Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

[Mad Dog]

I now know I'm older than I thought as I have no clue who any of the hosts are. They do have a lot of enthusiasm!

I believe a couple of them work for Universal Entertainment and the blonde girl has a local marketing business.

I love this.

Excellent "show, don't tell" trailer!

 

[kristenabelle]

Ahh! Re-Ride the Movies hosted by Mike Aiello coming (via Discover Universal - the podcast, right?), all about classic attractions! So excited!

Rick Baker just showed up

Thinking about walking from Aventura to Epic. Could be a fun way to start the morning

Gee it seems that a huge company like Comcast could have had some A or B list talent for this? Or maybe the streaming market doesn't warrant it??? I'm showing 17k so not gigantic for sure.

A-B talent for the morning/night shows. Streaming focused on influencers since that is what appeals to younger people.

Wait, watching the clip from the upcoming parks documentary....they added Darkmoor without getting ranking data and just hoped it worked out? I'm calling a little creative storytelling there but if its true then for expansions we can't go simply based on IP popularity,

For those attending tomorrow if you see a scrawny guy wearing this shirt design don’t be shy to say hi! Lol

BREAKING NEWS: Epic Universe has been renamed to "Epic Adventure".

 

[SpatulaShack]

I can't believe we're finally here. The park is open. And yet Universal still won't post a damn PDF of the park map that isn't the stupid "interactive" map / app design. The "resort map" doesn't include Epic either. Get it together web team! You've had 6 years to prep.

lol just cackled with mark woodbury saying his favorite hogwarts house is hippogriff, forgive me if it was already mentioned but i just started watching and i’m waiting to catch up on the thread

I'll be truly fair and honest. I was excited to check out the grand ceremony stream. But I find this live production being pretty underwhelming and awkward overall.

 

[kristenabelle]

these fireworks are super fun. and that opening music (is it celestial park?) definitely was reminiscent of ET

edit: inject that entire fireworks soundtrack into my veins

So freaking good. That needs to be the nightly show but that will never happen on that scale

 

[simon]

Btw, do you think some of the moving heads and stage lighting they used in tonight's fireworks show would be utilized on future daily night shows? I do hope they will keep those fixtures on top of a hotel.

 

[Evan]

At least the view from the main fountain (front and centre facing Helios) was actually pretty good to see the fireworks.

But this was definitely a show celebrating the opening, and the lands, and not a nightly firework show.

 

[Banjokaz]

So are these fireworks gonna be nightly or just for the media event?

 

[saint.piss]

 

[clsteve]

Pretty darn impressive closing show. It won't always be this way, day to day. But we saw what they can do. The full park lighting choreography is an industry game changer. Anticipation for holiday shows will be off the charts.

 

[HHN Maddux]

Six years since it's been announced.

Questions if it would still see the light of day when a pandemic broke out.

5 years of construction later...

EPIC UNIVERSE IS NOW OPEN!
