Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

[Rhian]

I mean it sounds like the ride works it's just without more than a couple of vehicles. Technically they could open it and the wait would unnecessarily long but if the GP doesn't know what's the difference? They'll assume it's just really popular, not capacity is bad.

I'd start to get concerned if it's April and they haven't made progress.

It’s the same issue that Rise had, right? Leading to the cannons being (seemingly) perma-killed.

I think those just came back online at Disneyland actually!

 

[Steptwice]

So it is it safe to assume that the Harry Potter ride is the most technologically advanced ride at the park? That makes me a little nervous for the quality of monsters unlimited , but maybe I’m over thinking

I think that was safe to assume a long time ago

 

[UniversalRBLX]

Has to be vehicle-specific then no? Adjustments they need to make to the vehicles themselves? Universal, and its 3rd party vendors, have decades of programming rides with multiple vehicles.

 

[Fedic]

Monsters Unchained is the same ride system as Potter

Is it? Do we have confirmation of that? I thought the initial rumor was that is was going to use the Gen3 version of the RoboCoaster (the one on a rollercoaster track).

It’s close to the same as Forbidden Journey, not the one on a roller coaster track, but components were made by a different company this time, so technically not exactly the same as FJ’s ride system.

We saw the ride vehicles and track being loaded in, and it looks exactly the same to me though.

Apparently epic universe might open without ministry of magic. Cause apparently they have only been able to cycle 2 ride vehicles so they may just have the live show for opening day

I had been hearing this rumor for several months now. If that’s still going on, this is gonna be a wild build to opening day. Good luck to all involved!

Opening with limited vehicles and press? See: Hagrid's

Gringotts had opening issues as well, FWIW.

 

[saint.piss]

It's Universal... they'll get it working. The whole point of TM/Passholder previews is to figure out the kinks of the rides and test them before the grand opening. It'll be alright lol

Famously! Caused the whole land to be delayed.

Apparently. I heard minstry of magic ride system is such a mess that universal is suing simtec

If you’ve been genuinely right all along I want an HBO comedy made about this entire process. The big new ride system can’t be that bad can it?

This is one of those things that has to be pure conjecture because if Universal is actually suing there’s no way we should know about it lol

It would be public record

 

[UniversalRBLX]

Having knowledge of a potential lawsuit is a heck of a high-level insider... one who probably won't be leaking stuff for theme park fanatics.

Either way, every Universal park has lawsuits so it's not an extraordinary situation. IOA had suits, USF had notable suits towards multiple ride manufacturer firms, VB & ProSlide, etc.

Wait wait wait…. Two minutes? I put it in for five then wait when the pops have a three second gap!

If i did 5 minutes I'd have a bag full of charcoal

Popcorn is 2:30.

Or 2:40 if you are feeling risky to get all of the bits.
