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

That's how it is at Hagrid too, but you don't notice due to the trees in foreground. The access road is emergency route and they can't have a wall blocking paths for firetrucks to get through. Even if the wall were on the inside of the backstage road, you'd still need several giant openings for vehicles anyway. At least this way the wall can be solid all the way down.

Emergency access is not really an issue. You can have gates on emergency access routes like they have just to get to the perimeter roads and where the access roads enter the guest areas. You could also just place the wall along the various pads so you wouldn’t even need gates. Being along the outside just offers consistency and flexibility for the space inside the perimeter road.

I think this proposed wall may also be to block some of the smells from drifting to the park. Currently, parts of Epic sometimes smell the way DAK used to before modifications were made to that nearby water treatment plant.
