In the release video from universal creative that they put out yesterday, they said the Frankenstein experiment ride would be the most technologically advanced ride in a theme park and also stated the animatronics in the ride would be the most advanced that had ever been built in any theme park, that ride is going to be earth shattering, Universal seriously is pulling out all the stops for this park, it really is going to be amazing
@@UPNT very true although they had done the patents a few years ago on a “roller coaster type “ KUKA arm so there might be some more fluid motion with this ride and not just a clone of the ride system of Forbidden Journey , I just know they focused on the animatronics in this ride since it was mentioned for a good chunk, it will make the new ones on Tiana’s at Disney look ancient by comparison if what is said is true
Guys...I have a feeling that THIS channel is going to be a HUGE growth driver for you in the next 5 years. On the Disney side, I think is going to severly slow down over there for the next 3-ish years. I think this channel is going to be hot and heavy real soon. Wishing you all the best with this and I can wait to see your coverage.
I definitely agree, I think that they need to get someone on the “universal train” that lives and breathes universal and can understand universal pass holders to run this side because I know Tom’s heart isn’t into universal no matter what they do Disney will always be better without fail, Epic will be all anyone can talk about when it opens, Disney will release a bunch of plans but until rides start being built I am not going to believe a thing lol
@@adamp2384 Aside from Test Track 3.0...Disney is a solid 5 years away from anything significant that can answer Epic. Honestly...is more like 7 years. Epic is going to go crazy duing this time. I also believe Epic will beat Magic Kingdom attendance in 2026. (Its first full year of operation) Yeah...this will be a long drought for Disney....and it's 100% all Burbank's fault.
@@CLIFFLIX for sure it will take the big magic kingdom expansion and addition to really meet any kind of expectations, and by the time that is built I am sure Epic will already be done with and open some expansions
Tom: mine is the nerdiest and the lamest, the live entertainment Me who is excited for the architecture and landscaping: you call THAT nerdy and lame!?
The immersing experience is in my opinion what makes a park worth going to more then once or twice. Once they open epic they need to update usf and ioa to the same standards as epic.
Every time I watch this channel, and the presenter is the person as in this video, I get the inescapable feeling I'm being gaslit 🤣 His tone is very "Well, if this is your kind of thing I guess it's alright...." Like, I get it! You prefer Disney Parks personally, can you report on theme park news without making that so obvious?
I’m excited for Epic Universe & can’t wait when it opens. Disney has just been going down hill with closing classic attractions lately and really disappointing re theming. Also excited for HHN this year as always.
@AdventuringWithAnnie (same Annie that normally does these UPNT stories) recently uploaded a “what’s new” video on her personal channel where she shows a frame cat picture at Mama Luna’s, and sitting on the cat is a woodpecker.
@@Talesoftheokefenokeefan09Maybe in the DreamWorks universe. It’s just a woodpecker. Not blue like Woody. Doesn’t have hands like Woody. Just a regular bird that also happens to be a woodpecker.
I don’t know if a themed “off-the-shelf” coaster indicates a limitless budget, that’s not even the attraction originally intended to be built, but Evermore with a bigger budget vibes for sure!
@@UPNT Well, I dunno, have you seen that Wolfman animatronic they teased? XD They're throwing an awful lot of money at this project.... even if they've had to trim here and there. I had grand hopes for Evermore honestly, but it's run into the same issues I've seen with start up haunted attractions... a grand vision coupled with poor financial decisions. I think Knotts has proven the concept, that an interactive role playing experience can work in a theme park setting, but this will be the first time it's being set up as a a permanent feature rather than a short special event. What I'm hoping is that it proves popular and viable enough that it stays for longer than the honeymoon period without being cut... Like what happened with Batuu....started very immersive but at this point all the story beats and 'living city' stuff is just gone.
Nooo you fell victim to the error in the Universal video. The original doctor's name is Victor Frankenstein, not Henry. Henry was his friend. That's it.
You may love Chainsaw Man. It’s dark, juvenile, but deep in the particular way only anime pulls off. I’d still recommend Demon Slayer or Attack on Titan first though. Also, nice Young Frankenstein reference!
I agree , to have a violinist singing stories about the land and the meet and greets with the monsters is what makes a difference.
Disney is about to get Monster Mashed by Dark Universe!!

It’s just the KUKA arm again, but it should be very good.

Quoting Young Frankenstein is never a bad joke!!!!
Victoria is the great great grandchild. I believe that leaves room for Frederick and Ingas offspring. In my head, it's canon!

The Dark Universe/Classic Monsters area opening in Epic Universe looks very cool! Can’t wait to see it! 😈👹🧟♂️
Tom: mine is the nerdiest and the lamest, the live entertainment
Me who is excited for the architecture and landscaping: you call THAT nerdy and lame!?
I miss Woody Woodpecker’s Kidzone 😭
Young Frankenstein reference, very good Tom!
Great joke!!!
That’s Fronkensteen!
Universal has owned dreamworks for a long time
The immersing experience is in my opinion what makes a park worth going to more then once or twice. Once they open epic they need to update usf and ioa to the same standards as epic.
YAY NEW NIGHTTIME SHOWS!
Tom said this park would bomb hahaha. He's rooting against Epic Universe.
Never said that

hope the kick disneys butt!!
HOW DARE THEY?! MY PIZZA FRIES! NOOOO!
They will still do that during horror nights I am sure
Yeah
Would have been nice if Universal collaborated with Crunchyroll to bring the Cool Japan events to the US.
Why?
I can't wait for dark universe and dragon isle of berk and Harry Potter ministry of magic
I’m excited for Epic Universe & can’t wait when it opens. Disney has just been going down hill with closing classic attractions lately and really disappointing re theming. Also excited for HHN this year as always.
disney better step there game up stop been so cheap and meehh!!
Did they do any Woody Woodpecker’s Kidzone related tributes/references in the Dreamworks area and/or outside of it???
I think I remember seeing in one of the videos someone did that they did have 1 or 2 references to the old area
@@adamp2384 what are the references? Let me guess, a picture featuring Woody Woodpecker, Fievel, and Curious George all together?
@AdventuringWithAnnie (same Annie that normally does these UPNT stories) recently uploaded a “what’s new” video on her personal channel where she shows a frame cat picture at Mama Luna’s, and sitting on the cat is a woodpecker.
@@UmmYeahOk is it Woody?

This announcement actually reminds me of Evermore... except much more professional and with a nearly limitless budget....
I don’t know if a themed “off-the-shelf” coaster indicates a limitless budget, that’s not even the attraction originally intended to be built, but Evermore with a bigger budget vibes for sure!

@@UPNT what was the original plan?
The ride will be groundbreaking.
RIP KIDZONE PIZZA!
20:09 this ride system looks very reminiscent of the type of ride vehicles that was originally hinted at with Avengers Campus Quinjet attraction.
I bet Tom is still going to bag on Universal and continue to act unimpressed.
I don’t act anything I don’t feel
Nooo you fell victim to the error in the Universal video.
The original doctor's name is Victor Frankenstein, not Henry.
Henry was his friend. That's it.
Henry was the name they used in the original 1931 film. That's why Universal went with that.
How long will the preview centre be there for
I would assume until the park opens.
disney stop the nonsense and make the villians land alteady with a fantasia style atraction!!
You may love Chainsaw Man. It’s dark, juvenile, but deep in the particular way only anime pulls off. I’d still recommend Demon Slayer or Attack on Titan first though. Also, nice Young Frankenstein reference!
For crying out load, it's been a month since a UPNews Today. What gives?
