Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

[GAcoaster]

I love when Bio can do a comparison shot like this. What a HUGE difference a year makes...

That reveal coming out of the Portal.

Well we will be getting a good idea of what the water features will look like when full of water. The park and mostof Central Florida has been getting rained on for the last three days. Bio is going to get a bunch of water and mud photos this weekend.

Yes, I follow Touring Plans and they've had rain listed for every day this past week. Where's that SUNSHINE that Florida Tourist agencies always boasts of, and I rarely see on my vacations to the Sunshine state? Kind of the biggest propaganda stunt of all time.

Bio is giving us ground shots today:

Still more today:






Wouldn't be surprised to see an aerial update coming in since he seems to be doing them weekly now...

WESH went up in their chopper today for new video:

Epic progress: A look at 9 months of construction on Universal's new theme park

Epic Universe is set to open in 2025. It's the first major theme park to come to Orlando since Universal's Islands of Adventure in 1999

Apparently they even snagged an interview with @Alicia !

Here is the WESH 2 interview with Stella and helicopter coverage of the park

Got some glimpses of this property while I was down this past weekend and my goodness....the sheer scale of this park. I'm so used to looking at it from the top down. Completely different looking at it from the ground perspective.

 

[Nico]

We have concrete. I am very excited.

 

[Loki]

So glad they decided to go with a motif for this park and are excitedly sticking to it.

 

[NotPennysBoat]

Nice!

 

[Disneyhead]

Oh look, a forest.

 

[Magic-Man]

Oh look, a forest.

Holy crap that was fast

 

[Mad Dog]

Plants and trees grow fast in Florida's climate. LOL... ....That 30" of rain the other week was a tree's best friend.....
Florida is one gigantic Chia pet.

 

[GAcoaster]

Am I the only one who's shocked at how fast the restaurant in front of the hotel and the one in front of Potter went from nothing to full fledged buildings?

 

[Magic-Man]

So uhh, where's the queue for the Monsters coaster? It doesn't look like there's much room in front of the station.

 

[Ahmanet]

We think the Werewolf coaster will have an indoor AA like Hagrid's does?

Was skeptical of this being in Monsters land, but looks like the right call by Universal.

The queue will be among the trees and under the tents that are just frames right now. Plenty of room in there for queue..

These trees are fun--

Wonder if they have been doing some test runs while we not looking!
