    Epic Universe is going to absolutely blow every other park out of the water. Right now when you think about immaculately themed lands that truly take you to a different place, the list is pretty short. I can think of 5 the United States that make the cut - Diagon Alley in Universal Studios Florida, Hogsmeade in Universal's Islands of Adventure, Super Mario World at Universal Studios Hollywood, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Hollywood Studios and Disneyland, and Pandora at Animal Kingdom. Notably this is 1 ultra-themed land per park. At Epic Universe we’ll have 5 lands in 1 park with top tier theming. Words cannot express how excited I am!

    • @bb5242
      @bb5242 Před měsícem +4

      Their theming is good, but IoA and USO both felt rather challenged in terms of upkeep on many if the rides. Veloci oaster was worth it, not much else in terms of rides. The prices have gone crazy.

    I know a lot of work has been done, but I do wonder if Epic will be ready by Summer 2025. I'd rather they get everything right though before opening and it's obvious they are making sure things are going to be safe.

    I always look forward to these uploads, really exciting how the pace of things is quickening as scaffolding is coming down, more things are being painted, and what was once a vast swath of dirt is breaking up into smaller islands of dirt and ultimately disappear entirely. It seems that they're trying to finish most of the outdoor work before the brutal Florida summer really hits, and workers begin the interior work.
    It's been a fun multi-year ride watching the development of Epic Universe, but I am curious how this channel is going to with the updates at the later half of this year in between when the park looks "complete" from the outside, and up until opening day. The vast majority of work will have shifted indoors by then where unfortunately we can't see into from aerial drone filming. Watching these videos are really fun but also have spoiled me to a lot of what to expect from it. Those interior areas I mentioned earlier, the silver lining is that I'm going to let that surprise me, gotta leave some element of surprise and wonder!
