Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

[Streetway Again]

my friend went yesterday and really liked it :3

She said SNW was her personal highlight but also really liked The Untrainable Dragon. Said all lands were beautiful.

I'm excited to go.

Me too, but man, trying to fit it all into one day seems daunting. Idk if I’m getting tix yet because of that, but I do want to go eventually.

Pure speculation on my part but EPIC does not look like a single day park. There is too much to do.

The critique of Celestial needing time for trees to grow against the praise for SNW doesn’t make any sense when you remember SNW is devoid of trees except for some palms in Kong Country.

The critique was that Celestial park felt sprawling and bare, and paths so wide that it felt like there was too much concrete.

Obviously none of that applies to Super Nintendo World which is much more compact, highly decorated and immersive, and, if anything, has received criticism of having paths that are too narrow in USH and Osaka.

The first thing you see at the most popular theme park destination on Planet Earth is a couple cartoon mice greeting you to their magical domain.

John Hench believed that there was something going on at the subconscious level when it comes to the love people have for Mickey and Minnie.

Specifically, the Mickey Mouse shape closely resembles the torso of one’s mother. The thought is that it’s hard-wired into the human brain to seek out that shape in order to survive.

going to be honest dude it sounds like you write marketing fluff

Maybe I missed my calling then. To put it more succinctly, drone footage and a list of attractions doesn’t scratch the surface of the total theme park package people are going to find at Epic.

Celestial also has more work to be done before it’s ready for paying guests. The concept art shows mature trees, which of course Celestial currently does not have, but in the meantime there’s plenty of places to eat, drink, and shop to escape the heat. The pathways need to be able to accommodate all the people moving between worlds and peak guest flows for the rumored nighttime shows.

It's alleviated for me because I have no interest in Potter and mostly care for Berk. Ideally I DO want two days at EU but if I can only get one, I know my priorities, I know my hierarchy of needs when it comes to EU.

I can understand that. For me:
1. I wanna explore all the lands, at least partly. I do agree with your sentiment about ideally wanting stuff.
2. Somewhat unrelated, but The last time i went to EU, hagrids wasnt even open yet, so I have a LOT to experience, and I dont want to feel rushed and stuff, yknow?

I don’t think people appreciate that Luigi’s Minion Blast is a very real possibility.

Well that just ruined my day.

Even I can tell from the aerial imagery what is finished and what is still a work in progress. Celestial Park is nearly complete. As the original review recognized, the trees still have to mature, but characterizing the land as sprawling concrete with lackluster views and sightlines is pointed criticism.

This is just one review though. But, I’ve yet to hear much enthusiasm whatsoever though for Celestial Park. None of the reviews I’ve read from Universal’s team members say much about it.

 

[flynnibus]

He *confirms* Monsters is the best attraction at Epic and maybe even best in the world.

Would you like to review some of his thoughts on Tiana too? lol...

 

[flynnibus]

I think maybe looking at Celestial Park from 800 feet above and the trees not having leaves yet is not giving us a good impression of what it will look like.

Do trees walk around and multiply their planter boxes the closer you get?

I've seen a few comments saying Celestial is not what they expected. I agree, it seems a bit... sparse. Even if the trees grow in, I don't think it will give the park vibes people expected.

I wonder if the sparseness will help when the park is MOBBED with people?

I mean, I’m sure it will be great for crowd control.

 

[Stripes]

I understand the plan is to have people wait in Celestial Park until they are granted virtual queue access into the one of the other four lands.

Celestial Park is the furthest land behind and not complete yet. From recent aerials, it seems that many of the restaurants and venues are still under construction. There are still many trees to be planted and planters to be filled! Still have 75 days to go and they will probably be working on it till the last minute.

 

[TalkToEthan]

Do trees walk around ………

As for grounds I already likened Celestial Park to EPCOT——and EPCOT has a walking tree

 

[TalkToEthan]

And there have been calls for a Lord Of Rings land at Universal

 

[James Alucobond]

There are still many trees to be planted …

In outlying areas, sure. Down the central concourse people are talking about? Nah.
