Epic Universe Preview Center

[Rhian]

how old were they?

I'm terrible at guessing age but they were at least a couple of decades shy of retirement age.

I don’t see the need for it to remain open much past the end of this year.

Yeah, the CityWalk one will feel redundant come June. I could see the one in the airport remaining for a bit longer.

For me this doesn't make sense. Yeah for YOU it's redundant and maybe everyone on this website yeah. But like I said... there's still going to be and still are plenty of people who don't know that Epic Universe is a thing. All of us here on IU are a very niche circle of people. Not everyone is up to date with theme park stuff and only do these things for vacations. I don't see the point in closing that preview center right away after opening. It'll still have value for not only being a gift shop to buy EU merch but to keep making people aware of EU.

Agree - howevever, I think once the Nintendo shop opens, Universal will have a heck of an advert there for Epic Universe. Same with the newly installed led screens on the way from the hub.

I think through the end of the summer/HHN should be enough time for it.

the model will always cause people to be curious and surprised about it. there's always people admiring it. the model alone is its own "attraction" lol. I always see people taking pics. but I wonder if at some point they will remove it to add more merchandise in its place.

Big blunder if they do. Hopefully the model goes away when the store does.

Closing 4/13. Being reverted back to the Legacy Store

Epic, open for a year now, so it's no longer needed. Loved it as a Legacy store.

I imagine a permanent replacement is in the works after they get the new country place open.

I want something truly unique in that space. Nothing wrong with the Preview Center I just want CW to continue to add new and interesting venues. That is prime real estate

 

[UniversalRBLX]

I wish for a themed bar ala Beak and Barrel/Trader Sams somewhere at the resort. Whether it's themed to Jurassic, Jaws, etc.

Combining the space between Hall of Fame and Epic Preview Center would be a huge space

I hope the Telepod didn't end up in a dumpster!

There were rumors of the beer hall/beer garden concept, but not sure if that replaces the store or Hot Dog. The whole building (store, Hot Dog, and Rising Star) could be changed out at once or individually.
