Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

Major milestone alert:

And here is what it looked like (what I assuming to be) earlier this morning:

I wonder if they are going to be moving into this new building or is it just a satellite office?

Ok, here in my construction prediction.

With NOAA issuing the most extreme Hurricane Forcast ever. I would not expect to see any of the "tent" structures to see fabric until at least Jan.

Having watched the video of IOA from October 1998 (about 6+ months out from the park opening for previews), it was interesting to see how so many things looked finished while others look like they were a long way off. It sort of feels like Epic is in a similar place right now where there is so much detail work being installed but there are still buildings taking shape at the same time. Really fascinating to watch it all come together!

The key is what's happening 'inside' of those attraction buildings, that we have no real access to. So it's really all just guesses at this point in time.

That was actually what I was thinking-- it's fascinating to see in the video some of the interiors looked finished inside buildings while the exteriors were still works in progress. I HOPE that it's a similar situation here where interior teams/ride teams have been working inside regardless of weather and time of day even if the people working on exteriors are still applying finishes. I think in the 25 years between parks things have progressed a lot in construction planning and fabrication, and since UC just built a park they're getting better and better at the planning and execution.

I'm really surprised that none of these youtubers have tried to sneak a drone inside one of the ride queues after hours

Kind of a neat look at the behind-the-scenes infrastructure work happening in advance of Epic Universe.

Blue Dragon Pan-Asian Restaurant looks impressive so far - my prediction for the "place to see and be seen" at Epic
