Epic Universe Expansion Speculation

[OrlLover]

Big empty box easy and fast to build.

But also, the same permits that say only 1 story now also deleted 150,000 sq ft previously, so not sure early info on there can be trusted.

EDIT: As in, permit a big 1 story empty box structure, then add interior structure later under separate interior build out permit (once they’re done actually designing it).

Do they really need another Potter coaster though?

I agree with what you’re saying overall but I think Universal is not interested in another coaster for this park in particular. That’s just asking for more trouble if it’s a complicated build.

If it’s another Gringotts style then I’m okay with that.

Unless you know something I don’t know….???

If it’s a multi-track indoor single-rail powered coaster that glides like you’re flying on a broomstick through a dark interior designed to look like Wizarding Paris or whatever people probably won’t even think of it as a “coaster”.

For example.

My guess is the expansion will be either an omnimover or walk through attraction of some kind.

A walk through?? Do those exist anymore?

somewhat? it would obviously be more substantial then VCMB if that was the case. So my money is on a omnimover or other D ticket dark ride of sorts. I don't think that would want to have two E tickets in one land.

A coaster that has the station on the ground floor then launches into a gravity building could technically be one story.

Does Gringotts have good capacity?

 

[UniversalRBLX]

Does Gringotts have good capacity?

When they run the correct number of trains yes. Above 1,400 an hour

Now that I'm thinking about Alicia's comment... Universal could potentially have this ready to go in 2028 to compete with the other major roller coaster "with unique show system" in Orlando (Monsters' Inc.)

Exactly, think ride sensation not ride system.

Doesn’t sound epic at all.

Can we get one of these super ambitious awe-inspiring rides for Nintendo? plz?

There's enough space to house an indoor coaster and a smaller attraction, something like the Bowser Jr Challenge but with the interactive wands.

I think a "Wand Challenge Trail" would be a fantastic B-ticket experience.

Indoor coaster/dark ride hybrids are fine. What is not, are pure coasters. Epic is already out of balance with them, just like USF is with simulators. All things in moderation is a good policy.

Interactivity with wands and spoken words? It could end up being overwhelmed. Although, how they could make a spoken word audible over everyone else is a good question. Sometimes, I would like to see a good vs evil where, if you choose the dark side, you have as good a chance at winning as the good side.

Heck, ET doesn't even use the right names at the end very often. Keep it simple.

So like Arthur at Europa Park.
