Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

[matt78]

I thought people were seeming more solid that was to be for the Scoob-gang?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer confirmed. Seriously though I would look forward to a Scooby-Doo dark ride. It would probably be my favorite area after Nintendo and I am a big Harry Potter fan.

 

[Collin]

Give me a Scooby Doo meets Classic Monsters Show.

Have any insiders actually confirmed that there are going to be rides in the hub other than the coaster? It looks to me that most of buildings in the hub area could just be large restaurants and shops.

Well, there's also the carousel. But other than that I haven't heard anything from the insiders yet.

 

[JungleSkip]

I’ll be flabbergasted if this isn’t a carousel and there’s no attractions in these buildings.

A lot of those buildings in the art are pretty massive as well. I just think it would be surprising if the coaster was the *only* ride in there

 

[OrlLover]

I think it’s smart to include some rides and attractions in the hub as that actually helps supplement the lands as well as fill out the day more.

I don't want to get myself hyped up, but it seems there are a lot of non IP based things in the hub...and I'm here for it

Is anyone as hyped as I am for some proper flat rides?

It always annoyed me how few of them were in the Orl parks with 90% being Dumbo style.

I still want a screaming swing themed to vine singing in the DK area.

Any idea what shows might be in that Monsters stadium? I'm thinking either

1. A monster related stunt show (possibly with Abbott and Costello as comedic relief)

or

2. Phantom of the Opera in the Park (which sounds terrible but feels like a it's-so-bad-it's-good idea)

I feel like the ampitheater is not Monsters related but a concert venue...It seems rather large

 

[Teebin]

I think I saw someone suggest that there is the rumor that one of the monster rides will be Kuka? Did I read correctly? I just hope they don’t pull a spidy/transformers and and use the exact same track layout as FJ. That would make me spit.

Spidey/TF doesn't use the same layout though..

If it's the Kuka robocoaster, part of me would think it'd be a more advanced and intense version of the system, even if it's made with Dynamic Structures/Attractions again.

 

[Teebin]

I was under the impression that it is the exact same layout except that they chopped the layout in two for the elevator to second level.

I misunderstood that monsters might be a Kuka robocoaster. Big difference right there.

 

[ChrisFL]

I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but the left side of the hotel looks like a Chinese themed area. Perhaps a restaurant?

Any chance it could be for a Fantasmic type show.

It could be a monster related show but looking at the concept art you can bypass the Monster area completely to get to the stadium. If it is related it should be a big production due to the size of the stadium.
Anyway I hope it'll see more action than the theater at IOA.

 

[Talking Head]

Before Forbidden Journey, wasn’t the idea to use the Kuka system for a Van Helsing ride?

Not sure, could be fun though

Yes, and I think we'll see some pieces of that for the Monsters ride

Universal hasn't used the Kuka tech again since FJ so I'm excited for it to be implemented into another park

Don't you get my hopes up like that, Legacy.
