Hey guys sorry for being late! I've been busy spending time with my family and friends over this holidays.
I wanted to update very good news to you guys. I've been in Universal Florida for over 4 days and during that time, I had lots of chance to talk and discuss with creatives and passionate staff members. But one thing I can tell very confidently now is that Creature from the black lagoon expansion has been greenlighted and it will be their next big project at Epic once they are done with Harry Potter expansion
As an architecture student intending to apply for a creative internship next summer with a pretty proficient understanding of building structures and engineering, I was able to engage in an in-depth rather technical and advisement conversation. During this exchange, one of them shared this information with me. Also I asked for permission to share information and they were okay with this since they already started to giving hints
They explained their strategy for marketing new experiences and highlighted how it differentiates them from competitors.
Universal enjoy rather gives hint to the general audience while development is in progress, while the opponent typically announces the project first and shares updates.
Additionally, several cast members (more than 3) and staff members mentioned that they have not heard of any plans for a Potter expansion, while they are all very aware that the Dark Universe expansion is coming very soon and they seemed confident. When I asked about their sources, they were reluctant to share further details, likely due to internal confidentiality. And some of them told me about this project before I even mentioned about this.
That's all I have for now and time will tell. I'd be happy to answer questions.
