Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

[GAcoaster]

I'm starting to think the red octagonal building could be a carousel. Something about it looks like a carousel pavilion to me...

 

[OrlLover]

That building looks like it would be pretty fitting for Space Fantasy

This looks to be some kind of a attraction and I can see that’s a show building in the back.

This looks to be some kind of dark ride and not a coaster yes that’s a show building in the back.

Restaurant???? Could be a BOH for one too

 

[GAcoaster]

I'm thinking its a restaurant with the kitchen in the back.

I am thinking the same thing haha

Is Epic Universe the park or the complex?

He called the whole area "South Campus" and current parks "North Campus "

I mean it could be but I’m not convinced. :grin:

Which to me confirms doubling the resort size basically. Not just a new park and A hotel. Multiple hotels, maybe another park one day too. Who knows?!!! This is going to lead to so many big things for Universal, really big day for them. Even their announcement felt just more professional or bigger almost. Idk, big day!

If the Hub is Space themed it would be nice if Universal brought Space Fantasy over from Japan

That building looks like it would be pretty fitting for Space Fantasy

I really would like this to happen.

Would be super weird to have 2 coasters right next to one another

Less weird than Minion Mayhem and Race Through New York being right next to each other at USF. Or TRON and Space Mountain eventually being right next to each other at Magic Kingdom. Plus, Space Fantasy is considerably different from whatever that giant coaster looks to be in the concept art.

I mean it could be but I’m not convinced. :grin:

I am not totally convinced it’s a restaurant either , hoping for a ride too . But it does give a bit of a BOH vibe to it.

He Did say there is room for and plans for future expansion Watch the u tube video of the announcement

Prediction: All the hub attractions are original concepts

@Alicia do you know if (not what) the coaster is tied to an IP?

I do not know. I don't think it's an IP. Looks to be space-y discovery themed like the hub to me. (That's why I considered it a hub attraction and not a 5th world.)

Prediction: All the hub attractions are original concepts

This. Well, mostly.

I’d say most not all. They’ll probably be some for IPs that can’t hold a land but still need to be represented.

I think one of the hub attractions will be Ready Player One... perhaps the one between HTTYD & FB

My thoughts and wishlist

I imagine the central hub theme to be of Space. It would be cool for Epic Universe to be Nocturnal and the Hub has nightclubs and resturants open all night!

Im not to keen on having a land based on How to Train your Dragon. Good movies but doesnt have an epic feel imo. A themed land based on Dreams would be cool. Theres an turn of the century comic ctrip that was turned into a movie called Little Nemo that had fantastic worlds in dreams would be cool. Also the Sega Saturn game Nights into Dreams is a beautiful game. I can see creative rides being built.

Why the hell are people deadset on that IP showing up? lol

I like the IP, but I doubt we see it here. Wouldn't make too much sense. Space Fantasy seems more likely.

 

[jrn14]

Just a feeling... seems ripe for a theme park screen based/simulator attraction. I am thinking this park will be a lot more practical rides, but this could be done without creating a whole land and once into the ride you could incorporate other IPs Universal has access to without giving them physical rides or lands.

Why did someone just suggest HDYTYD isn't epic but they should build a NIGHTS INTO DREAMS RIDE.

Y'all are crazy.
