Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

Focal point does not mean only thing in the ad.
They delayed Mario Land to move it to the new park to make it a flagship land. It will be a major part of the advertising.

It is not the flagship land.....any more than guardians is epcots flagship ride.... or I guess a better comparison would be Harry Potter being the flagship at the current uni parks....however we have yet to see if Nintendo has the same strict rules WB does with show and quality. The monsters land,Nintendo, potter I think will be the focal point. But again I feel like most focused advertising will be park centric. Not land or ride centric.
Yeah.... It's the flagship land.
A generic monsters land and HTTYD aren't going to get put above Nintendo in advertising. It just isn't happening. And a third Potter land that sounds like went through an identity crisis will get some play, but it's still not getting more ad space than Nintendo. At most it'll be even. It's not like its Hogwarts or Diagon.
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 agree with that Nintendo will dominate the adverts disproportionately. Potter only because it’s divided by ‘three’.
It will be interesting because of course it already exists in two parks by the time Epic roles around and neither really would be considered the flagship land of either.
I agree that Monsters might prove to be the non-marketing flagship. Most of the marketing I’m sure will centre on clips of the four IP and people on a coaster. But in terms of breakouts, Nintendo will get that.

HUGE ride just got green lit, if it stays as proposed it will be a true game changer in the industry but that's a big if. All I can say at this time and will offer nothing more without compromising friends. Movie IP.
People will say I'm trolling of course but my Uni info has been pretty much spot on. You be the judge.
Jimmy Thick- Off to sleep for another 6 months.

Without giving anything away...is it an attraction that was already mentioned in one of Alicia's videos as a definite or an additional ride that was on/off the table?

Nintendo and Harry Potter.
Nintendo is new and shinny but HP will show Disney that universal created the extra-inmersive lands first and will try to keep the crown on that area.
How to train your dragon is a really big IP but I guess it will be kid centric but, at the same time there was a rumour of a dueling roller coaster. Who knows...

I believe there is a coaster in HTTYD area and the racing/dueling coaster is between HTTYD and the expantion plot is this correct @tommyhawkins
That's correct.

So the dueling coaster is not a HtTYD themed...
maybe they copy disney of getting a top tier atraction from a almost forgoten IP (Tron) and they like how Disney managed to copy a ride from abroad and they bring the Battlestar Galactica Dueling roller coaster from Universal Singapore

The dueling coaster and the carousel are the only rumored attractions to be IP free as they will be placed in what is rumored to be a celestial/space-themed hub.
