It really is the greatest land ever. So many fresh ideas and the most common ones are taken to the next level. I just know this will be my favorite of all the portals and I'm not even a fan of horror.
Wow! It looks and sounds amazing! It definitely looks and sounds like it’s going to be one of the most engaging parks of all times! Great descriptions and illustrations!
I am surprised how many people are bought into the idea that, as a business model, Epic Universe is a sure thing. Comcast is facing some enormous challenges related to the opening and operation of the new park. Finding a few thousand qualified/quality workers to staff the park. Traffic congestion on I-4 and International Drive. Hot weather. Crowd control. Technical problems with rides. All of these considerations can have an impact on the value of a park experience. Especially when it is likely a single day ticket will likely cost more than $150 (plus parking). Cool videos are not evidence of success in themed entertainment. I have a good friend who owns a small restaurant in Orlando. She points out that just because every table is filled doesn't mean the restaurant is making a profit. Good luck Comcast.
I didn’t have any expectations about Dark Universe because they really did keep things super close to their chest. But I think the reason why this is quickly becoming the most anticipated land for me (neck and neck with Super Nintendo World) is because this IP has been dormant for so long that it and Nintendo feel fresh. Now I bet Universal is relieved The Mummy 2013 failed 😂.
Dont know why they changed the look of the monsters to reach a new audience. Your either a Classic monsters fan (which is a large established fan base all the way down to very little kids) or your not.( if it aint broke, dont fix it). All of the attractions in this land should be slow dark rides like Haunted Mansion or Pirates. The lands enviorment though is just like it should be.
0:18 "... delivering unique experiences that you have never seen before." Well ... I mean, yeah ... No one has seen them because the park isn't open yet. Sure hope they get a handle on crowd control, shaded areas (weather/heat) and the technical problems typically associated with new attractions.
I think they’re implying that the type of experiences will not be like anything that has been done at a theme park before…hence why nobody has seen them before
I suspect Dark Universe will go down as one of the worst things every created. Notice how it was all CGI - this is because UC did not consult operations when planning. Everything is going to be broken down most of the time. The kicker is Universal Creative has not come up with B modes. This is going to be a massive mess for them as those animatronics apparently do not work at the moment and may not work at launch.
