Epic Universe Expansion Speculation

[TheUniC6]

No spoilers but especially after the movie, I would happily sacrifice Luigi's Mansion for a Galaxy-themed expansion of Super Nintendo, or heck a whole Galaxy land in USF or an eventual 4th gate. Holy cow.

Maybe Nintendo and Universal ought to have this as a backup plan if Zelda remains stuck in development hell.

Why not something akin to Flight of Passage? Have three or four operating theaters with a saddled broomstick? Personally, I have wanted Uni to do a flying theater for a while. If not for Potter, maybe flying with Dracula in Dark Universe.

Love FOP. Disney guests love it too....I'm sure it would be popular as a Potter attraction if done in a similar high quality manner.

Even before the movie I’ve always said bringing Space Fantasy over but themed to Mario Galaxy would be a good idea.

I thought everyone wanted FoP for Berk? What's going on here?!?!?

It works everywhere, it's that good.

While I agree to an extent I don’t think that’s the big reason why they have had several issues over the years.

Bad management is more like it in my opinion.

Cedar Fair always did a lot better than Six Flags I believe.

Not to detract from the overall topic, but I’ve grown to feel the same. Food quality to me has become an underrated but impactful factor in a good overall park. While I’ve seen Disney and Universal do well with their food options, when it comes to more traditional parks like Six Flags (still not used to Cedar Fair now being part of the same company…), I would rather find some franchise location I trust inside. I will say, United Parks and Entertainment makes Six Flags look incredibly operated nowadays sadly.

And here I am, a coaster nerd, while everyone is ganging up on the coasterz trend… lol

In all seriousness, I think Epic only has one too many coasters. And that’s really because they weren’t able to set dress it properly (presumably because of liability + time constraint reasons). I think an indoor one for Potter would be a welcome, thrilling addition that would *importantly* fill out the land and allow an additional pull during stormy weather while still (hopefully) proving immersive.

Agreed! I honestly think an indoor coaster is the main thing this park is missing! I also wouldn’t be against some kind of non-coaster related Potter ride (indoors preferably)!

Maybe I'm over (or under) thinking this, but I can't shake the thought that "FoP broomstick ride" just sounds like Forbidden Journey, but stationary. Specifically scenes like this:

I will be paying attention to permits for this plot to determine whether it’s a coaster or not.
