Magic Kingdom:"You are the Knockoff!" Epic Universe:"No I am the Upgrade!" 👊 🎤

@christopherdoughty4243 3 месяца назад

😂 They’ve always gone back and forth copying each other. Universal was so ticked when Disney opened MGM Studios (“Hollywood Studios”) in Orlando. Disney has never been as successful as executing a true studio-style park, though (their studio park in Paris is the worst Disney park by a mile). Universal’s hindrance was always their over-reliance on screen-based experiences and lack of remarkable IP. But now there seems to be a bit of a reversal, with Disney incorporating more screens and fewer animatronics, and Universal using more practical effects instead of screens. Now that Harry Potter, Nintendo, and Dreamworks are part of their stable of IP (in addition to Universal Monsters, Jurassic Park, etc.), combined with the larger scale and higher caliber of their latest offerings, they are poised to topple the Magic Kingdom.

What Disney doesn't realize is that up until Epic Universe, most people went to BOTH parks on their trip to Orlando. Main trip is the Disney and just couple days at Universal. But those same people will now be faced with THE question. Now that Universal is full week theme park, can we afford both parks anymore? If not, which park should we go to? If enough people choose Universal, and they will at least in the first couple years because of brand new Epic Universe experience, they will start to see a meaningful drop in their theme park attendance.

It's a bad spot to be when you have more hotels and parks but less people who want to go to those hotels and parks. In 2025, Disney will be in that bad spot as Epic Universe becomes the most sought-after park, tipping more people to desire to go to universal than Disney. The amount of physical property will still limit universal from having more people in attendance overall, but that's why they are rapidly expanding in Orlando, Hollywood, Texas, and possibly the UK.

Hey! Really interesting commentary. A few thoughts from a UK-based theme park fan... It's a massive oversight to not mention the expansion to the Studios park in Paris. They're literally doubling the size of that park and bringing in three new lands, including Frozen. I think that's going to drag a lot of traffic over from the UK when it opens. On the other hand, Paris can be expensive for a lot of UK visitors. At certain times of the year, it's only a few hundred £ cheaper to go to Paris than Orlando, which is insane when Paris is a 50 minute flight away and Orlando is 9 hours. If the Universal UK park drives prices down at Paris as they fight for the same guests - AWESOME. The last thing to mention about Universal UK is that if they're clever, they'll avoid the seasonal opening schedule of other UK theme parks and figure out a way to bring as much inside/under cover as possible. British people will absolutely go to a theme park in the winter - the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland and the popularity of DLRP at Christmas proves that. Universal UK needs to be a year-round park for sure.

@TheNinjaDC 3 месяца назад

The problem Universal faced is the Disney resorts are more developed (more parks & hotels) and attract more visitors resort to resort. So, Universal is countering this in two ways. One, by expanding existing resorts to better compete (Epic Universe for Orlando). Two, by expanding with more dispersed parks/experiences. Instead investing in a "2nd Orlando" mega resort, they are investing in several small & medium sized projects. Look what their Europe strategy seems to be. Instead of opening a Disneyland Paris seized resort (two parks, with room for 3). They are building a Beijing sized resort near London, while likely acquiring PortAdventura. Individually, both are smaller than Disneyland Paris, but combined give Universal a bigger theme park presence in Europe than Disney. This can also be seen in the US with the mini Texas park & HHN experience in Vegas. The one area of business Universal doesn't have an answer for is cruises. Disney is a small presence in that market, but has high profit margins. Perhaps Universal can partner with a cruise line chain like Royal Caribbean, or have very large resort hotels in the cruise ship region.

I think Disney and Universal are like the rabbit and the hare. Disney was always ahead of Universal and was playing catch up to the ever so lustrous disney corp. But now that time has past Universal is on their doorstep. They haven't quite gotten there yet but they're neck and neck right now. All universal needs is that last push to stand out on top. Disney is still receiving major attendance at their theme parks so my guess is they don't really have to do much anyway. However the waiting game is finally over. Can't wait to see what happens next

@brooksfire9580 3 месяца назад

Most people STILL do not know that Universal has a theme park in Orlando. Seriously! In December, I was standing in line for Disney's Hollywood Studios opening, and a wife and kids were excited to see Harry Potter, and wondered where it was inside of Hollywood Studios - they couldn't find it on the paper map. Another family let them know the bad news. If Universal is to compete, people need to know they exist, and they NEED to mention Disney as a competitor, as so many people think there is only 1 theme park in Orlando - Disney. And Universal is part of it.

@@ritzkola2302 I know the difference, and have been to both Universal and Disney (both in California and Florida) ... and it doesn't take more than an hour of research to find it out.

The real killer is that Universal Studios Hollywood has the new Mario land, but Disney calls one of their parks in Orlando - Hollywood Studios.

@brooksfire9580 3 месяца назад

Oh, if you go to somewhere like AAA to book a vacation, there is a huge Disney section (with flags, banners, posters, mickey ears, videos playing on TVs, etc) where there are like 2-3 agents who focus 100% on Disney. There is nothing for Universal like this. Yeah, they can book a Universal vacation, but agents don't steer people towards it. And the word 'Universal' is so generic, I think that is part of the problem.

@@brooksfire9580 Perhaps that’s where the confusion stems for a lot of it. People calling travel agents and not knowing what to ask. For us we just get in the car and drive there. No travel agent.

One rumor for universal studios great Britain is that the rides and IPs will be different and probably have some uk ips like james bond ect so it doesn't step on the us parks toes and a unique park would probably attract curious Americans.

I believe the UK park would be a year round resort with quite a few indoor attractions. Maybe the outdoor attractions will only close in severe weather. The climate can be fairly mild in the winter, it would have a similar climate to Disneyland Paris and Universal Beijing. I just saw a video of Tokyo Disney in the snow yesterday, so pretty but we don’t get much snow in the UK. I think they’ve chosen the UK because of the market but I guess they’ll get quite a few European visitors too. The passport situation doesn’t matter, you need one to go to so many places anyway.

I can see Universal taking over Disney especially with how involved Disney has been with politics. It is starting to feel way less magical when I walk into Disney. I honestly get bored within five minutes. I hate the fact that they’re using fake popcorn sents out of random vents to make you want popcorn at Disney and honestly when I walk into Universal I feel like I’m walking into my fantasy world immediately. They are so not involved with politics or anything controversial I always feel so happy at Universal. I am on a trip right now in Orlando going between Universal and Disney and so far I am turning my back on Disney universal is the goat Disney is trying to save themselves from universal by re-doing a ride that was Walt Disney’s work, and I hate the fact that they redoing it to some thing that is not gonna make it any better and universal is making a whole new theme park. It looks quite amazing and I’m very excited for Universal Newpark. Universal is always improving well Disney seems to have been losing their “magical touch” and even Disney’s employees have been bashing Disney behind Disney’s back that kind of tells you something right there😅

@bluefirepirate1846 2 месяца назад

I think Disney at this point… how much I hate to say it. Is for kids. And Disney is hoping for people nostalgia to drive them back. And I think Disney takes longer to make rides because they care about every little detail. But now you can argue against that, because Disney has been switching to screens… But who knows what will happen, time will tell.

@superpenguin645 3 месяца назад

They should make a Pixar Theme Park in Texas to compete with the Universal Kids park. A Deadpool/X-men theme park in Las Vegas to compete with HHN. Finally I think they should build a another Disneyland in Northern Europe that way they can make all the dough in that Theme park area. Also to take away from Universal London.

Even if the parks are spun off and can keep everything they bring in for park-related expenses and growth, the parks would never be able to recover as quality might continue to tumble even if Disney Parks & Experiences was its own thing like Mercedes-Benz and private like Hershend as Apple or whomever might end up putting all the parks into licensing deals-not just Tokyo and that might throttle expansion more because no one cares about introducing something original to the parks anymore. Its only that The Country Bears and Figment are so tied to the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT being basically opening day attractions (okay, Figment wasn't ready to open with the park, but Figment and Dreamfinder were still there basically day 1) that they are simply accepted into the Disney/Disney Parks Zeitgeist that Western River Expedition just wouldn't have. Now if Lone Ranger actually worked out, maybe things would be different there and making Tiana for Disneyland and Lone Ranger-based rehash of Western River for the MK version would work-but as Jack of DSNY newscast brought up that even though Princess and the Frog is set in the 1920's between WWI and the Great Depression, Louisiana was acquired in 1803, before mining in the west of what would've been Spanish/Mexican territory at the time of the purchase. What comes next after Mexican Cession in 1848: Gadeson Purchase (the southern part of Arizona/bit of New Mexico) after the Civil War (Antebellum kind of woke and that was basically what Splash Mountain represented) and going back to that wouldn't make sense. After that, Alaska and Hawaii. Universal owns Balto, so that doesn't work, we could do Moana for a Hawaii and they can do this credibly because of Aulani. They could go back to 1920's Chicago using research for the original DLP Main Street Plans and Dick Tracy Crime Stopper ideas

I am working a ridiculous amount of hours each week. When I go to a theme park I want to leave the mobile in the car and have a good time feeling like a kid again... seeing characters I love and experiencing cool stuff that makes me feel like in the movies. Universal just worked last year. Got into the park and had fun with all those cool rides using the single rider line after the first time in the standard line (oh boy... there are cool things to see in the lines), got my picture with Homer and Bart, bought a wand at Olivanders casting spells in Diagon Alley... I was just a little boy again for 2 days. When I worked myself into what Genie+ and all this stuff is, that I should take special hotels to enter Disneyland earlier to be able to ride the most interesting stuff... sorry, I lost Interest at that point. I don´t want to work with a mobile device, when I am on vaccation. And after hearing the dissapointed reports of my relatives that they didn´t even saw Mickey and Donald, I am just glad I did not waste my time and money. I also could not care less about everything Star Wars related Disney put out besides Mandalorian.

You're right about the placement. For most of the country it is quite easy to get to. Avoids the heavy traffic of both cities while being central and not too far away that you can't drive there and back in a day. I'm hoping for a greatest hits pack of rides or a Harry Potter part. It will need to be good as like you mentioned it will be competing with Alton Towers and that is what any ride that is put in will be judged on. Just got back from a week at Disneyworld and the parks need investment. Every land needs updating. Kingdom's Tomorrow Land needs something as it's a dead space. Tron and space mountain are fine but you have the people mover, buzz and the carousel of progress and that is it. One whole building is more or less not used and just has a dead ride hidden in it. Animal kingdoms Dino land is dead space and although they have said they are going to do something they actually need to do something. Epcot needs to be finished and some of those dead halls reworked into something. Hollywood studios just has wierd dead bits dotted round the park and the star wars launch bay is in a really strange situation where part is used and the rest is dead.

I'm hoping they actually happen and don't get cut to pay Epic's bills.

Im sorry if this is a controversial opinion to share, but im so over this "highly details and expensive themed land to one IP" thats been prevalent in Theme Parks the last few years. This may just be me, but i think the best themed land Disney has done in the last 10 years is Pixar Pier. A gorgeous retheme of an already great area that showcases plenty of Pixar franchise and not just one like Toy Story or Incredibles. I hope whatever Disney does next is more similar to this as opposed to Pandora or Galaxies Edge.
