They completely changed the ride system to the coaster track. It was originally a track-wire monorail system.

And the cars were meant to bump. But be safe.

It was a whole mess

I don’t believe any of these choices are rush jobs. I think this is a false dichotomy.

Well reading the last couple of posts would make you believe otherwise.

Of course I’m keeping an open mind and want to be proven wrong. On the more positive side I’m happy to see various projects in the works at the same time.

Amusingly enough, there's a little more to that name as well!

And we all thought Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure was long in the tooth.

If the ask is to expedite capacity, an indoor coaster is the quickest and cheapest option unfortunately.

They can easily get it up and running relatively quickly.

I think I found the perfect flat ride system for the Celestial Park for whole family can enjoy.

The Intamin Flying Island(Efteling pagoda ride)

IMG_9782.webp

For the ride's location, I suggest utilizing the undeveloped grass plot adjacent to the Atlantic restaurant, as highlighted by the yellow line in the photo. The ground-level operational footprint requires roughly 68m x 18m (223 ft x 59 ft). This specific parcel of land accommodates those dimensions perfectly, providing ample room for the track system as the circular observation deck maneuvers into position, pivots upward for the flight, and safely returns to the loading station.

I mean, it's basically Bioreconstruct: The Ride! (Just kidding, haha).

But seriously, Epic Universe's layout is masterfully designed, yet unless you're up at Bar Helios, everyday guests can't fully appreciate the grand scale of the park. This addition changes everything. It gives everyone a bird's eye view of the intricate pathways, lush landscaping, millions of lights and fountains, letting you truly feel the kinetic energy of the park from above. Imagine how wildly popular this would be! Everyone would love the chance to take in the sheer beauty of Epic Universe on such a relaxing, comforting attraction. Plus, timing a ride during the nighttime fireworks would be absolutely insane.

IMG_9777.jpeg

The ride vehicles themselves could be beautifully styled with classical Parisian architectural details, seamlessly aligning with the overarching design philosophy of Celestial Park. At night, the entire attraction would transform. Illuminated by an intricate, dynamic lighting package, the structure and vehicles would glow brilliantly across the skyline, capturing the same breathtaking, luminous quality as the Constellation Carousel.

This could be one of the most iconic and intricate landmarks of Celestial Park, along with Constellation Carousel and Helios Grand Hotel.

This and a swing ride would perfectly round out Celestial Park and give quick capacity.

Well who’s been saying that and what’s their track record?

Like others have said, I'm totally fine with an indoor, highly themed coaster. I don't want another outdoor one for a long, long time.

I joked about it on a previous page, but this will unfortunately lead to people complaining about seeing large show buildings from different areas of the park. But it's just the way it is lol
