Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

Once a tourist is in a car driving on publicly-maintained roads, the “bubble” has popped.

I'd love to know how many on site guests drive vs use the bus system.

Probably very few....but the bubble pops as soon as you're on the bus driving through all those traffic clogged roads to Epic. Its not real far, but it takes a good while, especially from Portofino with the Hard Rock stop. ...At the least, that's the way I felt. It basically feels the same as the ride from an on site WDW hotel to the parks. ....

What do you think the term “bubble pop” here means? Traffic clogged streets to Epic? The busses go on their own roads. What are you even talking about?

I don't want to speak for Mad Dog, but it sounds like he saying the bubble pops and real world issues like bad traffic become more apparent. The busses do have dedicated lanes, but not for the entire drive down. There are several places where they are on the road with regular drivers.

When there are more transportation options to get to and from this new whatever it is and Epic, I could see it used to snatch up convention goers looking for dinner and redirecting them to Epic open hub for a nightcap and fireworks.

It’s all connected.
