Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

I am definitely not expecting an intense coaster, but do you think it will be a family coaster, or more tame like a kids coaster?

The spinning should put it in the "Family Coaster" catagory.

There is no way that is the coaster layout. THat's not even an S-curve! Looks more line an inline roll but I doubt it will launch and then 7 seconds launch again.

Hippogriff but launched is my guess.

Honestly this sounds fun to me. If it has a show scene stop at the first launch to help pad out the ride time a bit and give a bit more wow factor than Hippogriff then I'll be happy. Combine that with a cool train station and queue and even better.

Do you think the Monster's coaster will at least have better capacity than Hippogriff?

Probably around the same? Mack spinning coasters usually have 4 cars with 4 seats each for a total of 16 riders. Hippogriff has 16 seats as well. Really depends on how fast they can dispatch those trains. Hippogriff typically averages around 60-90 sec dispatches, so an hourly throughput of around 700-900 realistically.

Though, I'd assume the Monsters coaster will be a lot more efficient.

Any idea how many seats were slated to be in the initial theater plans?

Is that theater in HTTYD an indoor theater or a covered theater? I can't remember if it's been discussed or not.

No inside info here, but I’m 99% sure it’ll be enclosed. If it’s like Beining, Dragons will be flying around and I assume the work behind making that happen needs to be done full enclosed.

Look at that turn!

Look at that turn!

Uhh, that looks like a pretty tight turn for a family spinning coaster. Might just be the angle though.

hows this angle?

So this thing really is gonna launch into a launch. . .

Presumably that building right by the turn will be themed on all sides, right? If I recall, the site plan (at one time, at least) had a path extending around that back side of the building, but who knows if that's still the plan.

I'm also curious about the back side of the restaurant on the outside of the land; seems tailor-made for some additional town building facades (if that area will still be guest-accessible). It would not appear there's enough room there for both a pathway and a berm/foliage to obscure that restaurant.
