Yoshi is, by far, the weakest ride in the whole park. There are some amazing areas and attractions at Epic. But Yoshi's is Six Flags level. Also, I wouldn't say that this is a classic indoor dark ride. It reminds me more of the kiddie train at Knott's that takes you past outdoor dioramas of Peanuts characters. That there were no classic indoor dark rides for families, especially in Berk, is sorta a mind-blowing oversight IMO.
It is Epic Universe, not toddler world. This isn't the MK and they aren't Disney. Nor should they try to be. If someone wants chill, family dark ride experiences, this isn't the park for them.
Perhaps that should be the new inscription over the main portal into the park?
Yeah I mean good point, what do people expect? To not pay $100 to slow roast like a raisin over a slow ride with mostly just seeing what you can already seen in the land? People are just unreasonable!
To all who enter this park, please note that we do cannot cater to everyone. We cater to only the EPIC people. People who like FAST rollercoasters and being internally cooked to a crisp 425 internal. If you don't like that, then SCRAM. (we can't handle more than 15k people a day anyway)
It's for younger Millenials and Gen Z definitely.
There are many strong elements to Epic, but this is not a family park.
It's not a family park yet Universal advertised 2/4 of the lands with children as the main actors showing them off?
I’d think it differs from land to land and is each portal is mostly geared towards fans of the IPs they’re based on. Now there are age demographics too. Please note that none of the following is intended to be offensive or genalizing. These are guesses about how universal sees it. Super Nintendo world is geared toward kids teenagersand adults who are nostalgic for the brand. Harry Potter is geared towards millennials and to a lesser extent whole families. How to train your dragon apparently has a decent sized gen z fan base but more realistically it’s supposed to be the parks Toy Story land with its ride lineup. Dark universe is the tricky one. I would imagine it’s mostly geared towards goths and younger monsters fans. I imagine that it’s going to be the most popular with passholders because it’s almost an original ip land which passholders tend to like.
A family with young children could easily spend all day in SNW and Berk alone. It is most definitely a family oriented park, just like every other park in Orlando.
It technically is a family park. Other than Monsters, Stardust Racers and Dragon Racers Rally, every attraction is 40" and above.
There is something to consider, the other major Orlando Parks have around for a long time, and Epic Universe had its grand opening last month. Also Google Reviews didn't get its start before 2007.
