I know its likely FAR to early to make a statement like this but Epic Universe could easily become the best Orlando park when it opens in 2023. Seems like a lot of rides that mostly everyone can enjoy minus the dueling coaster, maybe DK although I don't think we know how "intense" thats gonna be, Monsters Ride, and maybe the FB ones? Other than that, rides that are accessible to the masses. Damn this ride and park are truly next level.
I think you're right about everything except Monsters, I think thats rumored to be listed as a thrill ride and a mix of FJ and Haunted Mansion but on steroids. Likely more intense than Forbidden Journey if I had to venture a guess.Actually, every ride here should be relatively friendly for the entire family. The dueling coaster seems very similar to West Coast Racers out in California, and that's an intense family coaster. It's not a thrill coaster. DK is completely a family coaster. The Monsters ride is like FJ, and that's friendly as long as you don't get motion sickness. The FB rides are all family friendly. There's nothing here that's Hulk/Velocicoaster/Doctor Doom level thrill.

Right but I think this version of the FJ ride system is rumored to be more intense. Kinda like the next level of FJ if that makes sense. At least thats how I've interpreted the rumors.FJ isn't really intense, IMO. Not on the level of Hulk at least. It's more or less a simulator that actually moves around physical sets.
I'm a bit worried about the spinning. I don't like it in MIB and I hated it when it was prominent in Cat in the Hat.
Just hope Wario doesn't throw any banana peels at ya thenI'm a bit worried about the spinning. I don't like it in MIB and I hated it when it was prominent in Cat in the Hat.
Yeah, the sheer fact that Alicia said her most anticipated attractions were FB when MK will be there is just making me so hypedJust to think, Epic Universe should have three or four attractions of this caliber (including Mario Kart of course). This is going to be insane.
Yes but the newer version of the ride system used is much more thrill oriented and is the one they’re expected to useFJ isn't really intense, IMO. Not on the level of Hulk at least. It's more or less a simulator that actually moves around physical sets.
Hm must’ve missed where she said this? That’s exciting though. I could see a Ministry tower ride being stunning, dark ride portions like Tower of Terror to go from scene to scene, then thrill elements where you drop, oh could be amazing if that’s the 2nd ride. Imagine dropping and landing in the London Ministry of MagicYeah, the sheer fact that Alicia said her most anticipated attractions were FB when MK will be there is just making me so hyped

I thought they said the second ride was flat out unknown (not ruling out the tower but not pointing to it either). Either way I’m very excited!I believe a couple of insiders ruled out any possibility of the 2nd FB ride being a tower ride. The first ride is a coaster/shooter hybrid, so I'd imagine that the second ride will be an omnimover.
