Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

[JungleSkip]

It's less Potter than the MoM attraction and keeps it locked to one side of the park. If you're discussing adding more Potter anyway I'd prefer they replace a bad attraction with it and make it passable and leave the rest of the space (Kidzone, FF, AA, MIB) for other properties.

Eh. I just dunno if there's anything that *can* make that ride passable without gutting it and sticking something else in there.

A C-ticket dark ride seems like a sensible and realistic option for USF in the years before EU opens. In the Shrek space, or KidZone, or even slotted somewhere into New York.

I doubt it'll happen, but USF needs the Pets ride. We need more kid-friendly fare, and not just shows.

That's what my money would be on. Ticks all the right boxes.

Think positive! If we all concentrate hard enough, maybe we can will it into existence!

Both parks need a big show. FFL and both IoA stadiums sitting empty is just inexcusable

For the 30th anniversary, I would have loved Universal to bring back the Wild Wild West Show.

Not surprising, but I learned today that among the designers of Epic Universe the operative word is "Immersive"

They are striving to make everything as immersive as Diagon.

If they can pull it off this will really be a game changer.

Immersive... can also include interactive too.

Without a doubt! They learned a lot from Wizarding World-- interactivity makes the world come to life and makes money!

If the interativity is as well-thought out as Nintendo, they should have no problem.

Crucifixes for UM confirmed!

Honestly, I think it would be cool to have the potential Frankenstein’s Monster meet and greet be like the Ollivander’s show. Multi theater, walk us through the lab, and pick a kid to flip the switch that brings The Monster alive

Then let people snap picks galore

It needs to be a game changer. Anyone with enough money can build a theme park (see Dubai) but to build an industry changing park comes along once in a lifetime. I hope it is as great (epic) as it can be.

I know it's a show but the best move they could realistically make for USF right now would be Sing On Tour replacing Shrek--cheap and a screen attraction getting replaced with a non-screen attraction.

Considering that the Nintendo folks were on EU (before *waves arms* that Friday in July 2020) I don't see why this wouldn't be the next generation of interactive elements.

M&G fail if we can’t also dance with him.

That's the scene they need to get the rights to if they have a Monsters Show. It's one of the classic musical comedy scenes of all time.

Everyone remember this thread is for news not speculation.

Concept art taken from the artist's portfolio. I will not share it here. They probably shouldn't have shared it to begin with. And it probably shouldn't be shared on the forums.

But...

It looks pretty darn accurate and current according to site plans to me.

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Well I wasn’t going to share this as we shouldn’t.... but since it’s been shared,

Omg y’all it looks GOOD.
