Alicia Stella reported the permits for a sound wall all along the side of the property against the sewage treatment plant. I believe it was indicated at 17’ tall. I would imagine it will help obscure the view, which should make a lot of people on here happy. I think she said it is around $5...

I think a classic dark ride version of a Ghostbusters attraction where the rider is portrayed as a ghost and they keep trying to trap us could be really fun.

Sadly, Galaxies Edge uses a large amount of space, and misses the mark. It’s ignores the biggest drivers of Star Wars and key original characters. As a person that loves the original trilogy but hasn’t invested in the newer offerings, it’s a waste. It may be cool for younger fans, that didn’t...

The average reviews of 205 reviews. Any other theme park on that same site has more than 10k if not over 25k reviews. So… it’s the first year of a new park.

I think it would be interesting to use the bridge to the land of the dead to be a lift or incline that brings you up to the land of the dead, with a small drop later on in the ride that returns you to the land of the living.

I think Universal is playing the long game with Epic. Why open with a nighttime spectacular when you can add it later to give people something new. I also think they knew the park would open with some known lineup issues and some unknown issues. Get feedback from guests then use feedback to...

I think this project has the unique opportunity to reopen the front courtyard before the door coaster area is ready. You’d get to bring the restaurants back sooner and a show, and probably some form of meet and greet. Would be good for customers if they did that, plus it might have the added...

I think there is a disconnect where fans try and equate a full immersive environment to equal a more enjoyable visit or more excitement. I have been to SWGE and it is very immersive, however, it falls short in so many ways that have little or nothing to do with immersion. If they would throw...

In the discussions in our household, Epic will drive our reason to visit Orlando. We will likely add a day to our planned Universal days, and decrease a day from our WDW days. Part of that is our personal preference for the California parks, and the general feeling that WDW has really become the...

I view this as no different from previews in the theater world. No reviewers/critics, and audiences know they aren’t getting the finished/final product. I see this as Universal trying to gain knowledge from having visitors (an audience) and seeing their reactions. The same reason and goal of...

I’m really wondering what the hours will be at Epic. I feel like this has been designed to be Uni’s night time park - similar to how EPCOT functions at WDW. With regular nighttime shows, it would really encourage paying for park hopping tickets, and would really change the mix for Uni. It might...

I’ve watched multiple first day visits and posts. IMHO this: (1) looks like a good value for your money; (2) has a very consistent space theme of a level consistent with the price being paid; and (3) is more interesting and affordable than any new rooms at WDW - which are DVC. Will consider...

Cause Disney has never done anything cheap or that ruins the illusion….

I think most posters on here are missing the point of how Nintendo has set up these lands. I think of them more like traditional fantasyland rides that are accessible to a wide variety of audiences. As someone who doesn’t enjoy coasters, and who has many family that struggle with motion...

I would close it for the typical refurb, with no intention of reopening it. Work on donating the show to the Smithsonian or something in D.C., Philadelphia, or Boston. Pay to move it, donate some $$$, make a big splash about celebrating American history where it happened. While doing that I’d...
