A Dolores Umbridge AA would honestly be scary af, more than Dracula!
To say screens aren’t so dominant is perhaps a bit disingenuous. They will be used in novel ways.Henry Mystic on WDWMagic has been revealing some details concerning the Monsters as well as Ministry attractions.
Basically corroborating a lot of what Alicia has said with screens not being so dominant and then having a lot of practical sets and AA’s.
Of course projecting mapping will be included but in new innovative ways.

So… we’re the screens now?To say screens aren’t so dominant is perhaps a bit disingenuous. They will be used in novel ways.

Maybe the screens were the friends we met along the waySo… we’re the screens now?
Woah.
Definitely.....I have yet to see a new park hit the numbers that fans expect. Usually, the first and second year attendance numbers aren't all that different than the existing parks, or even less.I've always been skeptical of the "no season pass" rumor. They risk creating a redo of the Galaxy's Edge fiasco (or, alternatively, Hollywood's Wizarding World debut catastrophe) if they create too many barriers to seeing Epic.
I'm skeptical too, and hope that they learned their lesson from Wizarding World at USH (expecting people to pay increased AP Prices along w/ having to pay for parking).I've always been skeptical of the "no season pass" rumor.

As long as Universal becomes upfront about it when tickets debut, I wouldn't be surprised if 1-Day tickets and those with vacation packages are only allowed in those first few weeks.I feel the simple solution is to do reservations for AP’s. First come first serve kinda deal.
Then do individual one day passes normally and if one day reaches capacity, just make it unavailable to purchase.
The real meat and potatoes of the situation is how many times should AP’s be able to visit and book reservations for Epic within its first opening year. This is where things start to get controversial. Assuming that your AP’s will now cost more because of the fact you are getting another park to visit, people will argue that they SHOULD be able to visit when ever they want, after all they paid to do so. BUT the demand of the park at launch will be astronomical. So there needs to be a happy medium that lets casual vacationers not have to climb to the top of the Chronos to be able to visit while ALSO not completely leading to the possibility of a bunch of AP’s only getting to visit two-three times out of the year.
I may be overestimating or underestimating the situation, I don’t know a whole lot about balancing capacity in these ways, would love more input on those metrics/knowledge if anyone had any they are allowed to share.
Universal should stay far away from anything related to a vacation club. Hotels will become more expensive for non-members/rack rates in order incentivize joining the club... that's why Disney has these astronomical prices at their resorts.I’m not a DVC expert, but Universal absolutely should be doing something similiar. Their hotel offerings are already cheaper. With the new park, they’re really able to easily convince people to spend a week there, especially if hotels are cheaper. Plus you don’t need a boat, skyliner, and/or bus to get around. Everything is either going to be at your hotel, within walking distance, or 1 bus ride. The resort is much more concise.
I’d 100% become a vacation club member. They should seriously consider this option. Disney have not much for rest of the decade and Universal can really easily shift crowds their direction if they tried.
