I chose not to reply publicy to them, I would just point out what has been shared thus by people like @Alicia is anything but "B Level" and any budget for a $2b-ish theme park will be costed out over a period of 16-24 Financial quarters and despite the pandemic last Financial Year Comcast finished the FY with Free Cash Flow of $13.3 Billion, so this notion they needed to dramatically slash the budget for Epic Universe is very silly
As I’ve stated before, any changes to the plans, including removals, will likely lead to BETTER replacements.I chose not to reply publicy to them, I would just point out what has been shared thus by people like @Alicia is anything but "B Level" and any budget for a $2b-ish theme park will be costed out over a period of 16-24 Financial quarters and despite the pandemic last Financial Year Comcast finished the FY with Free Cash Flow of $13.3 Billion, so this notion they needed to dramatically slash the budget for Epic Universe is very silly
The only possible bad tweaks I could see would be saving a couple things for phase 2 to get the park opened faster... but I would guess they would be closer to stuff like Storm and Flying Unicorn at IOA, and nothing major.Yeah, I agree with @Alicia assessments. And certain Insiders have said that a number of the Creatives working in Beijing had prominent roles on former Universal Orlando D and E attractions,
so they'll just be repurposing that senior creative staff to Epic now that Beijing is done. I'm guessing that Epic still is basically on the same track, possibly with some tweaking. But that's natural
with any large project. Heck, Beijing tweaked out F&F at the last minute after those horrendous reactions from guests and others. Tweaks aren't always bad. That was a 'good tweak'.
As I’ve stated before, any changes to the plans, including removals, will likely lead to BETTER replacements.
Some column A, some column B.On opening day?
Or a hypothetical second phase?
I just want this sooner than later...
