Be sure you're subscribed as Epic Universe news is about to kick into overdrive!
And by overdrive you mean more excitement to contain to a minimum lol.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 yess!!!!!!! We love to hear it 👏👏 when are going to be able to start like, booking??!
En un futuro las Halloweens horrors nighs quedarán eestupendas en Epic Universe 😊
Another amazing update! Exciting small changes each time. This park is going to be uhh... Epic 😆 🤣

This is what Disney used to do in their glory days. It is such a treat to see Universal thrive with great themed areas and experiences.
Universal Does!
What Disney Don't!
Hopefully, although I’m not holding my breath, it will light a fire under Disney to finally get back to building experiences like they used to since they really need to compete.
Disney to greedy 💰 unfortunately for that first they need to get both there water parks running in peak season which again is unlikely 😢
Nowadays Disney is all about the money rather than entertaining the audience and people who go to their theme parks
Epic Universe is the park Disney built with its buyout of Universal's Hulu portion.
Alicia, you get plenty of praise for your fantastic reporting, but I don't know if anyone's mentioned how great your sound mixing is. I really love the way you perfectly accent each land info transition with fitting music cuts!
I also love the consistency in your selection for music about each section you're discussing. You've pretty much trained me to identify each land you'll be discussing from the music alone!
Thank you so much for saying that! A lot of time and effort goes into the sound design for these (and all of my) videos! And for exactly that reason. I really want the viewer to feel the correct emotions for each area, and it really helps with recognition. Remember I used to show the land logos on screen when these videos first started, but now the music does the job of that just fine! (Well, that and it's easier to tell the difference visually now that every land isn't just dirt anymore.)
@ThemeParkStop that's a great strategy and it's not going unnoticed.
As soon as i hear the "four croaking frogs" 😆 at the beginning of each video, i get excited! Ha ha
I’ve noticed too and I love it!
@@ThemeParkStop I used to work turnstiles at Universal and Islands of Adventure. You got me with the IoA entry music when you were covering the entry area. I used to hear that soundtrack for 8 - 10 hour shifts.
I hope Universal hires you as the in resort “voice” for transit and announcements! With all these updates(which you’ve done a superb job of!) I feel like you’re basically the spokesperson for this park!
I’m available for voice hire if they’re interested lol
Omg great idea, I’m telling Universal to hire her in the surveys they send out lol
right, even if she just says the iconic "The Moving Walkway Exit is approaching, please watch your step!"
@5:08-5:49, YES! YEEEESS! This was exactly what I wanted from a Monsters Dark Ride, physical sets and animatronics! No BS Screen effects. “Monsters Unchained” sounds like it’s going to be a TRUE Universal Classic, up there with Jaws the ride, and E.T Adventure.
I personally wouldn't mind a mix of screens a la HP forbidden journey . I find them great if you use both
The attention to detail is mind-blowing. Even the resort pools have different shapes!
Constellation Caroussel will look absolutely fabulous in gold.
I’m really hoping that epic universe does well enough to make Disney get it together and compete.
Your videos are the best, most informative, and well researched Epic Universe update vids. Keep up the phenomenal work!
Thank you so much!!
@@ThemeParkStop I think a Pokemon theme park would be wonderful
I went to Disney in 2017 and it was ok. I went to Universal in 2022 and have been going ever since. It is a MUST for vacation. I definitely cannot wait until they open epic universe. I have been waiting ever since they bought the land.
What have you done in the last 3 years?
Disney: we built a fountain
Universal: We built a new park
Soon to be 4 new parks.
@@declanphelps4857what do you mean
Even if the plan is still summer 2025 for the official opening, I feel like we’ll definitely see some form of sneak previews much sooner than that at this rate of construction. You mentioned awhile ago that Universal was looking for performers, dancers, etc. to begin auditions & rehearsals for Epic Universe’s stage shows specifically. In addition to possible Passholder Previews, do you think these lucky performers will be among the first few VIP guests to get to experience the rides at Epic Universe?
I believe there may be extended Team Member previews for everyone who works at Universal Orlando in the months leading up to Epic Universe's grand opening.
Thank-you for another informative update, this park will be truly beautiful when completed, I'm looking forward to Dark Universe the most however, I'm also looking forward to seeing how gorgeous Celestial Park will look leading up to the Grand Helios Hotel, this is going to change the shape of the theme park industry around the world.....Disney better be watching!
Do Universal Studios in Northern California
@@ThemeParkStopI believe this will happen as well. My brother works at Universal Orlando (Dr Dooms Fearfall specifically) and he and other crew members got to test the Minion Blast ride before it was opened to the public. They rode around up to 50 times for testing and feedback purposes. So i definitely think that Team Members will be first for previews, which will double as testing and probably to see if the team members may want to move to Epic Universe.
They are still about 5 months ahead of their construction schedule and people need to re-read the official Universal statement about the planned opening date...They said Epic Universe was opening in Summer 2025 AT THE LATEST. The 2 hotels are opening in Jan & Feb 2025, the employees don't need to use them, they already live there. The passholders from out of town will need them for their previews. Construction workers on site are being told the park will be fully open months ahead of any Summer date. If they are ready to open for the Spring Break crowds, they will be. They don't have 18 months left of work to do. The construction crews will be gone before Christmas. Universal left some wiggle room by giving a vague time frame for opening, but if they can open 3-5 months earlier, they get return on investment that much quicker and boost their stock price by beating projections and expectations. Alicia might not want to predict a much earlier opening, but just watch how much progress is made in the next 6 months, and you will realize the finishing touches will happen from this July to Christmas this year!
Man, these updates make me really excited! They're always super well put together. Keep up the great work!

I can’t wait to ride the Yoshi ride in about a year. From what I’ve of the Japanese version, I expect nothing more than a fun and relaxing experience.
The more details we see the more jaw dropping'ly stunning it looks! It already seems that it has the potential to be the best theme park in the world ousting the fabulous Tokyo DisneySea.
Thank-you for another informative update, this park will be truly beautiful when completed, I'm looking forward to Dark Universe the most however, I'm also looking forward to seeing how gorgeous Celestial Park will look leading up to the Grand Helios Hotel, this is going to change the shape of the theme park industry around the world.....Disney better be watching!
I swear since 2020 all the Disney staff are at universal now - everything just keeps getting better and better.
And when your on park you feel like you’re the guest and they want you to be there.
Disney unfortunately doesn’t feel that way anymore.
Yep - DEI vs "Get er Done!" mentality
2020? More like 2010!
It's like when all the Imagineers left after working on Animal Kingdom to go work on IOA
So true. Everyone is so nice at Universal. Had the worst experience at Disney last week. The actual worst interaction with guest relations I've ever had.
The entire park looks great…..but I’m 1000% EXCITED for the Monsters Land MOST!!
YES!! me too! I’m most excited for the monsters unleashed ride BY FAR.
@@kieran8792 ….YES! And HOPEFULLY in the future, a Creature from the black lagoon boat/ dark ride with the expansion!
@@eddieg6436 I COMPLETELY forgot that was a possibility too.. this land is seriously going to be EPIC
@eddieg6436 hell yeah dude. I don't care what it cost, I'll be there. Also I'm hoping it reduces traffic to the other parks. Opening week I'm planning a trip to the old park lol
Now that the legacy store is closing on City Walk I am interested in seeing the scale model for the expansion in the new preview centre.
I was going to wait until Feb 2026 to visit, but I think Nov 2025 is looking more likely. I need to see this park with Christmas decor!
I'd just like to say that I greatly appreciate how clearly you enunciate your words. Even as a native English speaker, I have some trouble parsing speech sometimes and usually have subtitles on, but I don't need them with your videos!
Thank you for sharing updates on this amazing journey!
Stellar work as usual. Love your updates 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Love your coverage of everything. I check every day for new updates. So excited for the opening of this new park !
thanks for another update .. great work
My favorite Epic Universe coverage channel 🔥👏🏽!
I probably wont visit the park opening year but I love the progress!
Your videos are so professional and well edited, including all the sound mixing. Apart from that, I can’t wait to go to this park. Universal is really becoming what Disney used to be.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
Incredible progress made since the last update. It's amazing thr speed they are working at. Also those final images in the video really do give a great perspective on how Epic this park will be.
Amazing work! Great update!
God I love waking up and having a brand new construction update to our prized new theme park. It gets me more and more excited for finally a new park besides from Islands Of Adventure. I wonder what the parking lots and where they are going to be located...I also wonder if its going to be a long as a walk from original universal parking then having to go threw city walk just to reach the park its a pretty long stretch which would be nice to cut down on. Thank you Theme Park Stop for the updates its 2024 yall just one more year before the pearly gates of a new universal opens. And could you imagine a Halloween Horror nights at the new park The monsters area would be a spectacular place for that. Well just my thoughts and questions hope the rest of yall Floridians have a great day!
Much Respect from Windermere.
Do Universal Studios in Northern California
Love the videos you come out with. So informative and your voice is so soothing lmao
Thanks for the new info. Love your voice
Keep up the outstanding coverage!
I’m really excited to see what’s in store for the future of Universal
Another amazing update!
This is turning out amazing so far!
another great update!!
Amazing detailed coverage
A Frankenstein monster that walks out before the ride???!?!?! Ah! I can't wait!
Wow the details coming out about the monsters ride are so cool!
Your videos are great. Great job.
What a way to start my day off. Ty
I’m getting a little worried that there rushing the park, but I have hop in universal. Glory to Universal.
I am impressed by the amount of new patents and technology being used in this park. Im also super excited for the KUKA Roboarm coaster. Ive always thought it was an underused but really immersive and fun ride system. Overall, im ecstatic for what this park will bring!
Another excellent update!
Looks like there is a lot of work that needs to be done. Hopefully it’ll be done by next year. Thanks again for the video and information.
I agree...some are hoping for a late 2024 opening or early 2025 and that just isn't happening. There's so much more work to do. Just look at the state of Celestial Park. It's no where near close to being completed. I'm a little concerned if it'll be ready when they open. Also there are attractions without ride vehicles still so they can't do any testing at all which is another concern. Some of these attractions are quite complex and need lots and lots of testing before they're ready for guests to experience them.
Great Video!!
Thank you!
I’m very impressed with this report.
What a way to start this freezing morning!
Congrats on the success of this channel. This is Mike I bought your old RUclips channel
Great news update for Universal Epic Universe
Omigosh! This has to be the most exciting update yet!
Commenting my enjoyment of the coverage of the new park
THANKS ALICIA ❤
Thanks.
omgggg how excited!

MUCHAS GRACIAS
Another amazing update! Exciting small changes each time. This park is going to be uhh... Epic 😆 🤣
This is so exciting!!!! I want to know when we can start actually planning our stays here!!🎉🎊
The two hotels are open for bookings now starting Jan 2025😊
@zarajenkins6948 as in, currently, as we speak? I've got to check it out if so 😀
I'm sure there will be some sort of announcement sometime with in the next couple of months on vacation packages for Epic Universe. They need to give guests at least a year in advance for booking a trip.
The Stella Nova and Terra Luna are already bookable for early 2025 right now...keep in mind Epic Universe will NOT be open during those times.
This is sooooooo very exciting!!!
I have a dream, where at the mention of Orlando florida, the first thing that pops into people's head is universal Orlando theme parks.
Nice video! :) I've just had a possible show idea for the Nintendo Land! What if Princess Peach led a few musical numbers at or near her castle, referencing her new game coming out?
I'm excited .
Peter Parker and I have had the opportunity to ride Yoshi adventure. Slow ride but super cute. Excited about the mine cart ride
pretty cool
So glad I got to be a part of its construction
This park is shaping up to be as over the top themed as diagon alley in every single area. The attractions sound awesome and it will be a top notch experience. There will STILL be idiots that won't go becuse: It'S NoT DiSnEy!!!!!
dude fr the Diagon alley, Jurassic Park, Hogsmeade, and now all of epic universe are gonna be the best themed lands in theme park history
I always love seeing these updates until the park opens. In the future will you do coverage over the Pokepark Kanto in Japan?
Epic Universe será un fabuloso parque,felicitaciones desde España y ojalá que Universal se quede con Portaventura 😊
Gee I want to go looks fun specially when it’s all done
It's taking shape
With the insane amount of stuff that Disney is pumping out onto Disney+ for Marvel and Star Wars right now, I haven't felt genuinely excited for something in almost three years. But I am beyond ecstatic for this park to open.
WOW 🤩
The park is becoming more beautiful every day.
I hope the rumor about the electric busses is true.
Thank you for another amazing video!
Love your videos! Do you think there will be a staged opening or only when completely finished
Probably when everything is finished, but there should hopefully be Team Member previews and maybe Passholder previews before grand opening.
Probably only open once finished. Maybe have media previews or pass holder previews with a few restaurants or shops not open yet but I assume they won't start that til 95% of the park is ready.
love this saga!
I wish they put this much effort into the one in California 😢
The Potter Arch looks like giant fire places.
We are getting close! very exciting. Wonder what project 917 is
this is good
Something I’ve been wondering for a lil while: With how the Portals have been described, will they still have signs or something like that which have the names of the lands themselves on them?
They are expected to have phrases and etched images on the fronts that will relate to the properties. I bet there will be directional signage around the hub that says the names of the lands though.
Curious on if theyll make one location the default pickup location for Volcano Bay.
As a video game fan, I feel spoiled that we are getting a whole land dedicated to them
I’m curious if the un used Boo Holes in Kong, but some teasing from UO they might use them again, would indicate Boo Holes in the que for Monster Unleashed. If so, I’d be curious if they are putting child swap as an option at the start of the line instead of at pre boarding.
Yeah HHN theming for some rides would be cool and the very first time I rode Kong S.I. it was about a week after I went to HHN. The entire time in the queue I was so curious about the boo holes and was wondering if it was a scrapped idea for reintroducing dual park HHN.
@@yoplait3256 I have heard that they did have scare actors when it opened, but then they got rid of them.
Just watched a video from opening day and you are right. It looks really cool but also odd considering how tame the ride itself is.
Did anyone else see the scaffolding for the 'golden temple' and thing it was going to be a REALLY retro Mario type thing with DK at the top throwing barrels down? Just me? Ok.
I am very satisfied they may be building an electric bus charging station terminal next to an electricity sub station - even if its a coincidence.
Here for the next talking points for Universal Core. 😂
lol @ those guantanamo bay Yoshis
I love this coverage and I’m so excited to see it taking shape! I keep wondering why they’ve put the British Ministry ride in Epic Universe when there’s the lost continent bit sitting there disused and it’s near the British Harry Potter bit. Can only assume it’s a space reason or they need a BIG ride for that section to draw the crowds. The neat part of me wishes it was near Diagon Alley though!
I love how fast it’s moving along because it should be so ready to go in 2025
wow
I dare say they gave it some thought and couldn't do it, thinking it a shame that a monorail system from the existing Universal resort to the Epic Universal resort may have been better than bus shuttles. Just saying. Thanks for the fantastic update.
Im so excited for nintendo world
Monsters pre-show sounds like the Tokyo B&B Preshow idea
I could not click fast enough love all these update videos
I’m surprised Disney isn’t taking this as more of a threat, when this is done, it will be one of the greatest theme parks and potentially take multiple days to fully experience
I don’t yet understand how the Oculus fountain will work. Will they still add all the fountain tech? There are no pipes or anything like that there but they are already painting it blue.
Disney should be very worried
