Epic Universe Expansion Speculation

[HHN Maddux]

I think a perfect expansion would be a Peoplemover-style attraction for Celestial Park, with covered roofs so that like Peoplemover, it can stay open during storms and still be protected from rain and the heat.

Not only that, but it would:

• Fit in perfectly with Celestial.
• Be a good people eater.
• Provide an attraction for the entire family with no height requirement (which the park really needs).
• Provide a 4th attraction that can stay open during storms (which the park also really needs).
• Some great kinetic energy in Celestial.
• The cherry on top, have Captain Cacao as the narrator!

And it's now "official"-- the multi-purpose building is going to start construction across from Atlantic!

Phase 2 started when they mapped out where the BoH Starbucks is going

It's for the theater right?

More like a soundstage/event space most likely unless plans have changed.

No images posted yet, but I'm just happy we'll get something proper to cover the backside of SNW.

It looks like it'll go up relatively quickly, so it's like a simple warehouse structure with a proper facade facing the park as the only have to theme one side. They can probably build a temporary theater like Grinchmas later on if they need to.

I hope they eventually build something like a celestinian theater just like a main theater in Beijing park(showing untrainable). To put seasonal shows from IPs they got like wicked, universal monsters, etc… it would put diverseness into celestial parks offering.

The first Mack Rides Rocking Boat attraction has opened. With UC's budget, this ride systen has tons of potential for a Creature ride.

I dont know man…to me, this screams Mamma Mia.

I'm torn. This looks cool as hell (even if this particular application is pretty underwhelming), I can totally see the Creature/B-movie monster theming, and it would give the park another water ride. At the same time... it's pretty clear Epic needs indoor attractions.

Can't this all be happening inside a show building for Epic / CftBL? I think a voyage deep into the Amazon in an always-night indoor jungle/lagoon with this ride system would be pretty great. If the boats had a Jungle Cruise-like canopy overhead you could go through a tropical storm with rain, plus have wind blowing all the foliage around.

Plus you could have a moment where there is lightning flashing and you see the silhouette of the Creature who has climbed on top of your boat! (It would be a figure suspended from above, essentially from a dry-cleaning track synched with the ride vehicle).

Theoretically, that sounds really cool and would solve my main concern, but it's also more expensive in the short- and long-term than building a mostly outdoor boat ride.

I think that ride system has HUGE potential with the right budget (in Epic or USF... or at Disney, for that matter).

I also think putting it indoors would be worth the spend.

 

[Jake S]

Really, really cool ride system. Would love to see Universal take a stab at it, especially if they committed to put it indoors.

Now that is a boat not boat ride. Give this to Zelda.

I heard Zelda will have a similar system to Spiderman. There was new patents that involves multi motion dark ride campany in universal south campus(epic universe site) few weeks ago.

So the scoop ride system?

Out of curiosity where did you see/ hear this?
