Nice to see Steven is involved.
Nice, but necessary? AFAIK all he does is pull a paycheck from this, not actually contribute anything...

It’s funny how Disney destroyed their hubs and now we’re getting this. I haven’t seen the new Epcot one btw.This is an area that one can spend a few hours relaxing, people watching, dining, drinking....and even attractions to visit. This is going to be a 'Sleeper' Hit. . And a great competition to........
Agreed! I’m spreading the rumor her name is Celeste.

The Constellation Carousel is going to be gorgeous! Some of the animals travel a bit higher than a typical Carousel, but there will be stationary seats as well! I always believed that every park should have a carousel they can take pride in.I didn't realize how non-traditional the carousel would be, loving that!
Loving Starfalls at 48", this is a REALLY nice addition to Universals coaster line up.
That restaurant, I need to eat at that restaurant.
Been thinking on this more, and with the quote of "Putting the 'park' back in Theme Park"; it really feels like a honest to god attempt on making a place that anyone can access if Universal so chose. Heavy EPCOT vibes to be sure, from it's scale to it's scope.
From Constellation Carousel's open-ness with how they buck the trend of traditional carousels (and how it seems like they'll be able to make it super accessible for people to get onto each creature), to Starfall's low height restriction of 48 inches. Add in the flora and wealth of foilage; and this is going to be a genuinely dazzling area to walk around in and relax.
I think it also helps that Celestial Park oddly, reminds me of Tivoli Gardens. Almost as if Universal looked back on what made them successful; and applied it for this area at large.That line also seemed, in my opinion, to be a direct shot at the Epcot re-do with the Plaza Gardens. While Plaza Gardens look nice (will see for myself soon), the areas in the Epic hub look beautiful, especially the area with the water features and Luna. With a good soundtrack, it is a place that I could sit and just absorb for a while. I only hope that it turns out somewhat close to the concept art.
In some art, it’s a grass space with a retaining wall. Others have the building from original concept art. Should be interesting to see what happens over the next few months.I keep seeing how people are questioning whether it will really look like that-- IT WILL! Something I think everyone should have learned from the artwork from the past 15 years is that what they show is what is happening down to small details in some cases. Especially this late in the process, that is what will be there.
I was interested to see the MexItalian Food Court shown in the flyover, but no details. I assume this means they're building the shell and finishing it after the park opens...

Makes me admittedly curious how reception could be with the product we see today; with the potential of Open Hub. I'd definitely sit down in the evening and relax while eating a snack infront of the water displays.
It's a carousel like I said.
My family will also be eating on this restaurant too. 2 of my 3 kids love asian food, the 3rd muddles thru and finds something to eat lolI keep getting this feeling they really wanted to name the "Atlantic" restaurant "Atlantis". Even the logo design gives me those vibes..
Also how is nobody talking about this amazing looking restaurant!?!?

Take a culinary journey across Asia at The Blue Dragon Pan-Asian Restaurant in Universal Epic Universe. Step inside a bustling courtyard, where it’s always evening under the glow of ethereal lanterns. Enjoy authentic Pan-Asian cuisine as dazzling neon dragons chase across the walls or curl up with a cocktail at The Tiger Bar.
