Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

[HandsomePete]

Staggering how much work is going on.

The thing that pleases me is that it's not obvious from the outside roads that this much work is going on. Granted, I never drive across Sand Lake Road but the Universal Blvd. side looks more or less the same minus the construction to create one intersection (and the idiotic decision to turn off the light at the Hilton Vacation Club place).

You can actually see the Monsters or Potter show building from Universal Blvd near Icon Park. I was surprised about how big it is.

I think that is one thing we don't get a sense of. That being how big this actually is from the photos we are looking at. It's not until you realize that next to the building we have seen go up is a tiny little (relatively) construction bulldozer or something similar. And that the people are smaller than that. I don't think it will actually register until we see doors framed out.

That circular lagoon is huge ... could have a Vegas style fountain show?

Definitely a fountain show and most likely timed with the fireworks behind the hotel.

I drive Sand Lake 5 days/week to work. It looks like they are building a city. Especially this week since they have been tilting up the building right next to Sand Lake. I'll get a ground level pic tomorrow.

And as far as the Potter showbuilding being big. A while back I called it something stupid like Guardians of the Magical World: Cosmic Timeturner. Anyway this pic shows 2 workers on the roof. It gives perspective. It's a BA building.

Obviously, credit to Bio for the amazing pics!

The MoM building is gigantic! This has me super intrigued.

Wow I couldn’t even see the people on the roof at first. That sure is a gigantic show building and I know the attraction is probably gonna be one of Uni’s best.

I'm seeing the warehouse and the trial chambers being in the attraction. Wild ride though the warehouse after trial?

I always appreciate the updates but I pretty much never know what i'm looking at from ground level. Is that large steel ride building Monsters or Potter?

 

[GAcoaster]

That's Potter. It's HUGE (to quote Fun Spot)...

Jesus that's a big warehouse.

I'm rooting for a hall of prophecy wild ride. It could be the Gringotts that should have been

From my understanding, that will eventually be a merchandising warehouse, but will stage interior theming elements during construction.

It's ridiculous that we're getting a proper new theme park and the majority of theme park twitter is discussing a billboard. lol

This is a dumb sentiment. Let people talk about the cool billboard. The new park will have its time now and for the rest of history.
