    Universal Orlando Resort to Epic Universe Transportation News & Speculation

    Shame there isn't a Fantastic Beasts ride where you're on the back of one. Then the last wrap could be, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Ride Them."

    Walt Disney World Tech News & Discussion- Magic Bands, Genie+, and more

    A major difference between Genie+ and FP+ is people can't book 3 lighting lane entries before arrival. Between requiring people to make their selections as they go, buy into the system before being able to use it, then remember/decide to book a LL in the heat of the moment with a two-hour cool...

    Walt Disney World Tech News & Discussion- Magic Bands, Genie+, and more

    I'm wondering with Disney Premier Access if Rise of the Resistance wasn't conceived as a primarily Premier Access attraction (due to its limited hourly capacity and amount of cast members it requires to function), but management had cold feet about putting a paid system into place at the time...

    Changes To Fastpass+?

    After a bit of digging, here's screenshots of Premier Access bundles from Shanghai Disneyland. Paris was offering two bundles (Family: Rat, Pan, & Buzz; Exciting: Hyperspace Mt, Rock 'n Roller, Tower) alongside single and unlimited FP entry tickets. It wouldn't be shocking to see WDW to do...

    Changes To Fastpass+?

    That's the way I'm reading it. I also took his statements as the free option being the base tier. Speculating the other two tiers offer X amount of passes per day and an unlimited version in a MaxPass vein.

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    A well thought out plan. I do have reservations about how the general public would handle Pokémon Safari with the sheer amount of interactions possible with the buttons and dividers between party members. While not the same, perhaps changing the theming to Snap where guests board 8-12 passenger...

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    Instead of an open hub, Universal could offer discounted admission after 4 pm whether to the GP or blocks of tickets to convention organizers. Eliminates the control and understanding problems of an open hub, while providing a method to encourage people to visit and stay for dinner.

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    The problem I see with VR, in a theme park, is how compelling of an experience it can deliver over the home units. By the time Epic opens, visitors who don't own a headset probably know someone who does and have the opportunity to experience VR when time is less limited. Thus will a sub-five...

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    Midway Mania is probably not the best example since it relies 100% on screens. Because of the screen based nature the games could change for each vehicle depending on how they did at the previous game. Expanding the concept further, a shooter could use projection mapping and hiding or revealing...

    Wonder if Monsters will have a Bloody Mary served with glow-in-the-dark vampire teeth?

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    The difference here is Potter is magical fantasy in a modern setting which immediately makes it accessible to people who've never read a Potter book or seen a Potter film. Even non-fantasy fans have the background knowledge due to the tropes used in the series to have some idea about its...

    Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

    Smash is popular, but I'm having trouble thinking of what they could do with the property in a theme park. Animal Crossing has a chill / friendly vibe which lends itself to a colorful, slow moving attraction. Metroid has a gritty Alienesque horror vibe which gives multiple attraction options...

    Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

    The biggest problem I see with Animal Crossing and Universal is AC is more comfy than thrilling. Could Universal Creative create a full attraction without some level of thrill? Yes. Would they with their preferences though? If something does happen with AC I'm imagining it would be a mini-land...

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    There's a third option, while nuts, would meet the 2024 requirement. That is to build SNW at the EU site and enough infrastructure to support it solo until the rest of the park is constructed. With each piece of EU isolated, SNW could be constructed and people bused in from their current campus...

    Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

    I'll believe EU is cancelled when the palm tree vanishes. When the tree leaves, so does hope.

    Super Nintendo World (Osaka)

    Another part of SWGE's issue is that it requires too much background knowledge to really get into it. Who's the First Order versus New Republic. The Millennium Falcon. What's the deal with Batuu? SNW and HP don't have that problem (from what we know about SNW). Never played a Mario game before...

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    I could imagine some sort of themed M&G dining with the popular cast of Animal Crossing. No idea about the food, but cute characters in a nature inspired space with air conditioning might go over well.

    Monsters could have fictional wolfmen and vampire bats, no?
