Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

[Mad Dog]

I’ll just say the Mack designed boat system for Nightflight for Dollywood debuted yesterday. Here’s how it held up:

1. Was running with only 6 out of 11 vehicles
2. Back row was sectioned off, so only 8 out of 10 seats were being used.
3. It ran for only three hours.
4. By the end of the three hours only TWO boats were working.

I think Universal might have predicted these issues and decided to go a different direction.

Yeah. When I saw the video on the ride the Dollywood attraction is based on, the immediate thought that went through my mind was that it looked like something that so many things could go wrong with it. Don't need any more of those type of rides at Epic. Dependable and high capacity should be the primary ingredients.

If the rumors/speculation is that Potter is a pretty basic ride system, they really need to Transformers that thing and have it spring 2028. Monsters then take a full 2 years and open around fall. It’ll make HHN numbers go crazy at least for that year, when they make their most money anyways.

Where are these rumours that it's a basic ride system coming from?
