Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

If we do get a scene in that section, I'd assume it's something like the Velocicoaster raptors in scene 1.

I personally prefer animatronics in places you can spend time with them like the Kong queue.

@Scott W. And I have discussed whether it could be a mixture. Like....screens pass 1, screens pass 2, AA pass three.


Remember that VC initially was meant to have a raptor AA on a swing arm come out at the Brake Run

While I think this is an overall good idea for the land objectively…

I’d still personally rather have a very well themed show, and some other interactivity things instead to fill the space the coaster is now taking. I hope to eat my words and this is a little gem!

I like the idea, but I don't get the point of an expensive animatronic (unless its a static figure) for it to be only seen for a few seconds? Personal preference obviously, I would rather that money goes to some rockwork/theming lol

I mean people are still talking about the Yeti

Cool animation of the coaster. Imagine it spinning, that would put some extra excitement in there.
The building scene could also go on above you, I'd be cool. Maybe the first time you are in the building it's a man, but the second time he's changed into woolfy.

 

[UniversalRBLX]

I just realized... what's the point of an animatronic if you are spinning and one side won't see it? (Unless they have 2 which would be weird)

Re-rideability?

Ive been assuming the ceiling will be a visible point of reference for the swing launch segment... since you can be sure everyone can see it.

You'll have to ask @Scott W. Nicely to see the vomit comet version spinning version

Will we? This is a spinning coaster….

 

[tommyhawkins]

"Spinning coaster" even for Mack coasters is incredibly varied . Xtreme cars and Family Spinning cars are not the same type of rotation. Spinning can be unlocked at the third launch as just one example. But these cars are interesting

 

[shiekra38]

i dont like the stop version I ended up with. it flows better when it doesnt stop. here's a very very rough draft

Yeah a swing launch on a spinner will be way more fun that people are giving it credit for

No matter which way you’re facing, everyone can look up.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

OOOHHHHH I thought you meant on the approach from the first portion of the ride, not inside. Got you.

OMG bats are up!

 

[Alicia]

OMG bats are up!

So is the moon?

 

[MakoMania]

You could also have a mechanically controlled spin and focus riders intentionally in a certain direction.

 

[belloq87]

I still can't fully buy that Universal is going to make us attempt to believe that it's night when we've just entered from -- and are about to exit back into -- blazing sunlight.

OMG bats are up!

There's a way they probably could make Dracula work, depending on how much "story" is supposed to be conveyed in this scene. During daytime rides, you could spin it as Dracula hiding up in the rafters, out of the sunlight. At night, he could just be on the prowl for victims.

Why would he be stuck in a barn during the day instead of sleeping in his coffin? I don't know! But I would accept that more easily than the Wolf Man being the focus.

Moon Bats will be big in spring

It could be the villagers mistake us for Monsters and burn down the barn or just that the barn is set on fire in general

IDK, the night to day thing is kind of an interesting thing to me as well

It works in Hagrid because the forest is always rather dark in cannon

Here, idk
