After a Pokemon expansion, I'd like to see some kind a EPCOT style pavilion where you have a type of life sized collection of Wii games (Sports, Play, Fit, Party)
Screens are fine, in fact they are needed. As long as you mix them in with animatronic scenes. Web sloshers at DCA doesn’t have a single animatronic. Nor does it have a story telling scene at all between screens. I was shocked when I went on this ride the first time. And I hear Disney also cut all the animatronics out of guardians coaster as well. Universal is increasing theme park budgets while Disney is cutting them. Chapek is a f**king cancer to Disney theme parks.
Hey, Universal And Intamin’s Relationship is Like Seaworld and B&M, They Keep coming back and making bangers(Velocicoaster, Mako, Kraken, Hagrid’s, Manta, and this Rumored HTTYD Coaster)
This universal park is going to literally blow Disney away and universal knows it! Classic monsters land and dark ride, are you freaking kidding me?? That truly is EPIC
@@jamespennington3765 Universal: We’re going to open up a theme park in Orlando. Eisner: If your idea is to steal away WDW guests, then we’ll open up another park before yours even opens Universal: We’re going to open up a second theme park in Orlando. Eisner: If your idea is to steal away WDW guests, then we’ll open up another park before yours even opens. Universal: We’re going to open up a third theme park in Orlando.

I really hope the Monsters coaster is indoors. Not only so it remains operational during Florida's frequent inclement weather, but also because the spooky theming and ambiance would be so much better indoors.
I’ve always rooted for Universal Studios. Ever since Harry Potter, their approach to IPs have set a new standard for theme parks. I see the comments and jokes about Disney needing to watch their back and I agree. My opinion is I feel Universal and Disney are on the same playing field but Universal is about to play a chess move with the new park.
I wouldn't be surprised to see it be very close to Space Fantasy, possibly with the ability to change themes for whatever the latest horror or monstery movie is.
Its definitely enough room to have a coaster for every land. I hope this park will be coaster heavy... we love dark rides (if done right) or screen rides (if done right) but there is no denying that we all love coasters. With that said we all cant ride coasters so I understand we need other types of rides but I hope they are more creative!
@@joshuaclark8829 yeah the thing about some dark rides or screen rides it's like a movie once you've seen it you've seen it. Doesnt mean you dont want to see it again but you've already watched it. A coaster is like nothing else... to ride it over an over again still puts a smile on your face!
@@realtv101 that’s why I feel like the mummy is as beloved as it is. It combines that dark ride experience with a coaster, but since it’s in the dark, you don’t need to whip around like velocicoaster to feel the thrill, and thus it’s easier for more people to ride. I really hope we get some more indoor coasters cause not only are they thrilling, but they also don’t go down when it rains 🙌
I got to help design a few elements for the Nintendo portion of this park! Mostly donkey kong! I am so excited to see the snack bar and monkey sculpture above the roller coaster!
So excited they decided to throw in a roller coaster for Monster Universe. Although a theatre was okay I felt they were playing it safe. The roller coaster will help draw in families and also get a new generation interested in the classic monsters.
Most theme parks consider a roller coaster a big plus to their bottom line. I'm sure there will be at least one or two coasters. It wouldn't make much financial sense to build all that and NOT put one in. Now since we're on the topic of possible rides, I really really hope they add the Ministry of Magic and possibly a Hogwarts-inspired hotel. Or they could base something on the Fantastic Beasts films.
This is what happens when a company listens to their customers and works on changing and adjusting and innovating to give them what they ask for. I honestly believe that with this new park and all the cool additions that are coming to the other Universal parks, they're lined up to blow past Disney in the foreseeable future. 😁😁😁
God, seeing the racing coaster's unofficial concept made me gasp... I miss dueling dragons/dragons challenge so much, and I'm so glad Universal understands how absolutely insane that ride was! I know other parks around the world have coasters that duel, but as a florida resident I'm happy to see its concept live on in Universal.
So excited to hear that a roller coaster is rumored for Classic Monsters! With Dracula being my favorite Universal Monster, I'd love a coaster themed to him, but Wolf Man is awesome too! Either way, as a Universal Monsters fan, I'll be very happy! 🐺🧛
Wow....all 4 of these sound incredible. To be honest, the Monsters & Donkey Kong one get me the most excited...thrill is great, but theme & uniqueness is what I love the most about Uni & Disney coasters. Cannot WAIT!!!!
Nintendo and Universal Monsters? Heck yeah! I’m going to Universal Orlando for a marching band trip next year and I’m super pumped to go. It will be my first time visiting this park. But I’m definitely going when Epic Universe opens!
a spooky indoor monsters coaster would be AWESOME! and someone else mentioned a creature from the black lagoon boat ride, which would be equally awesome. as an old-school nintendo fan, though, i’m sure the mine cart ride will end up being my favorite. 🐒
@@ethankleinman1067 I’m not aware of any Mack coaster with a decent launch. I doubt Universal would get involved with development of the launch. Their role will most likely be limited to the theming for the most part. I wish they would have Intamin build this as they make the best launch coasters in the business. Just look at Velocicoaster and Hagrid’s at Islands of Adventure. Thankfully the “How to Train Your Dragon” coaster looks like it will be an Intamin.
@@ethankleinman1067 intamin has done previous launches for Universal like Velocicoaster and Hagrids, they are known in the business for their launching systems as being one of the best.
@@_AT41 maybe since there's rumors that it'll be themed to space, they can make the launches launch like rockets or spaceships so it can be a slow gradual launch at first and then it becomes super fast. They can at least do that. Make the launches be themed to the ride. Either way it still looks like a great ride from what's shown here.
If the spinning Coaster is anything like Storm Chaser at Paultons you're in for a treat! It's a brilliant family spinning Coaster and surprisingly intense!
Great to see Paultons Park in the UK getting a mention - Storm Chaser is a superb family ride and something similar at Epic Universe will go down a storm - Pun intended!
"Indoor Family Spinning Coaster" describes Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind as well. I'm curious to see what Universal and Mack would create there. Storytelling will be key. I'm pulling for the Wolfman for the IP
Guardians is more like Gringotts. A MACK spinning coaster is like Time Traveller at Silver Dollar City. You can also compare it to Cobra's Curse at BG.
@@adammayo4377 Guardians will be WAYY more than Gringotts 🤣. We have already seen part of the layout leaked, and already have an estimated top speed of around 50-65 mph with 2 Launches. This is in no way like the borderline Dark ride of Gringotts. Although, I do not expect it to be overly intense though, since it is disney. Also I feel like Universal would go for something more like Time Traveler since there is literally a Mack Family Spinner like an hour away with quite a lot of theming which I believe would not be the best choice.
hagrids and velocicoaster were gamechanging additions to universal, i wouldn’t be surprised if they start adding in more coasters similar or like them! us here living in the orlando area are so excited for this park to debut
Ahhh more Monsters! You may want to check out Time Traveler at Silver Dollar City too as a possible example. It includes some inversions, a vertical drop, and launches. This is so exciting! Great video. 😁
@@ThemeParkStop Time Traveler also has a pretty big footprint, I just hope this new spinning coaster is a unique layout and not a clone or off the shelf model...
I am so excited for this new park.. I have always enjoyed my visits to Universal and this is just going to double the fun.. plus it is nice to see them investing so much as Disney seems to be cutting back everywhere in there park operations..
This is one GINOOORRRMOUS expansion. I doubt it'll be ready until 2024 at the earliest. I just hope they make the Ministry of Magic a reality and that they add more attractions based on the Mummy.
Also, I believe the spinning coaster would be indoors, and would be something similar to Spider-Man Doc Ock's Revenge Spinning Roller Coaster in Dubai. It may be something like a tour of Dracula's castle and you are chased by Dracula as he tries to make you one of his minions. Or something like that
This new Universal theme park looks amazing, the drawings and design of the park looks really beautiful. I can't wait for this park to open! The name of the park is perfect!
Was gonna go to Disney/universal this year but I’m gonna save more and wait until this opens. Can’t wait! Wish they make a Harry Potter experience like Disney with the SW hotel.
Mario could fill an entire park by itself: you've got the main continuity of Super Mario games; the Mario Kart franchise; Mario Party; Mario Sports... The main layout of the park could be the traditional hub & spoke model, branching out to the most popular lands of the Mushroom Kingdom. Then when it comes time for expansion, you could add a Kart pavilion with various courses inspired by the games (and not like a wimpy Tomorrowland Speedway, where you putter along at the speed of a lawnmower); a Party pavilion with life sized versions of popular mini games; and finally Sports pavilion, where you can play indoor tennis, golf, soccer, and baseball (and every other year, you could do something special for the Summer and Winter Olympics). I'm A goddamn idea machine
Y'know, since its called SUPER Nintendo World, what if we were to design a park themed specifically to the greatest hits of the SNES? * Now obviously there would be plenty of Super Mario to choose from (World, All-Stars, Kart, Yoshi's Island). * Next, just like in Universal, would be a land themed to the Donkey Kong Country trilogy. * Then we'd have a Zelda land based on A Link to the Past. * StarFox would fit the role of the sci-fi Tomorrowland area. * Finally, something for the adults; might be controversial, but I feel its a forgotten franchise that deserves a second look: Killer Instinct Nintendo 64 World! * As in SNES World on the opposite coast, our first land will obviously be dedicated to Mario ( both Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart64) * Since we still need something for teens and above, a shoot 'em up dark ride based on GoldenEye 007 (and not the slow moving crap like Buzz Lightyear or Ant-Man; this needs to feel like a chase scene) * a Legend of Zelda land, this time themed to Ocarina of Time * our centerpiece would be dedicated to Super Smash Bros, with a rotating schedule of nightly battles * a Pokemon land, with attractions based on Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon Snap! * a different Donkey Kong land, this one specifically themed to DK64 * StarFox 64 again serves as the sci-fi land * finally, an often overlooked franchise gets its own area: Banjo-Kazooie
Can't wait for Nintendo World. The How to Train your Dragon area also has my interest but everything else is kind of a dud for me. I feel like universal monsters is so generic today but I'd love to be proved wrong. The hub coaster could be cool, it's like Rip Ride Rocket hopefully it has better theming.
@1:56 To be honest I am looking forward to Donkey Kong Mine Cart coaster and the new “boom coaster” system. Seeing how Universal is using the patented “boom coaster” system for Donkey Kong Mine Cart coaster at Universals Epic Universe. Also listening to this maybe Disney should look into getting new ride systems and look into perfecting the Cantilevered Coaster Concept which the Boom Coaster is system is based on but is a more simplified version of the Cantilevered Coaster. For example they could use it to build a whole new ride and/or revamp the Tomorrowland Speedway to a create a dark ride based on the go karts in Sugar Rush from the movie Wreck It Ralph and/or the cars in Slaughter Race from the movie Ralph Breaks the Internet. ruclips.net/video/TiRv_6PhH4s/видео.html
Hmm, so two Mack rides were added? Obviously only one of them to Epic Universe, but is the other installation going to come to Orlando, or a different Universal resort? Or is that info not available yet?
Haven’t heard anything yet. They may have also meant the Mack Splash Battle boat ride for this park when talking about two more installations! If the Monsters coaster rumor is true, that would make three Mack rides at the park total.
Literally. Althought I personally prefer ones without inversions, I completely agree with this. I get them wanting to put in some family coasters, I do, but a dragon themed coasted with NO inversions?????
Are we still getting the Donkey Kong Mine Cart coaster in Epic Universe? Because as a Nintendo Fan it would be awesome getting that ride because the Donkey Kong series is rumored to return on Switch and not to mention Nintendo is promoting Donkey Kong in Nintendo World! Imagine a awesome new land plus a new Donkey Kong game! The Donkey Kong Minecart represents the levels of the Donkey Kong Country series.
Great fun and informative video, for me the how to train your dragon coaster seems the most fun although the donkey kong one also seems great. Keep up the great work i would love to stay updated about the epic universe. Subscribed :)
I've heard that if they decide to scrap a land it would more than likely be Universal Monsters. I hope this doesn't happen, we need a proper land for The Classic horror icons.
Not a thrill ride person, so it's good to see that I'll be able to ride two of those coasters at least. Looking forward to the Monster section dark ride.
Luigi's Haunted Mansion or Hyrule Temple would be real fun not to mention Pokemon (a steady IP that has endured years same as Mario) tbh i havent even watched a single movie of How to Train your Dragon
Our Family is so excited to see that Universal is building a new Park. We’re planning an amazing vacation to Universal, Islands of Adventure, and now Epic Universe!! Disney who?……lol
I personally believe that it would be quite interesting if they somehow incorporated a Gerstlauer Eurofighter or Infinity model into a land. These rides are unique and aren't seen at all in Florida. They also open up many more possibilities of theming, and can be indoor as well! Don't mind me though, I kind of fell into a slight obsession with vertical drops haha.. Anyways, thanks for the great video! I've been eagerly tracking down any updates, news, or rumors on Epic Universe. ^^
We’ll be covering each of the rides by themselves as new info is found. We did one on the Monsters dark ride recently! ruclips.net/video/1qeuPy5gbrY/видео.html
here's what I need to see at the opening of the Classic Monsters land: 1) Ricou Browning is the Guest of Honor for the Grand Opening; he played the Gill-Man in all three Creature from the Black Lagoon movies (the swimming sequences, anyway); he's also the last living actor to have played one of the Classic Monsters 2) a larger than life statue dedicated to Lon Chaney, Jr.; not as any character, but the man himself. He was in 10 UCM movies, more than any other actor -- five as Larry Talbot, the Wolf Man; once as Frankenstein's Monster; three times as Kharis, the Mummy; and once as Count Dracula (technically his son, but the title was passed down). He's the only actor to have played all of the "Big Four" monsters 3) a smaller statue dedicated to Dwight Frye, to serve as a tribute to the various character actors who played supporting roles across multiple movies; he's most famous as Renfield in "Dracula" and Fritz in "Frankenstein", but he also had an uncredited role as a reporter in "The Invisible Man", and bit parts in four of the Frankenstein sequels (two of which were just uncredited villagers) 4) Franchises and characters that need to be represented: Dracula -- Count Dracula (both Bela Lugosi and John Carradine), Professor van Helsing; Frankenstein -- The Monster (both Boris Karloff and Glenn Strange), Henry Frankenstein, Ygor; The Mummy -- Kharis, Andoheb (Egyptian mystic turned High Priest of Karnak/Arkam and Kharis' handler), Stephen Banning & Babe Jenson (twice defeated Kharis & Andoheb); The Invisible Man -- Geoffrey Radcliffe (I know that Jack Griffin/Claude Rains was the original, but Vincent Price just has a much more recognizable voice); The Wolfman --Larry Talbot, Maleva the gypsy woman; The Creature from the Black Lagoon -- the Gill-Man, Captain Lucas. 5) even though he was overshadowed by Talbot, some recognition should go to Dr. Wilfred Glendon from "Werewolf of London" 6) If the Phantom of the Opera makes an appearance, it should alternate between Lon Chaney, Sr.'s silent black & white version and Claude Rains' talking technicolor version (which was the only UCM film to win any Academy Awards)
I suspect that the racing coaster will be themed to Fast & Furious, so they can finally get rid of the other (critically panned) ride at Universal studios for a Harry Potter expansion.
My ideas for additional future themed areas for Epic Universe: Jurassic World: Includes an actual Camp Cretaceous (including animatronics of Bumpy, Toro, and the Scorpios rex). MonsterVerse: Has a kaiju theme featuring both King Kong and Godzilla. The area includes a Monarch facility area as well as a Hollow Earth area, and the Monarch facility features an animatronic Mothra larva. Cybertron: Based on Transformers, will be similar to the one in Beijing as well as Yomiuriland's (a Japanese theme park) Car Factory area (the area will also include actual fully-automatic transforming animatronics of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee). Will also include elements from the upcoming Rise of the Beasts (featuring transforming animatronics of Optimus Primal and Cheetor).
Also, ideas for accompanying theme music for each areas: Jurassic World: The classic Jurassic Park theme as well as music from Jurassic World MonsterVerse: "Man vs. Beast" from Kong: Skull Island and the themes for Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah from Godzilla: King of the Monsters Cybertron: An arrangement of the classic Transformers theme song as well as the Beast Wars theme
After a Pokemon expansion, I'd like to see some kind a EPCOT style pavilion where you have a type of life sized collection of Wii games (Sports, Play, Fit, Party)
Good idea for a video. I've been worried about the coaster count, though I'm even more worried about variety. We've got THREE launched Mack coasters - counting both the racing coasters individually. Then there's the Donkey Kong thing which will barely even be a coaster. I hope they go through with adding one to Classic Monsters, but another family coaster? This isn't Disney! Get us a REAL coaster! I am excited about the spinning coaster, as long as it's the Xtreme version - Busch Gardens' version is practically spin-free. But I'm not excited about this being in Classic Monsters. It's Classic Monsters, make it a Dracula coaster! Which means flying or wing. The end! The Xtreme would be good for a "spin" around the French Ministry of Magic, since they can't seem to stick to an idea here. Give us that orange thing and those black cat-things and call it a day. Now we need a video about the ride count. It's looking like a shockingly-low number for such a large park. Which makes the loss of a show extremely problematic. Hopefully they wise up and make sure all shows are easily accessed from the hub, or they're going to end up with another Toon Lagoon Theater situation. Who's going to want to walk all the way from the middle of Super Nintendo World or How to Train Your Dragon to the back of Classic Monsters?
Ride count on opening day will likely be similar to IOA when it first opened. And higher than two WDW theme parks right now. Right now we should probably be talking about how USF has like 5 less rides than IOA!
An inverted coaster based off of Dracula would be very cool, or a coaster similar to the old Big Bad Wolf that used to be at Busch Gardens Williams based on the Wolf Man would also be cool

That's what I was thinking! I really hope they have great near misses like dueling dragons did
Words taken out my mouth. They know how much we miss that ride
I miss that one so much! I went in the off season and could get off and get right back on! Somehow I doubt I'll have that luck with this one 🤣
I really hope they still plan on expanding the classic monsters land with the creature from the black lagoon boat ride.
So far it still seems like they will!

This is one GINOOORRRMOUS expansion. I doubt it'll be ready until 2024 at the earliest. I just hope they make the Ministry of Magic a reality and that they add more attractions based on the Mummy.
I like how the dueling coaster almost like pays a tribute to dueling dragons with color and the fact it's a duel coaster
That Donkey Kong coaster might be enough to make a trip worth it. It appears that it's going to be a very unique ride experience.
I'm pumped about Epic Universe it sucks that it won't be clustered tightly like the two current parks but small issue in the grand scheme.
Also, I believe the spinning coaster would be indoors, and would be something similar to Spider-Man Doc Ock's Revenge Spinning Roller Coaster in Dubai. It may be something like a tour of Dracula's castle and you are chased by Dracula as he tries to make you one of his minions. Or something like that
This new Universal theme park looks amazing, the drawings and design of the park looks really beautiful. I can't wait for this park to open! The name of the park is perfect!
I am at Universal Orlando right now and can't wait to try the VelociCoaster, and all new coasters will be greatly enjoyed and appreciated!
Was gonna go to Disney/universal this year but I’m gonna save more and wait until this opens. Can’t wait! Wish they make a Harry Potter experience like Disney with the SW hotel.
Mario could fill an entire park by itself: you've got the main continuity of Super Mario games; the Mario Kart franchise; Mario Party; Mario Sports... The main layout of the park could be the traditional hub & spoke model, branching out to the most popular lands of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Then when it comes time for expansion, you could add a Kart pavilion with various courses inspired by the games (and not like a wimpy Tomorrowland Speedway, where you putter along at the speed of a lawnmower); a Party pavilion with life sized versions of popular mini games; and finally Sports pavilion, where you can play indoor tennis, golf, soccer, and baseball (and every other year, you could do something special for the Summer and Winter Olympics).
I'm A goddamn idea machine
Y'know, since its called SUPER Nintendo World, what if we were to design a park themed specifically to the greatest hits of the SNES?
* Now obviously there would be plenty of Super Mario to choose from (World, All-Stars, Kart, Yoshi's Island).
* Next, just like in Universal, would be a land themed to the Donkey Kong Country trilogy.
* Then we'd have a Zelda land based on A Link to the Past.
* StarFox would fit the role of the sci-fi Tomorrowland area.
* Finally, something for the adults; might be controversial, but I feel its a forgotten franchise that deserves a second look: Killer Instinct
Nintendo 64 World!
* As in SNES World on the opposite coast, our first land will obviously be dedicated to Mario ( both Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart64)
* Since we still need something for teens and above, a shoot 'em up dark ride based on GoldenEye 007 (and not the slow moving crap like Buzz Lightyear or Ant-Man; this needs to feel like a chase scene)
* a Legend of Zelda land, this time themed to Ocarina of Time
* our centerpiece would be dedicated to Super Smash Bros, with a rotating schedule of nightly battles
* a Pokemon land, with attractions based on Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon Snap!
* a different Donkey Kong land, this one specifically themed to DK64
* StarFox 64 again serves as the sci-fi land
* finally, an often overlooked franchise gets its own area: Banjo-Kazooie
I can't wait for this park to be open!!!! its going to be a great park!!!!
This park is going to be a game changer , so excited for it to open , wonder if passes will be as much as Disney tho
The racing coaster looks a bit like the old Dueling Dragons at IOA. It even has similar colours!
Yes!! Loving these EU updates! 💯👏
Can't wait for Nintendo World. The How to Train your Dragon area also has my interest but everything else is kind of a dud for me. I feel like universal monsters is so generic today but I'd love to be proved wrong. The hub coaster could be cool, it's like Rip Ride Rocket hopefully it has better theming.
I love the outdoor coasters but hope they have theming throughout the ride. Universal is amazing with immersions
The one ride that has me most excited is the Big dark ride at the Monsters land.
This video was awesome!!! I’m so excited for all the coasters as Universal has been able to create some amazing ones!
i'm all about the monster world, hope they go all out with it. not enough classic monster representation in the parks anymore
a ride like soarin for how to train ur dragon would be PERFECTT
@1:56 To be honest I am looking forward to Donkey Kong Mine Cart coaster and the new “boom coaster” system. Seeing how Universal is using the patented “boom coaster” system for Donkey Kong Mine Cart coaster at Universals Epic Universe. Also listening to this maybe Disney should look into getting new ride systems and look into perfecting the Cantilevered Coaster Concept which the Boom Coaster is system is based on but is a more simplified version of the Cantilevered Coaster. For example they could use it to build a whole new ride and/or revamp the Tomorrowland Speedway to a create a dark ride based on the go karts in Sugar Rush from the movie Wreck It Ralph and/or the cars in Slaughter Race from the movie Ralph Breaks the Internet. ruclips.net/video/TiRv_6PhH4s/видео.html
Since they're going through with Super Nintendo World, they NEED to have a Mario Kart ride. You can't have one without it!
@@largol33t1 they are. They're getting one like Universal Japan
Keep killin it! The only channel for epic universe!
Park Stop is Your First Stop for Epic Universe News!
At this rate of progress, Universal is sure to beat Disney in the coming years.
Hmm, so two Mack rides were added? Obviously only one of them to Epic Universe, but is the other installation going to come to Orlando, or a different Universal resort? Or is that info not available yet?
Haven’t heard anything yet. They may have also meant the Mack Splash Battle boat ride for this park when talking about two more installations! If the Monsters coaster rumor is true, that would make three Mack rides at the park total.
this park is a disney killer LOOKS SO GOOD
How could a roller coaster themed to training a dragon not be an invert or winged coaster
Literally. Althought I personally prefer ones without inversions, I completely agree with this. I get them wanting to put in some family coasters, I do, but a dragon themed coasted with NO inversions?????
Are we still getting the Donkey Kong Mine Cart coaster in Epic Universe? Because as a Nintendo Fan it would be awesome getting that ride because the Donkey Kong series is rumored to return on Switch and not to mention Nintendo is promoting Donkey Kong in Nintendo World! Imagine a awesome new land plus a new Donkey Kong game! The Donkey Kong Minecart represents the levels of the Donkey Kong Country series.
Classic monsters área, So hyped as a old team member from bettlejuice graveyard. 🤤😵💫🧟♀️🧛♂️
Dueling coaster would have been a good fast and furious coaster
No i expect it to be more like Test Track.
Great fun and informative video, for me the how to train your dragon coaster seems the most fun although the donkey kong one also seems great. Keep up the great work i would love to stay updated about the epic universe. Subscribed :)
idk why everyone hates the screen rides so much I literally love them
I've heard that if they decide to scrap a land it would more than likely be Universal Monsters. I hope this doesn't happen, we need a proper land for The Classic horror icons.
So far construction on the Monsters land’s main attraction matches the plans, so I think it’s safe!
It would be awesome if there is a water ride based off the creature in the black lagoon.
Not a thrill ride person, so it's good to see that I'll be able to ride two of those coasters at least. Looking forward to the Monster section dark ride.
What?! Omg I never thought they would open it in Orlando omg universal is about to be the best
Luigi's Haunted Mansion or Hyrule Temple would be real fun
not to mention Pokemon (a steady IP that has endured years same as Mario)
tbh i havent even watched a single movie of How to Train your Dragon
Don't forget that universal got the license to Pokemon too so I'm hoping there will be a pokemon section
Our Family is so excited to see that Universal is building a new Park. We’re planning an amazing vacation to Universal, Islands of Adventure, and now Epic Universe!!
Disney who?……lol
When you’re gonna be 30 but still gonna be first in line for the How to Train your Dragon land.
We plan on buying annual passes starting this year. Soo excited.
Love these informational videos
I am so excited about the monsters land!
the how to train your dragon coaster better be intamin!
What about the ministry of magic land? Is that getting a coaster too?
Not that we are aware of at this time.
heard concepts for a elevator ride like tower of terror in ministry
hey Alicia long time no see sis thank you for the stream 💗💗💗😊😃
I would love the new Vekoma flying launched coaster to come here.
you guys should collab with rix flix!
They should make a separate entrance for Pottah ppl
There’s going to be a dark ride in Frankenstein’s Castle
I soooo hope this is true,my hubby will DIE
I personally believe that it would be quite interesting if they somehow incorporated a Gerstlauer Eurofighter or Infinity model into a land. These rides are unique and aren't seen at all in Florida. They also open up many more possibilities of theming, and can be indoor as well! Don't mind me though, I kind of fell into a slight obsession with vertical drops haha..
Anyways, thanks for the great video! I've been eagerly tracking down any updates, news, or rumors on Epic Universe. ^^
way too low capacity.
The universals classis horror coaster should have been use dynamic SFX coaster though
Will there be a video on all the dark rides at Epic Universe?
We’ll be covering each of the rides by themselves as new info is found. We did one on the Monsters dark ride recently! ruclips.net/video/1qeuPy5gbrY/видео.html
I hope if they have the dueling coaster it gives a nod to dueling dragons.
here's what I need to see at the opening of the Classic Monsters land:
1) Ricou Browning is the Guest of Honor for the Grand Opening; he played the Gill-Man in all three Creature from the Black Lagoon movies (the swimming sequences, anyway); he's also the last living actor to have played one of the Classic Monsters
2) a larger than life statue dedicated to Lon Chaney, Jr.; not as any character, but the man himself. He was in 10 UCM movies, more than any other actor -- five as Larry Talbot, the Wolf Man; once as Frankenstein's Monster; three times as Kharis, the Mummy; and once as Count Dracula (technically his son, but the title was passed down). He's the only actor to have played all of the "Big Four" monsters
3) a smaller statue dedicated to Dwight Frye, to serve as a tribute to the various character actors who played supporting roles across multiple movies; he's most famous as Renfield in "Dracula" and Fritz in "Frankenstein", but he also had an uncredited role as a reporter in "The Invisible Man", and bit parts in four of the Frankenstein sequels (two of which were just uncredited villagers)
4) Franchises and characters that need to be represented:
Dracula -- Count Dracula (both Bela Lugosi and John Carradine), Professor van Helsing;
Frankenstein -- The Monster (both Boris Karloff and Glenn Strange), Henry Frankenstein, Ygor;
The Mummy -- Kharis, Andoheb (Egyptian mystic turned High Priest of Karnak/Arkam and Kharis' handler), Stephen Banning & Babe Jenson (twice defeated Kharis & Andoheb);
The Invisible Man -- Geoffrey Radcliffe (I know that Jack Griffin/Claude Rains was the original, but Vincent Price just has a much more recognizable voice);
The Wolfman --Larry Talbot, Maleva the gypsy woman;
The Creature from the Black Lagoon -- the Gill-Man, Captain Lucas.
5) even though he was overshadowed by Talbot, some recognition should go to Dr. Wilfred Glendon from "Werewolf of London"
6) If the Phantom of the Opera makes an appearance, it should alternate between Lon Chaney, Sr.'s silent black & white version and Claude Rains' talking technicolor version (which was the only UCM film to win any Academy Awards)
I think they should do a Mack extreme spinner
I suspect that the racing coaster will be themed to Fast & Furious, so they can finally get rid of the other (critically panned) ride at Universal studios for a Harry Potter expansion.
I have ridden every ride at universal studios as well as islands of adventure so a new park with new rides would be great.
I am so freaking excited for this park
My ideas for additional future themed areas for Epic Universe:
Jurassic World: Includes an actual Camp Cretaceous (including animatronics of Bumpy, Toro, and the Scorpios rex).
MonsterVerse: Has a kaiju theme featuring both King Kong and Godzilla. The area includes a Monarch facility area as well as a Hollow Earth area, and the Monarch facility features an animatronic Mothra larva.
Cybertron: Based on Transformers, will be similar to the one in Beijing as well as Yomiuriland's (a Japanese theme park) Car Factory area (the area will also include actual fully-automatic transforming animatronics of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee). Will also include elements from the upcoming Rise of the Beasts (featuring transforming animatronics of Optimus Primal and Cheetor).
Also, ideas for accompanying theme music for each areas:
Jurassic World: The classic Jurassic Park theme as well as music from Jurassic World
MonsterVerse: "Man vs. Beast" from Kong: Skull Island and the themes for Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah from Godzilla: King of the Monsters
Cybertron: An arrangement of the classic Transformers theme song as well as the Beast Wars theme
After a Pokemon expansion, I'd like to see some kind a EPCOT style pavilion where you have a type of life sized collection of Wii games (Sports, Play, Fit, Party)
I'M LATE BUT I'M HERE I WATCH ALL OF THESE!!!!!!!!
Universal is going to blow Disney out of the water!
The new park sounds awesome!
Good idea for a video. I've been worried about the coaster count, though I'm even more worried about variety. We've got THREE launched Mack coasters - counting both the racing coasters individually. Then there's the Donkey Kong thing which will barely even be a coaster. I hope they go through with adding one to Classic Monsters, but another family coaster? This isn't Disney! Get us a REAL coaster!
I am excited about the spinning coaster, as long as it's the Xtreme version - Busch Gardens' version is practically spin-free. But I'm not excited about this being in Classic Monsters. It's Classic Monsters, make it a Dracula coaster! Which means flying or wing. The end! The Xtreme would be good for a "spin" around the French Ministry of Magic, since they can't seem to stick to an idea here. Give us that orange thing and those black cat-things and call it a day.
Now we need a video about the ride count. It's looking like a shockingly-low number for such a large park. Which makes the loss of a show extremely problematic. Hopefully they wise up and make sure all shows are easily accessed from the hub, or they're going to end up with another Toon Lagoon Theater situation. Who's going to want to walk all the way from the middle of Super Nintendo World or How to Train Your Dragon to the back of Classic Monsters?
Ride count on opening day will likely be similar to IOA when it first opened. And higher than two WDW theme parks right now. Right now we should probably be talking about how USF has like 5 less rides than IOA!
An inverted coaster based off of Dracula would be very cool, or a coaster similar to the old Big Bad Wolf that used to be at Busch Gardens Williams based on the Wolf Man would also be cool
