Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

The entrance to the park looks fantastic and it's great to see the Chronos just about complete!

It's going to be interesting to find out stats like how many trees have been planted around the park and they keep bringing in more. AK is probably the only park I can think of in Orlando that might have more?

Walking towards the park is going to make EU look like an oasis coming from the far end of the parking lot. The heat shimmer off the pavement in the summer is going to really sell that effect.

Made me think of

WESH posted some great aerial video of Epic from their latest flyover:

Comcast eager for Epic Universe opening as park revenue drops in 2nd quarter

Revenue at Universal parks in the U.S. dropped nearly 11% in the second quarter

Here's the video without the story:

I do wish they would stop referring to the theme park as 750 acres. Thats the whole land. The park is around 100 or so.

Yup, and unfortunately Universal isn't doing much to combat those claims as they mentioned in their Epic Universe preview center video last week that Epic is a 500+ acre theme park. Mind you, most people can't picture how large an acre is so nobody will really notice. And considering how much walking space Epic has, it'll "feel" larger, but really isn't.
