Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

[Scott W.]

You'll have to ask @Scott W. Nicely to see the vomit comet version spinning version

In my head, I have an idea of how this will go story wise. Adding in a scene here and there might only add a few seconds but this could be a 90sec experience from leaving the station to entering again.

As for the spinning aspect and what to look at, Cobra's Curse has the seats facing the same way but I'm still fairly set that this will be similar to an extreme spinner train, I think they're also the only ones that allow for launches. My hunch on this is purely based on what is needed for capacity, it's much faster loading and unloading and the seats look far more comfortable.

I do think this will be a heavily modified train compared to what else is out there.

I assume that structure behind the Monsters castle is (extended?) queue of some sort?

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Ahhhhh first monsters theming

 

[mainejeff]

That coaster structure certainly looks big enough for an animatronic.....or 2.

Exterior queue, similar in style to greenhouse for Forbidden Journey.

I was thinking maintenance.

I wonder how soon we get to see them test the fire effects in the Berk statues

Maintenance is top-right. This is covered queue.

I wonder what they'll theme that exterior greenhouse equivalent as.

A spooky garden with a couple crumbling statues and fountains, bordered by hedges, could be cool.

That sounds an awful lot like the exterior queue to The Tower of Terror.

Then it would be in excellent company.

 

[Loki]

I was thinking graveyard. A few opened graves marking where bodies have been taken for science. Take ET's queue and mix it with Haunted Mansion.

How about a massive gothic conservatory?

That isn't the old Tiffany estate in New York?

When you say exterior queue, will it be outside open to the elements?

Starfall Racers looks massive! I continue to be in awe of how fast construction is progressing on this park.

Funny I was just about some of these updates. I can’t wait to see more of theming elements taking shape throughout the park.

I know there's still staffing and everything, but there's still part of me that wonders if this could open next year...

Sounds like probably covered but open-air.
