Universal Epic Universe News Mega Update - DUAL COASTER TESTING, NEW CONSTRUCTION & POSSIBLE LAWSUIT 

Yes

I’ve got my eyes on the Epic spirit jersey, and the Isle of Berk pennant

I would really love to get something themed to Celestial Park, like that model of the Kronos tower that was given to some people recently. Failing that,I would probably just get an Epic Universe mug. I’ve already got plenty of Nintendo & Harry Potter stuff.

Definitely Nintendo and Harry Potter merchandise.

The EU lanyard looks nice. I have to the EU shirt from the passholder lounge.

I'll second that! Top notch production on all of these updates. I really, REALLY appreciate all the work you pour into these. Please keep 'em comin'!

I agree with that thank you for all the hard work you do ❤

Totally agree.

I'm sure they get ad revenue from views..

@@TheCobruhAlienat0r True for all Content Creators when they become part of the Program unless of course they get demonetized

Not at the point in the video yet. But Screamscape is thinking this is a way for Starfall to say that "hey we're protecting our brand" because supposedly if you're not keeping up with your trademarks/copyrights you could lose it.

Protect what's yours or someone else will take it...that goes for everything in life

It will be interesting as it does not appear that Starfall has prevented or challenged the use in dozens of books, some of which would have almost identical audiences. Why the now for potential use if they had not pursued actual use over the past decade?

Personally I like the name Stardust Racers better anyway

It's pretty weird how they would sue them. It's not even a related product

Actually, I wouldn't be too mindboggled. This is what sub contractors and sub sub contractors are for. The whole project was likely "reverse-planned" with all organizational phases planned out in an isolated manner and well in advance, based on blueprints and scope projections. Such as the different lands. Those separate construction teams have little to do with one another and can focus on their own area, landscaping and rides.

People doing their jobs blows your mind?

@travisvanalst4698 How to tell me that you've never had to manage a large project without coming out and saying it. It's a lot more difficult than your job where you only have to worry about not mixing up the chicken and bean burritos.

​@umrmech84 How to tell me that you have no capacity for conceptual thought without coming out and saying it. Must be embarrassing that the person who you assume has a low-respect job (all jobs are respectable by the way, asshole) has a greater ability to understand the scope of work involved in this project than you do.

Lmao, roasted. Their work is definitely very impressive

Definitely will have to include more comparisons now that we’re getting more official concept art!

I feel the same way too

That is a good backup name if they need one.

Stardust sounds like Disney haha

@@CoasterkinggStardust Crusaders from JoJo would beg to differ.

@@CoasterkinggI’m a wrestling fan so I know what Stardust truly means.

Starlight Foundation exists.. so I don't think so

Road work is a giant scam that’s why it always takes forever

​@@OrlandoParksRover In my country I love that all the security beacons, street signs (esp. speed limits), and whatnot are placed by one squad, weeks (or months) later another squad or more arrive for construction, and when all of them are done and gone it takes another few weeks (or months) before a squad arrives to retreive the beacons and signs.

That's the part that amazes/astounds me. When you compare what Disney has accomplished vs. what Universal has accomplished in the same time frame (and both had to deal with covid closures/delays), it's not even close. Universal has almost completely built a third gate and the domestic Disney parks have done very little by comparison. (I know Disney has been doing big things with their overseas parks).

So Glad Universal is now honoring not one huge but kinetic fountains all over which Disney let go from their Epcot concept art and removing the one fountain they already had.

Given the amount of visual information we have on this park the time lapsed will be amazing.

In helena they used star fall with a space in the middle

MY MAN!

How about Starbright Racers?

@@LChatmanFL no offense, but that sounds even worse 😅

@@LChatmanFL Maybe Starlight Racers?

Or Starspeed Racers Starlight Racers, Starduel Racers (nod to dueling dragons).

@@goobert5485 agreed, lol. That's why I added a few more. Kinda like Starduel Racers...

OMG ME TOO!!

Never heard of the company. I mean, I could see if they were like a mini family fun center, they may have a case, but if I start up a shoe company and call ONE of my shoe designs Amazon, Amazon, the mega corporation, shouldn’t be able to successfully sue me and win, as I don’t have a website with Amazon in the name. And Amazon as a name is literally a place in South America, so it’s not something completely unique like Coca Cola or Pepsi, which actually are registered trademarks. “Starfall” is like “waterfall” in that you really can’t copyright a word people already use. It’s like when Coca Cola tried to copyright the word “coke,” but couldn’t because by the time they tried, most of the south use that as a general term for soda. 7up is a type of “coke.”

Same

Don't expect Epic to be open by then and if it is, it will be insanely crowded in its first month with a lot of breakdowns. Better to wait for the deals that will come in month three when Universal expects steep attendance declines and is already prepping deals because surveys indicate there is far less interest in the park than they hoped.

@@FlyRick78 Bullshit

They are planning on Pokémon (replacing Springfield) and Zelda (replacing lost continent)

While mentioned in the film, I don’t believe Disney holds a trademark for the term. And Universal only applied for Stardust Racers in the category of roller coaster, so only word marks within roller coaster category could be affected.

One commentator already mentioned the Starfall Online video game. The game has a Wikipedia entry that states it was released in 2014. A judge may ask if SEF filed a cease-and-desist order against Starfall Online to stop the use of the name. They may have. If not, Universal could have a good argument against SEF. I think a possible argument in favor of SEF would be the color scheme of Starfall Racers tracks are similar to the pastel colors used on SEF's website and literature. I don't think the pastel colored tracks match the rest of the solid bright colors of the rest of the park's lands and attractions. I think it would be amazing to paint both tracks black so at night it could give the illusion of flying through space, sort of like Space Mountain. But I'm no Steven Spielberg and am sure Universal knows what it's doing. I'm just a former Disney Adult who is all in as a new Universal Adult. I'm excited to see what they have planned for EU Phase Two. I predict they will add three new lands for Phase Two to reflect our solar system made up of eight planets and add those three land's medallions to the Kronos Tower.

One problem if they do not fight now is that Univ Studios could ask them to stop because they want to sell merch and branded logo.
