This thread is dedicated to the construction progress of Universal's Epic Universe, including the park and surrounding areas.

Please keep all discussion limited to construction talk.

General discussion about the new expansion can be found here.

Looks like land clearing is nearing completion. Does anyone know when physical construction may start?

I'd assume any time now! It's funny the raised all that land up and are adding so many water features right down the middle.

So I'm guessing no picture of everyone by the palm tree officially "breaking ground?"

I wonder if they did/will take pictures of the palm tree but won't release it till later. Sort of a, how far we've come type of deal, to build more hype at a later date.

Pretty good overview of the cleared land around the middle of the video.

I did an attempt of overlaying the announcement artwork over the site plans that were previously posted in the expansion thread, it is not perfect but I tried to compensate for the perspective.

I don’t believe we have seen any of the massive (and deep) concrete sewer and stormwater pipes sitting around or being laid yet, correct? I get all trembly and excited when I see stormwater management in action.

I went and did 2 quick mocks of the concept art combined with google maps (one to show distance/scale in comparison the existing parks, one to show a little more detail on placement. They're not perfect, but meant as approximations):

Hmmm, odd, the images are loading on my end, but not in incognito, give me a sec and I'll try to fix it

EDIT: Should be good to go now (hopefully)

I believe the placement should be further south (left on image). Probably slightly smaller as well (as indicated by the dueling coaster extending too far out).

If I’m not mistaken, they’re going to enclose the sewage treatment plant at some point before the park opens. Partially to hide it, partially to keep the smell out.
