Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

The music for Celestial Park is, dare I say Epic. It is not "background music" it is the "soundtrack" for the land. Very cinematic. The addition of major sub-woofers is game changing.

Is the music in the entry and celestial park an original score or a medley of various scores?

All original, but with themes from each land incorporated into the score near each portal.

How is the atmospheric music?

Good.

Dark Universe's in particular is amazeballs.

Since the Helios functions as the centerpiece, they really should have built something better. It's so bland -- not much better than the Riviera. Even the concept art was significantly nicer.

Yes, it just looks like a hotel tower. Maybe it's unreasonable to expect hotel integrations to meet the level of Hotel Miracosta (although, should it be?), but this is really just a hotel tower with some decorations added to fit the land which is odd considering it serves as the centrepiece.

Isle of Berk music was good, especially on the flying wings coaster.

Someone get Berk off the basketball court. It's like prime LeBron playing against 3rd graders when it comes to music, and well, everything.

Believe me when I say this! Berk is going to be the champion of EU! The Mac and Cheese cones CAN change lives! Nobody is ready! Nobody!!!!

I really want one of those vinyls they are selling of the Dark Universe soundtrack but it appears that I’m going to have to be either very lucky and go the day they restock them or deal with the scalpers

Is "amazeballs" an industry term?

Yes.

Not to mention all the original songs played on the Constellation Carousel. That is one I can’t wait to see at night. It was such a silly ride in the daytime but it’s gonna be so cool after dark.

A lot of you are going to be disappointed when you go to Epic and find the entry portal look/experience nothing like what you’re saying it is.

I dunno. When it was revealed to me, I actually got a little teary eyed - its almost a bit overwhelming at first (and the amount of detail throughout the area is great -- even down to the shop signs with their kinetic energy)

 

[Tha Realest]

While a clear violation of the employees' responsibilities, Disney and Universal's inability and/or unwillingness to deal with these social media personalities continues to be a problem.

I don’t disagree, but it’s a really, really cheap way to signal boost an offering on social media, while also cultivating a cadre of ethically-nimble yes men and women who know to never cross the Mouse and remain on message.

Do we know if Epic is going to be selling CD soundtracks like Disney used to?

Dark Universe has a vinyl

 

[MisterPenguin]

Dark Universe has a vinyl

It'll need to be on a wax cylinder or a 78 rpm record for the Victrola to be thematically correct.

This sounds like the score to Ed Wood he never got to make:

 

[Architectural Guinea Pig]

This sounds like the score to Ed Wood he never got to make:

I was fine with it until the theremin came in. That does not sound Dark Universe at all.

 

[sedati]

I was fine with it until the theremin came in. That does not sound Dark Universe at all.

Gives it more of a 50's sci-fi feel.

I'm not seeing the EPIC Express on Universals site.
