Because that’s probably when they got rid of the idea of an all day open hub.There’s a note on the September 12th post that seems to clear up a convo we’ve been having for years. (Although the date that appears with the image is from 2018.)
There’s another thread for speculation and rumors Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & SpeculationI’m out of the loop for this; could someone summarize what attractions and lands are going to be in this, rumored or otherwise?

And that’s a tall order, but Nintendo, How to Train Your Dragon, Universal Monsters and Wizarding World are the rumored lands.
And here’s my guesses for literally everything.
Nothing concrete yet. I get the feeling we’ll learn more early next year. Until then, they’re focusing on backstage stuff. But yes, Potter VR definitely removed from Epic (and moved to Studios) as far as I’ve heard.So nothing has changed aside from the VR?
@Alicia is the new Robert Niles..... :thumbsup: @Alicia, best Universal info source in the Universe.Nothing concrete yet. I get the feeling we’ll learn more early next year.

Anyone else kind of wishing Monsters land was moved to Studios? Thematically it would be a great fit for the park and would be absolutely perfect for the FFL plot.Nothing concrete yet.

The theme for Islands is adventure, not literature (that was more a coincidence than anything). Also, the theme for Studios is more broad now, just entertainment in general, encompassing film, TV and musicIs this park going to have an overarching theme? Islands is all based on literature, Studios is all about the movies. Even though those themes have become a little muddled throughout the years, they’re still there.
Park looks amazing regardless, just curious to how Classic Monsters will coexist with Nintendo World.
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t there some backstory/lore out there for Islands that says that a family was shipwrecked or something and the books that they had with them came to life and formed each island or something? I’m sure I totally butchered that but I swear I could have read that somewhere.The theme for Islands is adventure, not literature (that was more a coincidence than anything).

The theme for Epic Universe is going into different worlds; immersiveness is the theme.

There are stories/lore, but im pretty sure they are mostly fanmade.Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t there some backstory/lore out there for Islands that says that a family was shipwrecked or something and the books that they had with them came to life and formed each island or something?

I think the lands are based on books rather than the rides themselves. JP was a book before a movie and Dudley is in a land prominently featuring comic strip characters.I've never heard of that. Also how is it books themed if one of the opening day attractions is based on a TV show (Dudley) and JP is mostly the movie?
You're overestimating the size of the FFL plot, the structure is 185' x 145', and just the single ride building for monsters has a larger footprint than Forbidden Journey, which has a footprint of ~260' x 380'.Anyone else kind of wishing Monsters land was moved to Studios?

It wont need to co-exist with SNW, they are their own immersive lands cut off from the hub by portals like Diagon Alley is. The over arching theme within the Hub is Astronomical (atm), not that I've ever paid any mind to big overarching themes or weird theme park canonIs this park going to have an overarching theme?
