I'm not entirely convinced by the logic according to which Epic's attendance would come more at the expense of WDW than Universal parks. It seems more likely that those splitting time between both resorts allocate one of their Uni rather than one of their WDW days to Epic, while those who spend their entire time at Uni will presumably now be at Epic on at least one day they would have been in another park. I would similarly expect a new addition at WDW to reshuffle attendance between WDW's parks more than between WDW and Universal.
The last domestic park to open from the big 2 was DCA with the opening act being the Sunshine Hubcap.
Just sayin'
I'm still sticking with the last domestic park to be this ambitious at opening was EPCOT Center in '82.
Key word, "domestic"Not a fair comparison considering the very different budgets those two parks had. Would make more sense to compare to Shanghai Disneyland.
It's definitely the former. If you watch the contained bat in the queue leading up to this area it laughs at one point and while she's talking, if you pay attention to the monitors that show Dracula, he's up to something.In the Monsters Unchained second pre-show, when Victoria says "... that wasn't us." Is she referring to the equipment shutting off - as in Dracula shut it off? Or is she saying that her 2.0 monster getting angry and smashing the equipment and her yelling at him isn't how they normally are?
Yes, it is humorous to ask about it.How's their floor lighting doing?
Unfortunately, Universal had to hire a lot of brand new team members to fill the need at Epic, and it shows. They’re not good and information and implementation of procedures is a mess.
That said, guest service is still an area where Disney absolutely beats Universal. The average Disney CM is pleasant. The average Universal TM is apathetic and rude. There are of course bad Disney CMs and great Universal TMs, but on average, you are more likely to have positive interactions with Disney CMs.
I went 5/4 and I'm glad I did everything (except DK which seemed to only operate like for 10% of the day) but would agree it just seems like they're not ready. The rides are great, never saw a show, food wasn't bad (way way better than what the other UO parks offer) but honestly nothing mind blowing. Maybe Disney had Intel and never panicked and that's why they decided cool kid summer could combat epic lol
