybe? P905/B1620F

It's interesting that all of the recent permits filed were for things clumped around the north-east corner of the land. Whether it be backstage related, the hotel's parking garage, and now the ride building for Potter at the very top-right of the park.

its the north west corner of HTTYD where the coaster helixes up into the show building south of duelling coasters landscaping is graded up a little bit there into a berm kinda shape , you can see it here:

I gotcha. Looking at the plans, I was assuming that was a building, but looking at it now, I guess it is a berm. The amount of conduit risers in one spot led me to think it was a service building.

The above photos are shots i got of the Epic site from the top of the Orlando wheel.

 

[tommyhawkins]

Was unsure what the views are like at the top of the wheel good to know theyre decent enough to pay the money.

More land purchases.

More land purchases.

Lockheed gate guard is going to be busy explaining how that is not a theme park.

This was an interesting quote, "Road work began on the extension in August 2021 and is expected to be completed in Spring 2025."

It’s actually set to be completed BY Spring 2025 if you go by the official documents. I’ve always read it as “at the latest.” But yea.

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

I feel their goal is Memorial Day timeframe 2025. Start previews around Spring Break to begin hype, just in time for the summer, no big special holiday events going on so they won’t be really shoehorned in, this just makes sense to me.

The actual chillers for the chiller plant have started taking shape outside the building.
