Epic Universe Expansion Speculation

[saint.piss]

I really don't want SLOP to come to USO imo. Let Hollywood have a nice exclusive. I don't see the need for it to come to Florida. Do something unique for USF using the SLOP ride system, possibly Shrek or another DreamWorks IP. It would be perfect for DreamWorks land

The biggest thing that we, as enthusiasts of coasters/parks is always put ourself in the equation when it's time to add up what's good for the park. The average visitor to universal in Hollywood and Orlando will not visit the other park ever. Orlando would have a higher chance of getting hollywood park visitors due to it being Orlando but overall a very small percent of park goers will cross pollinate. With that said, both already have Simpsons, minions, renditions of mummy, F&F, Transformers, so why not SLoP?

I generally agree, but if the choices were SLOP or nothing like it, I'd happily take the straight clone.

True. The biggest draw that I feel with SLOP is slow/moving, family dark ride with animatronics…Uni needs more of those. I guess it isn’t the SLOP brand I’m tied to as much as it is the form of attraction.

That’s why Epic feels…different right now. Looking at the ride height requirements, technically, if my almost 3 yr old wanted to ride, they could ride everything but Stardust, Dragon Racers, and Monsters. And yes…he seems to be an unusually tall 3 year old.

Another thing people have pointed out online is that a decent portion of EUs rides are outside, which would be subject to closures in the Florida weather. EU needs more no or little heights family attractions these families can ride when the weather is bad.

The shows will help with that, for what it's worth and I think, as others have noted, EU is better set up for families than the existing parks. But I agree that the resort in general could use more low-or-no-height requirement, indoor rides. Something akin to Pirates of the Caribbean would go a long way.

Early rumors did have some sort of Creature of the Black Lagoon boat ride slated for the Dark Universal expansion pad. Not sure if it's still in the cards or if another concept took its place. A more family friendly dark would do wonders for the land.
