The county says it should be ready by the end of this year, Jan 2025 at latest.Probably the wrong thread for this, but is there a currently set deadline for the Kirkman Extension? I'm wondering if it'll open before the park.
Huh, I wonder if Epic Blvd will also open alongside it? Or if they'll hold off until opening day.The county says it should be ready by the end of this year, Jan 2025 at latest.
Part of Epic Blvd will have to be open before the park because that is the only access to the two offsite hotels.Huh, I wonder if Epic Blvd will also open alongside it? Or if they'll hold off until opening day.
They are having a bit of fun lol
Teasing the announcement others have pegged to this month.I wonder what the point of this tweet is lol
The timing is just weird though. It's a Sunday so nothing was going to be announced today, and we don't have an official announcement period.Teasing the announcement others have pegged to this month.
It's as large as IOA, the difference is that the lagoon is replaced by a walkable hub at Epic. Epic is also a "tall" park with large lands that are built up like SNW or the hotel at the far end of the park throwing your perspective off.When I see those drone shots of the entire park, it just doesn’t seem that Epic Universe is all that big. It is probably the angles and perspectives, but does someone have say a Magic Kingdom, Universal Studios Florida or Islands of Adventure overlay so that we can get a real sense of how big it is? Thanks!!
Minor nitpick, I wouldn't count the retention pond/firework launch pad in the back as part of Epic simply because it won't be accessible by guests and doesn't hold any expansion pads. Technically it is a part of the park, but it's like counting the new (now somewhat abandoned) launch pad WDW built across World Drive at DHS.I'm just guessing on Epic but just glancing at Google Maps it's roughly the size of IOA.

If I was to guess, I think it will actually be very slightly smaller when compared on a map, but the difference (and how Epic will make up for any less acreage they have) is utilizing a walkable hub with things to do in between lands instead of a body of water, as @UniversalRBLX said.I just circled everything on the map, I don't know where the backstage areas are from that photo. I think it's safe to say Epic and IOA are roughly the same size for guests.
