Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

[Parkscope Joe]

You are probably looking at all the coasters you will see for a very long time.

I’ll take up that challenge!

Nothing being built now is leaving for 20-25 years I bet.

Wouldn't be surprised to see the Fast & Furious drift coaster after supercharged bites the dust.

Cheap addition (for Universal) and will somewhat balance the offerings from IOA and give them some time to figure out what to do long-term with Springfield/MIB/etc.

Wait I just realized this is a construction thread, is there a more pertinent thread to discuss this?

Because I'd definitely like to discuss it more

 

[Suchomimus]

I'm almost surprised @/alicia hasn't followed this up with a report.

There's a wish list thread as well.

I just did one a week ago and all changes since then have been incremental. It takes me so long to do a video that sometimes Bio posts new pics by the time I’m posting, so I have to pick my battles lol

Fresh Monsters construction update.....

 

[mainejeff]

Does anyone else think that the Monsters coaster is taking up way more real estate than it deserves?

Without knowing exactly what is going where....I would have preferred seeing it elongated along the service road.

It really doesn't take up much space to be honest. if the queue is in the middle, you still have a path that goes through it. What I am saying is the layout of the coaster takes up what 1 acre? 2? And the queue, i am on the fence because it could add to the thematic/scenery of the land.

Weirdly excited/curious for whatever that little building is we’re going to enter in on the other side of the portal.

Duelling coaster looks incredible! But genuine concern over how long it will duel for? I know people will point to the scanners/presumed Veloci-style lockers but Duelling Dragons/Dragon Challenge had scanners for its last 5/6 years but didn’t duel. What do we think keeps this one going?

Difference is that it’s a racer, not a “dueler.” It’ll keep its gimmick because it doesn’t have any moments where the trains are going “head-on” with each other. That instance, and the a-holes who would use it to throw coins at the other train, is why Dragons stopped dueling.

While I do agree on it keeping its gimmick, there is one dueling element, and that's the big turnaround at the front before heading off towards the second launch. Other than that, it's all racing and facing the same direction.

10 pages of Monsters is too short! How long is the track? That's too short! The launches are too close, it needs to be bigger!

Then a picture of the full track is posted and instantly, it takes up too much space. :think:
