Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

I'm glad I'm not the one that has to pay the light bill.

It’s all LEDs, so it’s probably not that bad. Now all those launched coasters may be a different story…

Oh I'm sure it's still more than I could afford even if it's all LEDs.

I'm curious to know of Stardust has its own power boost that's similar to Hulk's or if it's not even necessary with this type of launch? Those launches are no joke and it's double with both coasters.

I think they've finally perfected LSM/LIM launches-- they don't seem to be browning out parks like they used to 25+ years ago.

Road signs are on their way for local roads...

So... I went to Epic again today.

I rode 3 rides. Stardust, the Carousel, and Mario cart. Hiccup's, Monster's, and Werewolf never opened. Stardust opened late and had multiple downtimes. Fyre Drill was open for about an hour. Dagon Racers was open all day but had at least a 75 min. wait because it was one of the only rides open.

It was a pretty rough day for Epic.

Based on the directions, I'm guessing these are for the Kirkman extension?

Hiccup's and Werewolf did just in the last hour/half-hour of the day.

I mean, I'm not mad. That is what we are there for. We are stress testing the park. I still had a great time.

Happy to report CelesTiki had no downtimes. Oak and Star is fantastic. The stained glass wall at the Plasterd Owl is stunning.

It was a bit of a funny situation. Untrainable Dragon had a problem with a showing so they canceled it and handed everyone in line fast passes. Since almost nothing else was open most people held onto it.

Then both Hiccup's and Werewolf opened and everyone rushed over making the lines 90-minute waits and a full fast pass line with less than an hour to park close.

Fountains were gorgeous though weren't they?

Celestial Park is stunning.

Celestial Park is stunning.

in my opinion, Celestial Park is masterpiece on so many levels!

And the great thing is that it will only get more beautiful as the landscaping & trees mature and fill in.

I am so glad universal is doing these "technical rehearsals"! Gives the rides time to get the kinks out and the TM's time to get into the groove. Gives them time to see what could potentially work and what doesn't. I wish they could have done 3 solid months of this (so I could have been able to go back again lol).
