Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

[JungleSkip]

I mean, that'd be WAY more fun haha. Only thing I can think of regarding this is that they're adding Pokemon here opening day and that isn't ready yet. Im fine if that is the case. Or they're redesigning, or re-thinking/re-theming, who knows. But this is more fun lol.

I think it's mostly to do with COVID. I would not expect the park to be bigger or more elaborate than what we've already had teased

You thinking the wizarding world will stay all potter? Maybe trolls gets added to dreamworks world?

Or as Andy hinted on Twitter, perhaps this could just be a clever way of blaming a planned delay to make some major changes to the plans on a global pandemic.

You also have to wonder if any changes are being made because of the pandemic.

We all seem to be in agreement that the park experience is going to change and opening a new park and then having to make changes for social distancing isn’t a smart move.

Watching your video about Fantastic Beasts being indoors seems a little impractical when indoors is being cited as being more dangerous than outside.

...Me wonders if Universal Creative is relooking into Fantastic Beasts, especially given the indoor nature of it.

awesome article alicia!

That's awesome, to bad it's cancelled now


kidding kidding that's a joke


But seriously, to not expect some kind of delay in EU given the current situation would be unwise

Here's a (very) high res version of the site plan from the article for analyzing.

I don't think they should be planning for that when in 2024 there should be a vaccine

Also...perhaps some of the new ride developments were a tad behind. This gives them the excuse to take their time to get it right......................

If Monsters is getting cancelled again just tell us so we can all let out the tears now.

Been hearing for a few weeks that the EU is delayed a year, contractors for some parts were let go (probably due to the delay), BUT BUT BUT have not heard of any changes to the park. As far as I'm concerned Andy's the only source for that rumor and I cannot verify it.

Thanks for sharing the info. Some folks have contacted me regarding Fantastic Beasts being replaced last minute, but last I heard it was still in the cards as of March... Also, this:

I came across someone on a different forum (UrbanPlanet) who was reporting a delay a few weeks ago, based on what they had heard in construction:

Considering how much IOA changed up until opening, I could see several things being different from original intent

But perhaps not

@Alicia it’s pretty interesting to see the lab tower labeled as a possible quick service in Frankenstein’s Village. Imagine crazy mad scientist type food! awesome

That's the windmill. And it looks to have a small kitchen attached, so fairly certain it's for food in some way. (Also, this is better suited for the speculation thread.)
