Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

Still not a huge fan of the outside of these, but the insides look great

I wasn't wild about the look initially, but the more of it becomes reality the more it grows on me. Each time I pass by in different light it is really eye catching. Can't wait to see it with what I assume will be sparkling/twinkling lights at night.

As I drove by today on Destination Pkwy I could see rows of new palm trees in place either along or in the median of Epic Blvd:

I wish that there was a bit more theming detail so that the two resorts could be more distinguishable from each other.

Just to streamline the discussion - hotel talk is taking place here.

Universal's Epic Universe Hotel Speculation

The rooms look blah. With the colourful tiles on the building, I was hoping for more inside.

Look at that steelwork on the roof line. Wonder if we’re getting some Kong level flats.

I don't know why it took me so long to realize that the portals will be 3-D versions of the compass ring around the logo with the big gold ball at the top and everything...

When I saw that one being built I was thinking it looked almost like coaster track running around the outside, but that's the degree markings on the compass.


It's so obvious I feel dumb for not connecting it sooner.

What’s seen in this photo is merely a plate cover for the opening on the front of the portal. It’s a decorative element attached to each entrance. The portal structure itself is wildly themed to each property. This is the part that holds the magic for traveling across the universe.

Edit: I secretly gave it away in a transitional fade in a video last year even.

That was fast:


So many new details:


Are those boats?

Appears all track protection has been removed. . .

There's a piece on the brake run, and all the pieces over the launch look like they were pulled aside for work on the launch fins.

I think the "Permit Princess" aka @Alicia , found something.

I find it strange that it looks like it blocks the view of the portal for Wizarding World. It may just be the angle of the picture, but I thought all the portals would be visible from most parts of the hub area.

I think the rumored wand statue will surely be able to be seen from the center of the hub. I could be wrong but I doubt this restaurant will be immensely tall.

This will be the only Carousel I ever ride.

I assume Meteor Astropub, aka Meatier Gastropub means 72 different IPAs and kicked up bar food.

They should have just called it the Inside Universal Lounge.

They should’ve used Alicia’s name for this instead of the hotel.
