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

[TalkToEthan]

I think it was likely the outcome of some rather aggressive people on X that praise Epic no matter what and shout down at anyone who disagrees.

The counter to Epic Snuffers.

Or in short:

…… a microcosm of current life in USA

Microcosm of social media everywhere.

Must say that I find it very weird there seems to be an account on X dedicated entirely to criticising Epic Universe.

The pics came from the site that shall not be named so i found some elsewhere

That one, lone X account criticizing EU is to make up for the hundreds of vlogs demonizing Disney.

There's balance in the Force.

Am I the only person who's super curious to see how Epic Universe will turn out during the Halloween and especially Christmas seasons? Did we get any hints on Epic getting some Christmas or Halloween decorations yet?

I read Christmas information on Epic Universe today. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Ministry of Magic and Celestial Park is getting special decorations this year.

Also Epic Universe is supposed to getting New Year's Eve celebrations, but no details came out yet.

Love Mike Rafi

Surprised he didn’t mention there’s likely a better case against Mack (if it’s a vehicle issue).

I think that was covered when he mentioned it was built to Universal standards. And Uni had the opportunity to inspect the coaster before opening and regularly. And after the death, Uni said the coaster operated correctly according to their standards.

If the family or government go after Mack, Mack has an airtight "It wasn't me - Universal said so" case.

Only if Universal acted outside the manufacturer’s specifications.

Reading through this thread since Stardust Racers reopened, it feels like many are still angry that nothing was changed on the coaster in terms of restraints.

Am I at risk if I pass out (faint) maybe from heat.

Nope.

 

[Disstevefan1]

Not angry, surprised.

Many are angry, or at least annoyed, Universal hasn't released details. Am I at risk if I pass out (faint) maybe from heat.

I gotta think if there was folks passing out, they would be coming out of the woodwork just to say they passed out on Stardust.

People temporarily pass out on coasters quite often...usually because of fear.

I would have thought because Stardust, folks would be posting on Social media saying they passed out on it.

The one formerly known as I305, most people either greyed out or blacked out from the first drop.

I just wonder, lets say you are an able bodied person; arms, legs, core all working with normal strength and lets say you are dehydrated from a long fun day at EPIC and lets say your BP get on the low side when you ride on Stardust and happen to pass out.

My question will you get bashed to death like Kevin, or will the body's passive arm, leg, core strength, even when passed out, keep you in the seat?

Sincere question.

Even with that pre-existing condition, unlikely...particularly given that any full black-out would be quite temporary (if at all).

Also, put yourself in that same dehydrated scenario except you're riding a bike or driving a car. What is the outcome then? Bottom line...there are no guarantees in life.

 

[Disstevefan1]

..there are no guarantees in life.

Except death, taxes and Disney price increases at their theme parks......... Sorry I could not resist
