Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

[Nick]

You'd be surprised how many normies still don't know about SNW and Epic

Repetition is key

Which is why I think a preview center next year or so is something that should 100% be somewhere on property whether in USF or CityWalk.

When people are already at your resort, that’s the best time to try to sell them on another vacation to come see the brand new park.

The only issue I foresee a la IOA’s opening is that at the current resort, you can’t see Epic Universe being built. Shouldn’t be difficult for people to figure out it’s just somewhere else, but with how easily accessible Universal is right now this will have to be included in initial marketing somehow.

I don’t know for sure why they scraped all their trackless rides at the same time, but I’ve always wondered if it had something to do with issues with Skull Island. And they may again someday, just don’t see any on the horizon currently.

May I ask which other trackless rides were abandoned?

Pets. . .

Pets. . .

I would love that

I think they're still in the "drip the message" phase

Although a preview center would be great

Pets as mentioned. First version of Villain-Con was being drawn up as trackless too.

In the same space???

Before they decided to save an old Shrek theater for HHN houses and multi-use, plans were drawn up for possible Shrek replacements that would’ve utilized the entire building, yes.

But that was also themed to Villain-con, but more open space and trackless, if I'm not mistaken.

HHN ruins everything

HHN ruins everything

It does swing a very impressive stick

 

[DodgsonHere]

Don’t love this

 

[tielo]

It's a simplified version of what we had, feels a bit of a downgrade?

 

[12th Man]

Why is it no longer possessive?

 

[UniversalRBLX]

Why is it no longer possessive?

i am worried they are trying too hard

getting escape flashbacks

 

[belloq87]

No way they change out the actual park entrance sign on the lighthouse anytime soon though right?

They better not!

The new version looks so cheap and nondescript.

 

[TheCodeMan95]

They're definitely simplifying all the logos for the resort.

But I mean, really, do I care that much? not really lol

Also, just saw we got some concept art for Mine Cart Madness.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Take all discussion of the new logos and UD&E to the new thread.

Soooo who's down for some names?
We got some EU hub ride names, the Monsters land name, Wolfman coaster name, and probably a hub restaurant name?
