Universal Q2 2026 Results

Revenue would have gone up, because you now have to buy a ticket for 3 parks, not two, that would be up to 50% increase in ticket revenue. Many different businesses put their prices up immediately after the pandemic even though actual visitors dropped and it looked like they weren't any worse off.

The thing they feared- Epic cannibalising IOA/USF appears to have happened, but the plan was originally to have a few new things open in north campus to balance out the new park then epic got more expensive. They're only just getting round to building those now.

This should act as a cautionary tale for the dumbass idea to put Orlando attractions in Universal Studios London. Why rob Peter to pay Paul?

If COVID doesn't happen, if the current economy doesn't happen... you probably get those few years worth of growth.

Bad timing for Epic.

I mean, I feel like that was easy to see coming. Building a new park in the first place was an incredibly gutsy (or a different part of the body-sy) move given the fundamental problems that have existed for a while now.

F&F coaster is guaranteed to happen but of everything else up the pipeline, what’s most likely to survive and what’s most likely to get cut?

@Evan (because I can’t figure out multi-quote in editing and don’t want to double-post): for me the most twisted irony is that a certain individual who calls Florida their home state is behind a lot of this.

I’ve been wondering when CapEx cuts are coming. We have lived in unprecedented times with UO, building new lands, attractions, refurbishments, revamps of CityWalk, new parks, new hotels, etc.

The output has been insane. It was never going to last.
