Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

[fryoj]

This would make sense for the FF plot really, since space is more limited there.

It's almost like it was designed around the ministry elevator ride for the FF plot.

Wasn't one of the rumors for the Ministry ride similar to this with rotating into different rooms?

I believe so. Also seems similar to the puzzle theater in a way.

Hmm I never considered dueling for the next gen of wands. I know these are WB based, but I wonder if they’ll offer an inspiration for the in parks wands. Just a reminder Noble Collection was making/selling the wands before Hogsmeade opened and Universal expanded the line. Not to say that’s whats happening - but I wouldn’t be surprised if we get more light beams/trails with color changes for this next EU batch.

I have heard of new wands for EU, let me poke around.

Another theme park site is reporting that new wands will debut in the Wizarding Worlds in early December, with the current crop (the non-character ones) phased out as stock is sold.

Well that’s interesting. In googling this, I saw that the new WB wand is shipping early December as well.

Wonder if the new wands will be backwards compatible.

For the effects? I'm sure they will glue an IR reflector on them

New wands but NOT new interactive stuff. Just new wood types and finishes.

Thanks @Joe ! Just to clarify, are you talking about the December batch or the EU ones?

I don't know if they're actually coming out in Dec, but yes, those.

This would be a great concept for the "carousel ride" in the hub.

This is quite interesting, I think the Hub ride will be more simple, but I'd love to be proven wrong

I'm sorry. Universal has patented a ride system involving an elevator-style ride, and all people can think of is Harry Potter: Ministry of Magic? Can't we think of an actual Universal property this could be used for? One with an even more beloved character than The Boy Who Lived....

Just realized they've been missing an easy HHN layup for six years.

Someplace (China I think?) has one of these already. (There's also that weird ride in Japan where the theater sinks down and turns into a ride...)

This ride system is first being used for Efteling's Danse Macabre which opens in 2024.

Awesome. I went on the original Spookslot walkthrough which this replaces and it was awesome, this will push that experience to the max!

I found the video - its from FutureScope not China (my bad) and its the first instillation of the Dynamic Theater
