Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

Looks like a window or door in the red circle. Wonder what that’s for? Could a scare actor come out every 15 minutes or so and put on a little show? That would be cool.

My guess is fog effect.

Based on the size of the people in the opposite side of the entry, it appears to be too small for that.

I think that area is just unfinished rock work.

Here the backside.

Is that restaurant actually going to be fully open on the sides or glass? I suppose the restaurant in the lake at Coronado is the same, but seems like it could be rough when it’s hot or cold outside.

Glass. Should be gorgeous. I think it’s rumored to be Seafood too, which I love so… everyone can run into me there.

It's going to be one hell of a reveal when entering and walking down the grand staircase to the dining area.

Is it me or all of sudden there is tons of theming happening simultaneously ???

Like just a little while ago slow progress was being made right but now it’s full speed ahead.

Yes. We're reaching the stages where theming will be popping up, seemingly overnight, throughout Epic. This coming stage is more interesting for me. Bare construction only held my attention a bit. Each post seemed about the same, so I didn't pay a whole lot of attention. Now's comes the part that intrigues me.

Most theming will probably be finished by next summer, so things will be ramping up significantly in the next few months. Super Nintendo World especially, because the theming needs to be done before the animatronics are added.

My guess is next 6-8 months are the most interesting construction wise, then the wait truly begins.

 

[PerceptiveCoot]

Nintendo should probably be themed fast, assuming most of the elements are pre-fab.

I'm kind of expecting this kind of pace of new things showing up for the next 12 months.

Dark Universe is a land 100 years in the making and a love letter to UCMs

The hub really does have similarities to Vegas ... could that be their plan? A destination within a destination.

After seeing the Dark Universe portal I'm really realizing that basically this is the "Villains" land Disney people have always dreamed of...

Funny how a Villains land was “proposed” by Disney while this was already well under construction and not even officially announced.

Still not a huge fan of the outside of these, but the insides look great
