Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

[belloq87]

But PULEEEZ no revolving dome screens!!!

Yeah, I'm all for using the Kuka concept again, but I would prefer Universal not draw so heavily from Forbidden Journey's structure of "real scene, dome simulator, real scene, dome simulator, etc." It would be such a blatant rip-off of their own previous work, and I'd like for the Monsters ride to be fresh.

If I'm not mistaken, Forbidden Journey uses the Robocoaster G2 which is a Kuka arm attached to a fixed flat track through the ride. If the Classic Monsters are getting a Kuka robocoaster attraction, it would be great to see the Robocoaster G3 finally realized. It's currently only in conceptual phase right now, but it's basically a Kuka arm that runs on a 3 dimensional rollercoaster track. It would truly be a one of a kind roller coaster experience and create a far more "thrilling" experience than Forbidden Journey's.

I would love to see a ride that starts like Haunted Mansion. At load just looks like a regular omnimover. Then a few scenes in the RV just starts floating into the air. Would blow people’s minds.

I wonder who is all going to be involved in ride production ?? Dynamic Attractions, Mack, Oceaneering and maybe Sally I don’t know.

Hasn't Mack been heavily rumored to be present in the new park? And I'd be surprised if we didnt see Dynamic Attractions leave their mark as well. As far as Sally goes, I don't think they have worked with Universal since the building of ET, so I wouldn't count on it... but hey, anything is possible.

Gerstlauer, Intamin, Setpoint, etc...

Yeah some posters stated Mack was working on one it’s biggest projects ever and it wasn’t due to open for a couple of years.

 

[Alicia]

Dynamic, Oceaneering, and SetPoint just for Nintendo alone. And I’m sure Dynamic will have their hands in a few more around the park as well.

I could definitely see Mack working on a few, including maybe the two other coasters that we know about, but no confirmation on that.

Uni doesn’t have any trackless rides does it ?

Didn't Trowbridge take the revolving dome screens patent with him to Disney.

Kong and Fast & Furious are trackless.

 

[OrlLover]

Kong and Fast & Furious are trackless.

Thanks I couldn’t remember at the moment.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

Kong and Fast & Furious are trackless.

Also, early incarnations of Pet's had Oceannering on-board for a trackless system.

 

[Alicia]

I wonder if a floo network ride for Fantastic Beasts could be trackless, or partially trackless like Rise of the Resistance or Runaway Railway, with some sections locking into other ride systems.

That would be cool.

Thought F&F was busbar?

 

[Mad Dog]

Thought F&F was busbar?

No. A couple of people here said it was going to be busbar, before it opened. Turned out to be trackless, the same as Kong

Ah ok, thanks mate!

 

[shiekra38]

I have yet to be wowed by a trackless attraction.

Until Rise opens and potentially changes my opinion I'm hoping Universal stays away

If there’s a patent on the dome screens it’s almost assuredly in Universal’s name, not a former employee’s
