Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

[tielo]

Bruh trust me, you want to spin...You can get that thing going so fast that you're basically tumbling over and over...It's a friggin blast

I guess I will be a sprinkler with 3 exit points going around and around if I ever would do that. I looked green only by watching the video.
But if I don't mess it up I think it could be a very nice ride with some nice views.

You have to work pretty hard to get it going like that

Yes, riding more than once and getting better at it is a hidden element of the ride I wasn't expecting

Personally I would rather the HTTYD coaster be MACK. They have the most comfortable trains I have ever been on plus it lends itself to be highly immersive and well themed. The layout reminds me of Manta in San Diego who's course traverses over water and elevation change.

Simple idea for Monsters Ride assuming it uses a system similar to Forbidden Journey...

Mount the carousel to the ceiling and face the projection domes downwards (imagine the domes attached to the blades of a ceiling fan). Have the guests positioned with their backs to the ground and simulate flying straight up into the sky.

I don't think the human body can stand that position, while moving, for a long period of time.

How many actual rides is Monsters rumored to have? I was thinking that a boat ride ala POTC in the depths & catacombs of Frankensteins Castle would be pretty cool.

Just one so far, but it's a kuka arm dark ride like Forbidden Journey.

So with the permits, I don't believe anyone mentioned it, HTTYD won't be multileveled, correct? For some reason in the concept art its always looked it, at least for where the flight simulator could go. May just end up being a force perspective type thing however.

The water level definitely seems lower, so I think there will be some elevation changes when going on the Splash Battle and exploring the docks area

I was just looking at EU’s concept art again and was thinking about park weenies. Obviously we’re not getting one in the hub like a traditional castle park and Hogsmeade and Diagon proved land specific ones helps with viral marketing.

So my question is: what does everyone think will be the weenie in each respective land?

The Great Hall/Meade Hall on the Isle of Berk for HTTYD. Presumably it will have a restaurant within and perhaps a bar as well?

I think "the reveal" will take over "the weenie".
Transition and than wow for the whole area you can see so no particular thing.

Right now, the "weenie" for both USF and IOA are Potter related. Hogwarts for IOA and Gringott's+Dragon for USF. I think the "weenie" for EU will be Yoshi's Mountain+Bowser's Castle. I would like USF get something other than Potter. Something massive in scale and immediately recognizable. Something like this...

Im sorry.... "Weenie"?

Park icon. Cinderella Castle, Spaceship Earth, Tree of Life, Mickey Water Tower (Disney-MGM Studios).

 

[Mad Dog]

Oh no....not a Star Trek rumor...again....for the millionth time

 

[tielo]

You could google it Weenie dictionary definition | weenie defined
But that is not what we mean.
It's the thing that is exciting that pulls you to the end of the street (like the castle at WDW).

Aren't that park icons (and just some of them are weenies)?

 

[Disneyhead]

No, no. Not saying it would/should happen. Just something big and iconic.

I could have gone with...
