Has any information been leaked about the transport options to EU from CityWalk?

Do you think it will be bus or something else? Should we expect another Harry Potter specific mode of transport between the parks? (If this is even possible)

I have it on good authority from the 3rd cousin 5 times removed of the friend of the roommate of a bus driver it will be submarines and subways

Slingshot! No other park transfers there guest from one park to another like we do.

Nintendo absolutely is the flagship land. That's not even debatable. There's a reason why it was announced years before they started construction on it anywhere, whereas they still haven't even told us what Epic Universe's other lands are. They know Nintendo is the thing people will show up for, and the advertising will certainly reflect that. Will it be the best thing in the park? Maybe, maybe not. But it will be this park's Wizarding World either way, the thing everyone flocks to out of their attachment to the IP.

The one thing that potentially throws a wrench into Epic Universe's hype is that its main draw can be seen elsewhere before the park even opens. Will that keep it from being the park's main draw? No, not at all, but it probably won't see the same numbers it would have had Nintendo not opened elsewhere beforehand.

Also, for anyone who thinks Universal wouldn't advertise around a single attraction...

Behold.

I think it was announced years before anything else because it almost got built in the other park?

It was always slated to open in Japan first. So even if it were set to open in USF as well, it still would have been hyped in advance in a way that none of Epic Universe's other lands have been.

I have no insider knowledge to know if this is happening, but a few years ago Universal patented its own version of a Gondola system. It seems like this would combine a gondola and an autonomous vehicle.
