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

[Keladry84]

That's also my most anticipated of all the lands so far.

Mine as well I'm actually surprised at that too as I don't have any particular like or fandom for the dark universe monsters, but I am a major HP nerd and also enjoy Mario. The design of the land really pulled me in, and I'm looking forward to exploring it both by day and by night - I can't say that any of the other lands have done that for me.

Hopefully with the new movie it will make it a bigger hit. For me the IP is not a draw, for that matter the only IP I know is Nintendo and Monsters. Then again IP has never been a draw for me. I don't care about seeing any of these characters come to life or visit their land. Give me a great ride over and of that.

Hopes are not high for the “live action” HtTYD after that Superbowl ad. Looks like they learned only about absolute worst things from the Disney ones and said “we can do that too!”

Man... opening day is close, and all the Bioreconstruct arial photos show a park that is mostly concrete with very little landscaping. I'm particularly disappointed in how barren Celestial Park looks. This was their chance to do an actually natural beautiful area of one of their parks, and they didn't do it.

I do think the trees will grow in due time, but it’s not lost on me that celestial park is basically just an attempt at Greek EPCOT — it’s no more of a park than the new core is

If what I heard about the Berk M&Gs is true, I will never shut up about this land.

That's a good way to put it, unfortunately. Looks an awful lot like a corporate campus with light astronomy theming.

I know that Uni is not Disney, but I just can’t see this or the Flying Dragons sticking around long past the first couple of months. I would love to be wrong as I think this is a fantastic addition to the park but I’m highly skeptical of its longevity

I'm not talking about the flying dragons, more the grounded dragons and how they're handling them and the AAs for one of them.

I'm more hesitant on the longevity of the flying ones, but I think Universal is definitely going to make sure the ones on ground stay as long as possible. The technology is just ripe to make work for future endeavors. One day it's Toothless, next day it's a Triceratops, and the next day it's Eevee.

Sorry if this sounds silly but who’s eevee?

My friends and I are planning a last minute Orlando trip to do muppets one last time in June (RIP ) and I am really hoping we get a chance to visit Epic!!! But with still no information on single day tickets, I’m scared they’re gonna drop with no announcement and then sell out before we get a chance to buy them. I know it’s probably gonna be crazy, but this would be the first time I get to go to a new theme park in the first few weeks it’s open!! Is there any more information/rumors about the single-day ticket drop out there?

Sorry WHAT

This thread has gotten me so excited that I just purchased a premier annual pass, and going over to universal tomorrow to pick it up so I can have a chance at a 1 day epic ticket for this fall! I wonder if the ticket office at universal sells those also, looks like you may have to use the website.

We’ve talked a bit here about access to each land but with Epic being added to the app today, I notice most lands have a secondary entrance bypassing the portal. SNW, for example:
