Oof that is not good. Fantastic Worlds is way better

Don’t want to go to the EW?

Epic Universe, so EU, which makes me think of all the terrible, terrible Star Wars books that people whined about being erased from canon a few years ago, which makes the name even worse

Lol I have no idea how I forgot it was Epic Universe and not Epic Worlds in the two seconds it took to switch pages. 12 hour shifts are bad for your brain.

 

[ZachPL]

The trademark bot twitter says they trademarked both "Epic Universe" and "Universal's Epic Universe"

Universal’s Epic Universe, from the Redundancy Department of Redundant Names.

 

[Magic-Man]

I imagine that this would just be a codename, similar to WonderSea. ‘Cause that name is horrible.

They won't use it, but we'll still end up seeing prop shipping crates around the park with the word "EPIC" on it anyway, hehe.

 

[Disneyhead]

Sounds like a new name for the new night show at USF.

 

[pat_naughty05]

The name seems like it could be a rebranded name of the entire resort. I sincerely hope not, as I’m sure we all remember how the Universal Escape debacle played out.

Either way, I have trouble believing this would be the name of a single park. It just doesn’t fit IMO.

Universal can be dumb sometimes, but they're not that dumb.

I agree. I just don’t think the name fits for a single park. It sounds like it should encompass more (or preferably, not be used).

 

[ChristopherSE]

2010 meme culture ruined the word “epic” for me for the rest of my life.

 

[Magic-Man]

I don’t know why, but this strikes me as a resort-hotel name. They have to start trademarking the names sooner or later.

There's no way this is a hotel.

I know it just seems like a hotel name to me.

I'm awaiting Awesome Super Silly land for the new Minions themed land. Universal should get it's own A.S.S.

We have enough A.S.S in Universal already, thank you very much

Actually could Epic Universe being the second resort area name with Fantastic Worlds being park within it beforehand people seem to state and repeat that the second campus would likely be two dry parks and 1 wet?

LIke an over encompassing theme of the second area vs the main UOR campus.

If Uni wants another “Universal Escape” situation on their hands, that might be the case
