Epic Universe Expansion Speculation

ride system(boat)

But will there be water?

Lot of people think it won’t be Black Lagoon.

I’m sure everyone who wants it to be will hope @simon is right.

I have nothing to base this thought on, but my 'intuition' has always been that the well connected, always correct, @Tomfoolery was Greg Hall. Out in left field I know, but that always popped up in my mind. As I said though, no insider info, just a hunch. Anyway, bottom line, Hall is the best Universal has. Pay the man what he's worth and elevate him to the top UC Executive position.

When I was searching on his postings, I just found this information on his statement. Each land will have own coasters in epic. So far, httyd has one DU has one, Celestial park has one, Nintendo has one as well.

Only land that is missing coaster is ministry. Which means if he is indeed works for creative and get infos from inside, I think the ride type for harry potter expansion will be a coaster.

Plan does change sometimes and the attraction may not end up to utilize black lagoon ip. but what’s most important for now is that dark universe is getting an many clues for an expansion way earlier than we have estimated before.

My opinion stand firmly strong because all the infos I gathered is from them by in person discussion last year and I haven’t heard any other infos or hints beside what I’ve mention in this forum. And I saw their words becoming in action multiple times. So I believe what they said was a truth.

But whatever if the ride is based on black lagoon or completely new idea, I’m sure we can all be happy that they are indeed working on much needed dark moor improvements in a fast pace.

There's a ton of original info that came from him, including the new park in the UK. Never wrong on anything. A few times I posted comments asking if he was a Universal Executive. He liked those posts. But, of course, I've just guessed on his identity.

I’d even say he may be the next Joe Rohde.

I really hope not...

It's sounds to me like that post was saying each land has an E-Ticket ride and that specific coaster is an E-Ticket. I don't think it was meant to be read as "coasters are E ticket, and each land has one (a coaster)"... And coasters aren't immediately E-Ticket. Hippogriff isn't an E Ticket. Hell, even Curse Of The Werewolf at Epic isn't an E-Ticket. I personally wouldn't read into that as evidence of the Potter attraction being a coaster.

Gregory Hall is 'The Man'. Best Creative since the Spider Man gang.......

I shook his hand on Epic’s opening day as I walked right to Monsters Unchained. Sometimes I wonder how many other people recognized who he was and did the same lol

He has come far really fast. I hope Comcast realizes the gem that they have on their hands, and give him the status he deserves and let him jump ahead of some of his overrated bosses.

So I'm pretty behind on this thread and decided to jump in.

Are we thinking this Darkmoor expansion could actually arrive before the Potter one?

I’m thinking this for the timeframe.

Potter opens first and then maybe a year later the Dark Universe expansion. But we also have the potential Nintendo project in the works as well.

I think Nintendo is the land least in need of an expansion, to be honest. It's got a dark ride, a kiddie ride, and a coaster.

It's well rounded but I'd argue it needs a better e-ticket. Exactly 0 people think SNW has the best rides in the park.

And, it also feels the most crowded. The argument I've heard is that an expansion could potentially thin out those crowds.

Yeah, plus they may want to divert the over crowded Nintendo crowds to Darkmore and the very large Potter area.

Nobody worth their salt has said anything about it NOT being Creature. The only other rumor being pedaled is "No wait it's gonna be a Bride of Frankenstein Coaster guys trust me" which came from someone who said that Toon Lagoon is becoming Shonen Jump Lagoon before Lost Continent gets touched.

So what happens when bride is in it and the ride system is a coaster?

I don't know, will Creature be there? I'm looking pretty hard at that Creature and Bride art seen on merch at DU and going "IT'S BEEN IN OUR FACES THE WHOLE TIME".

I've got a lot of copium to huff between now and then.

I have two priorities on this possible attraction. #1: It's INDOORS...#2: It's FUN
