Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

Digging these small details (credit to @Alicia for RTing this):

Sooo. . . is the entire monsters land gray scale? I think they could be cool since it is based in a time long ago.

It doesn't appear to be. I don't think that would work in an outdoor environment.

Wow-- streets of Paris are looking REALLY impressive!

What other colors do you see? Aside from brown on the portal tree?

I interpret the the term greyscale as being strictly white, grey, and black, such as the Boris Shuster room in the latest HHN Tribute Store. There definitely will be a range of colors within the land, although they will likely be muted to help portray the gloomy atmosphere.

Dark Universe will have colors, once they unwrap those coaster cars and bring in the Romani wagons.

 

[Skipper Justin]

Why did they put the coaster so close to everything? I guess for kinetic energy?

I never want to see this photo again.

I am in awe.

 

[Suchomimus]

What is this supposed to be? I only see a "Not Found" error.

 

[Imperius]

Good god it’s beautiful

Epic's latest flat was installed and ready for testing. Theming has been done but people are in disagreement whether the color is yellow or gold.

Looking forward to @Alicia's analysis of these new photos. I assume the newly graded area is for the new Mexitalia food court? I'm guessing this late start was because it was on/off/on?





Cool to see they may be doing some on site video for the announcement and/or other projects to promote the park!

So, as far as I can tell the food court replacement plan is technically going to be a phase 2 project, which I suspect will open up to a year after the park opens. I finally found a site work permit from a few weeks ago, so we know it’s Project 914 / Building 1292, so we can keep an eye on it. But everything I’ve heard is telling me it won’t be ready at park open so I’m not expecting lightning fast work on it the way they fast tracked Meteor Astropub.

This is going to be such a visually stunning land. Is that real wood?....and if it is....how will it age in the Florida weather? Also....how does everyone feel about the gray coaster track? I'm not really criticizing it...but it is a curious color. Maybe done to blend in rather than stick out? The only other color that I could think of is some shade of brown......but then it becomes really noticeable over the water.

As a DCA boy, I actually like when there's constant construction (for new things and not unfinished ones!)

 

[GAcoaster]

Wow, the details are really coming into focus:



Looks like all the coasters have been cycling except for Starfall at this point:



I'm trying to reserve judgement on the cliff/spire atop the Meade Hall:
