This seems a bit of a bust so far. No IP details or timeframe. Basically ‘we’re opening a new park’ which is great of course. But you can’t expect people to get too excited about a new park which could open at any point and with no knowledge of the rides.

You should have had your expectations in check to be honest. This park hasn’t started any major construction so things are constantly changing and we are lucky to even have gotten a concept art.

Oooooh, we just needed brighten the image, and then we would have seen the name! :bonk:

No mention of Bourne, JW coaster, etc

 

[Dhdhddh]

I'm gonna say UCM top left, Nintendo bottom left, Dreamworks bottom right, and Fantastic Beasts top right.

EPIC UNIVERSE

They literally trademarked this for everything under the sun July 18th.

:nana:

I think it’s fair to say that 99% of people on this forum expected more than just ‘here’s what we’re calling the park’. I’m excited of course, just don’t think the announcement is epic.

I suppose most people didn't know that the park was in the works. Not everyone follows Inside Universal to keep up to date with theme parks...to them this would be an epic announcement.

Yeah I completely understand the disappointment as you wanted more info. But that’s the beauty as that info can freely come out over time now. They just let the biggest cat out of the bag and now can proceed with the others.

The new location will feature a theme park, an entertainment center, hotels, shops, restaurants and more.

Uhm.. I'm actually thrilled with all of this and didn't need more? Concept art is a plus.

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

So it has a layout similar to USF but with a bunch of Diagon Alley’s themed to different IP’s. Cool stuff! Is the water fountain the Cinderella Castle of this park?

 

[tielo]

It's quite an empty universe, isn't it.
Also the unthemed coaster(s) don't bode well.
Two large outside stadium like venues with no shade.
I like the big circular buildings and the hotel is quite overpowering the image. I'm not sure if it is a good thing.
I'm just, dare I say it, not very excited, yet.

I love it in front of what looks like a Hotel! Also it looks like this park will have fireworks?

Remember this is only early concept art.

Remember this is only early concept art.

It lines up with EVERYTHING I have heard though. Actually has more than I had heard about. I think this is some pretty accurate art, at least as far as the lands go.

I know, and I'm sure it is going to be awesome but this single piece of art doesn't get me excited. It's just an observation.
