Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

The fountain closest to the hotel appears to have steps as you get closer. Guessing there will be a night show there.

Yeah it looks like they are going for a full Belagio type show.

Clockwise:
Nintendo, Classic Monsters, Hotel, Fantastic Beasts, HTTYD. Which I think the space between Monsters and Nintendo could be for a new land or an expansion onto Nintendo. The land between FB and HTTYD could be for more Dreamworks or for more Fantastic Beasts.

Top right looks like European setting. Maybe Fantastic Beasts? French Ministry o' Magic?

Yup. Bottom Left is Nintendo, Top Left Monsters, Top Right Potter, bottom right is probably Dragons. I think the big coaster looks like it comes off the Hub. Looks like other attractions in the hub too

Also

I think we're on the same page? This is what I was just about to post before reading your's.

I don’t think FB deserves a theme park world. But everything else looks great. I’ll just stay on the left side of the park and hangout with MARIO and Dracula

Stupid double post

 

[Magic-Man]

Inside Universal Posts: We won't get a big coaster! It wouldn't fit in any of the lands!

Universal: Fine. How about putting a giant coaster in the hub instead?

 

[snayberry]

This is so awesome. It’s official now and even with concept art. Lit.

One thing is certain:

The lands don’t link up, they’re all dead ends and they all have one entrance and exit.

That’s going to be interesting.

 

[RFRees]

The 'having a pathway between worlds' idea is pretty much dead I would imagine. You'd need a long pathway through nothingness in order to do so, considering it looks like the expansion pads are spacing the lands apart.

You beat me to it, by seconds! lol

Coaster looks fine. It’s big but it looks low and going off to its own space rather than looming over neighboring stuff.

 

[Mr. EPCOT]

This makes it sound like there will be some sort of CityWalk and more than just the one hotel.

 

[Magic-Man]

Looks like we are getting some form of a CityWalk 2.0 after all!

 

[DragonSlayer]

Ironically, the aesthetic of the architecture in the entrance area is really giving me what Star Wars could/might have been... Cool and otherworldly, bright, elegant, whimsical but with an edge. I love it.

Lots of versions flying around already, but this image from the Close Up blog is the highest resolution which has the full frame rather than being a crop.

Nintendo is strange looking. I can tell which part is Donkey Kong but the Mario section looks really strange. I think I can see the entrance for Mario Kart (being Bowser's head again).

 

[SailwiththeTide]

Interesting to see how much of this actually happens.

 

[k_peek_2000]

Very exciting

 

[Eastcoast]

Looks like a small family coaster bottom right too.

 

[fryoj]

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.

 

[jrn14]

Any ideas as to what that is between Dreamworks and Fantastic Beasts... Looks like a possible small Sci-Fi attraction? Def not in either world.
