Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

[Grabnar]

Universal can't build a Nickelodeon land, they would need a shopping mall first

Disney Springs here we come

Belloq and I, hand in hand, singing Give Peace a Chance in front of the Toon Lagoon theater waiting for Pets to come. (seriously retheme Comic Strip Cafe to New York!)

This would be a nice transition between Marvel and TL tbh

But where would the cheerleaders go? FFL?

You're looking at themes and not actual content. Six Flags features rides themed to childrens characters (DC Comics) and slaps them on giant thrill machines.

I also question the idea that in 1999 kids were chomping at the bit for Dudley Do Right and Popeye.

Speak for yourself. I loved Popeye and Rocky & Bullwinkle at 9 years old.

...I was a bit of an eccentric child though. :look:

Same. But I also grew up on The Waltons, The Statler Brothers, and Lawrence Welk.

There’s so much talk about Monsters and Potter, I really feel once we start truly seeing how Berk is going to look for HTTYD, that land at the last minute is suddenly going to be most hyped on here. I think the visuals may be the best, outside of the hub, in the entire park. I’m also expecting Dragon AAs throughout the park like SNW has a ton of AAs in the land.

It's easy to see the dedication UC is putting into Berk....its also the biggest land of the 4 IP based lands.

You can never have too many DRAGONS. :thumbsup:

I was walking through USF with my sis and her bf and they commented how weird it was there was no HTTYD stuff. I told them it's getting a huge new land in EU. They were excited. It's going to be huge.

Or a mini land like Skull Island.

The irony is that management-wise Kong is part of TL.

I think it will be incredibly popular.

I have some issues with it (I think the Skyfly is a really odd choice and I still think dedicating so much space to HTTYD alone is a bit iffy) but I think it's going to be a good land.

I think it will need a small dark ride to help with capacity. Or another popular flat to spread the crowds out amongst the attractions.

I'm not expecting this, but I hope you're correct.

Because it still does seem slightly odd to me that the primary presence of the dragons "in the flesh," so to speak, is going to mostly be in the stage show (as far as we can tell at this point; there's apparently the possibility of some very brief show scenes on the coaster).

 

[Loki]

The merchandising for Epic will be insane. You got Harry Potter stuff (again, but I imagine they might throw in some FB creature plushies), Mario and DK stuff, Monsters, and HTTYD.

The HTTYD merch will be interesting considering we have no equivalent to compare it with so far (unless the asian stage show is selling some).

Correct me if wrong but I don't think Berk normally has dragons just hanging around so I imagine the movement of the land will come from the attractions themselves.

Second movie Berk. Dragon houses were built above all the houses, like bird houses. The plans call for dragons sticking out at multiple spots around the village.

Ahhhh ok thanks!

Ahhhh ok thanks!

I still think you’re right that most of the energy will come from the outdoor attractions though. Like DLR’s Tomorrowland, there’s a lot of transportation systems here lol

But is there a moving walkway?

 

[belloq87]

Just to clarify, I wasn't talking about dragons being in the land to add kinetic energy. I meant more that it seems to me the primary appeal of a HTTYD land would be to get up close -- "close" by theme park standards -- with lots of dragons (or fly on/with them, but we know Universal opted to not go with a flying simulator).

Hopefully we get some of that.
