Epic Universe Expansion Speculation

We think they may be getting ready to start on Parking garages? While I can't fathom they'd be even considering the next park yet, I think an argument can be made to get Citiwalk 2.0 up and running.

Would it be worth adding another CityWalk when the current one is (I'd argue) underutilized on the upper level?

Outside of a Starbucks, a themed or restaurant or two and a Universal store, I can't see another major entertainment district.

I'd argue underappreciated.

I'd argue underappreciated.

I personally love some of the venues (ala Rising Star), but the area always appears empty.

its 35 acres, not 88 .

You know what else is 35 acres?

the staging parcel, south of Epic Boulevard

The full parcel is 87.2 acres... the 35 is just what the water permit is for. That's what people have been referring to, as the "future development" is the exciting part.

I went to Pat O's and Rising Star a couple of weekends ago, and it was pretty damn busy for a random Jan weekend.

I've also seen Bob Marley's busy on random nights. It's definitely more of a nightlife area.

Different location and different target audience. Are the people staying at the south Campus going to CW 1.0? There's also the Convention center crowd across the street that might be easier drawn there.

I'll admit this is just based on vibes tbh, but I also feel like Citywalk isn't quite booming enough to justify a second campus. I'm surprised the Escape Rooms have lasted so long. I feel like they would just cannabalize each other.

The excessive parking costs for non-park traffic kinda curbs any nightlife scene that could actually develop there imo.

Just open Celestial Park after 5:30pm and let that be the Citywalk 2.0. That would give some nightlife for Helios, Stella, Terra guests, the Convention crowd to enjoy.
