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

Andrew C

You know what's funny?
The closer this park gets to opening the cheaper it looks to me. Just my opinion. No doubt potter and monsters will be
bangers, but the rest are unthemed rollercoasters and large carnival rides.

I’m sure most will love it but most won’t be honest about the value engineering going on here.

Just my 2 cents…I realize others feel different.
You can’t possibly be on one thread defending cars in Frontierland while coming here to bash epic?

I don’t defend cars land at all!
You lost your ability to be objective.

I go to Uni and Disney multiple times a year. I’m honest about what I see at both parks.

Remember the never pandorians. Carsland is the same thing. If Disney executes, people will forget. if they don’t then God help them? Lol

It’s ok to have a fair, honest and balanced approach. Give it a try!

You’re not fooling anyone.

We are absolutely dealing with facts! Word salad. Be well
No, your opinion that Epic Universe is "cheap" or "value engineered" is anything but fact, sorry to say. The only relevant fact that we can refer to is the actual cost of the park, which is not exactly low.

You'd have to have quite the ego to think your opinions somehow translate to objective facts.

We also have no way of knowing if there were any specific cost-saving cuts other than the cancelled attractions. No one who would know has shared that information. The most we can do is speculate.
Just those alone is enough to know. Value engineering is relative. It’s about staying on budget, so it doesn’t matter if your budget is $7 or $7 billion. But yes, more than just the attractions were cut. There was some retail and dining as well. Ambition of attractions too (which is crazy to say given that some remain highly ambitious) depending on how you look at things.

Good morning! Team Members will be able to bring family to Epic Universe from March 17-25, and March 29-31. Team Members will be able to bring 3 Guests (4 total tickets). Registration opens on March 12 at 8:30 AM EST.

If anyone on here has family working at the park, make sure they are aware of this preview opportunity.
Anyways I'm leaving the thread to guess what I'm doing March 20th.

Is it enough? At least one of the cancelled attractions was cancelled because they decided it wasn't a good idea, not because they couldn't afford it. Another was supposedly just postponed to a second phase, but has ended up in limbo as far as I'm aware. Whether or not that could be considered "value engineering" is debatable, but I also think it's largely irrelevant, as people here are mostly criticizing what was actually built based on observations from aerials, as if they know for certain it was supposed to look different (read: more expensive.) Can you give other, specific examples of the park being made less ambitious?

Agreed 100%. The bolded bit is laughable for those of us who have been in Epic because the level of details is off the charts. Aerials aren’t showing what’s going on in the queues, on the rides, in the restaurants, and yes in the bathrooms. This is how I know @Orange is the new Red hasn’t been to Epic yet, and is better off sitting this one out until he has.
