Great video! Any idea if there will be some sort of mode of transportation from Epic Universe to Universal studios/Islands of Adventure? Like how the Hogwarts express will take guests to and from IOA/US?
@@mzkhilari So far, only dedicated bus lanes down the newly extended Kirkman Rd have been planned for transportation between the two resorts.
@@ThemeParkStop if this new ride coming to Epic Universe then what is going to replace Fear Factor live over at Universal Studios Florida my Idea to replace fear factor live is a dark ride attraction based on the Five Nights’s At Freddy’s game franchise
@KevonLeKevin what do you mean
@KevonLeKevin is just Five Night’s at Freddy’s is one of these franchises that Universal need to use because Disney is well popular with Star Wars and Marvel
Absolutely wild that Universal was able to make the SCOOP vehicle for a 1999 ride. Those vehicles still feel so amazing during the two rides in Orlando.
And with the no 3D, wider viewing angle of Jurassic World Adventure, with large scale animatronics, in Beijing, they’re only now just starting to utilize it in new ways.
@@ThemeParkStop for sure, that ride looks incredible! On my bucket list, though idk when I'll ever make it to Beijing 🤔
inst the SCOOP just a glorified EMV from Disney (1995)
I wish we could get the great hall as a dining experience 😍
This aged well, they’re doing a great hall restaurant!!!
@@davidarrington4144 omg!!! I haven’t visited in 4 years, but I’d make a trip if this happens!🤗
The Scoop vehicle and the Kuka Arm are Universal’s greatest ride innovations ever. Great to see that they’re being used in the new park!
The monsters kuka arm is like something from my dreams
The other two Harry Potter lands are full of merch areas. This will be interesting because I can’t imagine putting merch inside the ministry
What? You can't imagine a T-Shirt stand in the middle of the atrium?
Considering that the upper reaches of the British Ministry Floo Hub are allegedly the main gateway to Magical Britain for the rest of the Wizarding World, and that the rest of it is to service the main venue of executive governance for Magical Britain, according to lore, it stands to reason that Wizarding Britain would regard it like a major underground station or an airport.
As there are in most major airports such things as bookstores, quick service restaurants, coffee shops, duty-free stores, and even clothing venues, it would be perfectly in character for Universal Creative to put some of those in this area, too.
I noticed the behind the scenes book showed small cafes and such inside the atrium area so employees of the Ministry can pick up coffee and tea on their way to work, so they could work in a shop inside there if they wanted to. Even if not, there will be several Parisian streets at the front of the new land, leading to the rides at the back, and those will contain retails locations and dining.
They turned Filtch's office into a merch store lol...they will fit them in anywhere...
Lol oh don’t worry there will most likely be a ton of places to spend your money in thus area.
It would be interesting to see an animatronic zoo for Fantastic Beasts. With the entrance being Newt’s suitcase and going underground
I’d literally spend all day there 😅 I personally feel like the fantastic beasts side of the franchise is truly untapped potential (despite the quality of the movies/books). They wouldn’t have to settle for just an animatronic zoo either. Themed rides and trails/attractions through say, the forbidden forest would be amazing. There are forbidden forest experience trails that I’ve been to, and even though it’s obv working on a much smaller budget than the parks, it was still extremely fun and enjoyable
The trial could be a waiting room in the queue. Everyone sits in the room for the trial with actors, then when she escapes we have to evacuate using the elevators and then the ride begins.
That would be perfection.
Umbridge, “I swear to you, I didn’t mean the Muggle-borns any harm.”
Harry, “(Fake cough) Bulls!t!”
That’s basically what the original idea was except you were already in the ride watching it. Would be sort of anticlimactic to watch the escape then have to spend 15 minutes getting everyone buckled into the ride
@@joeross6540 Depends how they do it I think. There’s some attraction with a mid scenario in the queue. This one would just be more intense. Then for the rest of the queue you have alarms sound and people running around.
Man when you ride on a ride it must be a complete different experience for you knowing how all the moving parts really work
I feel like I even enjoy it more! It’s fascinating how these things work!
@@ThemeParkStop Every time I ride something at Universal or other parks, I find myself trying to see as many of the behind the scenes and technical parts as I can... it's SUPER interesting
The wait for Epic Universe is killing me! If we’re getting everything promised, it could very well be the best theme park in Orlando when it opens.
And will have its deserved nicknamed "The Disney Killer"
As much as I'll miss that trackless dark ride potential, I do think utilizing the vehicles from Spider-Man would be a great call, if true. It really is a great ride system & has so much potential
I think this would be a good fit at USF because they already have the London waterfront. But I can understand that their is limited space. It just seems a bit strange to be going to the British ministry when you were in Paris. I am sure universal will ace it though and Disney’s going to actually have to compete again.
i think the only thing that will make disney step up their quality is seeing an attendance decrease. as long as they’re making money they will suffer bob chaepek and his cash grab policies. meanwhile universal will continue to out perform and gain more customers
Love the constant news about this park thanks to you 😁 thank for doing this
They need to find a way to incorporate this at USF - it makes more sense when they already have an area there that's themed to London and Diagon Alley, as opposed to situating a British Ministry in another country! It would also solve the problem of Diagon Alley lacking a second attraction (and the park as a whole having a weaker slate of attractions). This could be the boost in the arm USF needs. Keep Epic Universe's Wizarding World themed to Paris and the Fantastic Beasts franchise.
The USF park needs a couple boosts in the arm (moving walkway attractions aside...). Only going to be more glaring once this new park opens.
Universal has probably been looking at streaming data from the pandemic and concluded that Order of the Phoenix and Deathly Hallows Part I are much more popular than the two Fantastic Beasts movies. So they're hedging their bets in case Secrets of Dumbledore underperforms. I'd expect something like $150M domestic and $500M worldwide to be the tipping point metrics. If "Dumbledore" outperforms that, then the Scoop concept can be re-dressed as a Fantastic Beasts ride in 1920s Paris, and the theater show can focus on the resistance against Grindelwald.
Nah the Fantastic Beast movies are pretty bad and Universal is listening to the flack Disney got for making galaxy's edge based on the sequels. If it weren't for ROTR being as technically advanced and as good of a ride as it is, no one would care about galaxy's edge.
I think basing à land with the Fantastic Beast would be a mistake. They haven’t done that well at the box office and don’t have the same nostalgia factor that the original film have.
In USF they should just retheme F&F to the Knight Bus and extend the Wizarding World through that.
@@PhxSml I think everyone agrees there, but they just built F&F, so they're not gonna change it that quickly... I also think that it's important that they don't let Harry Potter overtake too much of the existing park. Yes it's a popular IP, and they absolutely should expand, but they also should make sure that they still have a variety of attractions and things to do
God, it makes no sense to have this attraction in EU as opposed to in Studios. They already have London in Studios, and the space where Fear Factor is is HUGE. Are we going to walk around in France and then arrive at the British ministry of magic somehow? Doesn't really make any sense...
i agree… expand the london area!! there is plenty of space. also MIB might be next to go within the next 10 years or so, meaning they could even wait longer and expand it when MIB closes if they need more space
Agreed take the fear factor area and expand!!!!!
This actually sounds awesome as long as they don't rely on screens. Kinda wish they'd put it in USF since it's really lacking in non screen rides but this works as well. Also sounds way better than that vr broomstick idea
With that kind of ride vehicle it'd have to have some kind of screen
I mean it's gonna be in Florida
I really hope they give the Ministry-elevator ride more of a thrilling concept (like Tower of Terror). I love a highly themed drop tower attraction, there’s just so much room for potential. I’d still prefer to see the British ministry in Universal Studios as well, for the sake of consistency since we already have London over there (plus Studios is really lacking when it comes to exciting rides, they need something good over there).
But then they'd be accused (and rightly so) of copying a 27 year old ride. As to USF real estate, what comes down to put in the new attraction?
@@FIREBRAND38 it wouldn’t be copying ToT at all. If they make them like the elevators in HP then the ridecar should move horizontally as well as vertically. Gives a lot more potential for variation than ToT has. The only thing it would have in common is that it’s an elevator theme. As far as what would come down in USF, the Fear Factor stadium is just wasted space now. And it’s right next to Diagon Alley/London, making it the perfect spot for a London/Ministry of Magic expansion.
I’m surprised universal has not jumped on making a Harry Potter themed resort using the 4 houses as room themes.
A trackless Harry Potter ride/dark ride is exactly what Universal needs. They need stuff for younger audiences too remember. Who would say no to a more detailed Harry Potter ride than ever?!
I would
They could at least have robotic spiders for kids to ride in a miniature forest with Hagrid's hut.
I mean. They already have the Harry Potter dark ride. And epic universe has two lands specifically aimed for kids. They're doing a great job
That was the problem when I was there earlier this year between the two parks there is less then a handful of rides for children under 42" tall
Ngl the hogworts ride freaked me out a little
I have mixed feelings about this. I was hoping for more thrills in this ride, the opportunity to see one of the best scenes in the franchise realized (the only one he ever feared), and really cool physical sets. I feel like the trackless ride should have been the way to go. Especially to go through the department of mysteries. However, I HOPE my hesitation are obliterated with an amazing attraction when it opens.
Please give us department of mysteries, a beautiful atrium, and the best wizard battle.
I'm excited for Epic Universe. I just hope Universal is taking a good look at the mistakes Disney is making. I already lost Disney, I don't want to lose Universal as well.
Yeah, also universal gold passes (in Hollywood) are so much cheaper than Disney annual pass
Mistakes? Lost you? Tf... You are sounding like a spoiled rich kid always complaining about every little detail of everything. We just got back from Disney world and we LOVED IT! what didn't you like??
3:40 love hearing Alecia trying not to laugh
I tried saying that line two more times, but this was the only take I actually said the words correctly, so the laugh stayed in!
I cant wait for this park to open up! The rides so far seem like they're going to be incredibly epic.
Yeah it seems like a EPIC UNIVERSE
I’ll leave
I love this channel. I relish the details and it gives me something to look forward to.
This all sounds incredible. Nice job breaking it down!
Okay can Universal get the theme park rights to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and use this ride system for a Wonkavator ride?
That be sweet
As far as the show area goes, how about a deatheater vs Dumbladore's Army epic battle like the movie -- do it like Bourne Stuntacular -- now THAT would be EPIC!
Don't mind me, just taking notes... 😉😁
I just can't wrap my head around a Birtish MOM attraction in the HP timeline coexisting in the same land as 1920s FB Paris.
I am going to Universal for the first time this summer, and I am so excited to see not only the parks but also the new Epic Park!
The new park is not on the same area of land. It's down the street and just a bunch of nothing right now but have fun. You're going to have a great time
You’re going to love it!! So much more relaxing than a Disney trip. Have fun!!
All of them sound awesome! Too bad complex trackless ride systems are struggling rn though
I wonder if Epic Universe is going to be a great and awesome theme park that Universal Orlando Resort announced back in August 2019? It's totally going to be different than the other Universal Parks around the world. This will take this to a whole other level.
Hopefully they’ll put two big time attractions in the same area. That way hopefully it would cut down on the wait times a little bit. Thank you for your content and your info.
If anything it'll do the opposite and turn the area into a Hogsmeade situation. Hogsmeade despite it's size is immensely crowded all of the time since there are three rides located there. Contrast that to Diagon alley, which is most of the time even in the summer not crowded and spacious with only one ride drawing crowds the surrounding area is more open and more immersive.
here's some ideas for Harry Potter rides and attractions they should consider in the future
* Azkaban rollercoaster
* a Quidditch simulator show where you sit in an auditorium that's supposed to look like you're sitting outside in the stands and big screen is supposed to show the Quidditch pitch
* Shrieking Shack ride
* Chamber of Secrets ride
* Malfoy manor ride
they should totally make a quidditch match show like bourne!!!
Universals the new Disney.
Their rides and theming recently are incredible
Disney has incredible rides? LOL The only thing they have are outdated rides created 20+yrs ago.
once these two new coasters open in disney (tron and guardians) we will know who the real boss is imo. if these coasters aren’t cool then disney has failed at making thrilling rides completely
@@ducktails1695 Rise of the Resistance, Flight of Passage, Smuggler's Run, Slinky Dog Dash, Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train etc. are from 20+ years ago? This is news to me.
@@BatMaul Might as well be
Not sure i would describe it as "incredible". As much as I love Universal I think they lack "incredible" theming.. especially because they are considered a theme park. There are a lot of areas that just seem halfdone and not thought out. We can see backstage areas, and visible track that has nothing to do with the story... The theme literally disappears when you can stand in the Wizarding World and see Jurassic park and a dino-rollercoaster fly by. the food offerings are hardly themed and are horrible. It often feels like an incredible amusement park, instead of a theme park. Disney is WAY better at theming: rides, food, characters, lands etc. although they are starting to disappoint in the guest experience of the parks. Pandora and Batuu are incredible, and nothing at Universal Studios can compare. Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade are great, but they are still just "buildings"... not that impressive compared to flying mountains and glowing plants. I am really hoping Epic Universe will save the Universal Parks, cause Islands of Adventure and Universal are honestly quite bad.
Another great video.. I am very excited for this new park and the previous Harry Potter lands are so well done I can’t wait to see how this one turns out..
I really hope they made an actual thrilling dark ride tower of terror ish would be awesome
i think the screen ideas would be cool but i feel a tower of terror like attraction would be crazy even though it’s highly unlikely it would definitely be one of the top attractions at universal
Honestly, you can just keep showing these concept art shots and I'll keep watching.
Great vid! Although the background music is too loud :(
The Ministry should be an expansion to the existing Diagon Alley section!
the issue with that is space... the fear factor live stage doesn't have a whole lot of room for a brand new area, and especially not room for an attraction like the one they're planning for Epic Universe
@@fernisaperson They could get rid of MIB, then they would have more space.
@@Lil_Angry_Bitch I’d love to see a different MIB attraction for the Hollywood section so that ride could be moved elsewhere to make space for a new Ministry section!
You are awesome Alesha keep up the good work
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Can’t wait for this 😘❤️🏴
I NEEDED MY EPIC UNIVERSE THANK YOU!!!
Random: I can’t believe that a quarter of their park is How To Train Your Dragon. That is already so old and not a really big deal. It doesn’t belong there and its not a very huge or timeless franchise. What were they thinking? I bet this doesn’t go through
i think it will do well mostly because dragons are cool. sorta like how Jurassic park will always be appealing simply because dinosaurs are cool. obviously jurassic park has popular movies too, but my point still stands
So many possibilities!
If only the Fantastic Beasts movies were good-(maybe third times the charm)-then we could have huge animatronic creatures.
With a lot of people boycotting Disney it would be smart of Universal to add Johnny Depp’s character here, bringing more customers.
I wish the park was themed around the main atrium of the ministry
Quick question, will the ride still exclusively move up and down just with a new vehicle or will it move around the building as well like Spider-Man or Transformers? Great job as always with the video!
Here’s everything thing we think we know, have heard rumours about, hearsay, our own imagination, best guesses based on filed patents and what we think would be cool to include in this video, about the ministry of magic ride. Lol great video 😀😀😀😀
With Harry and Friends all grown up , I would love to see some Fantastic Beasts in the Ministry Of Magic side and adding Newt , Nifflers and a Carrusel with all different Beasts would be amazing!!
We need an update on this!!
This is crazy! I want to go back so bad but I think I’m planning to wait until 2025 when the land is opened! Yes it’s a long wait, but it gives my wife and I more than enough time to save for an extravagant universal/ epic universe vacation :)
Hopefully by then Covid shouldn't be that much of an issue ...... God Willing.
I’m excited but everything on that park map looks spaced out and isolated. Hope they find a way to make the flow and pacing of the park right
Would rather see the Scoop concept used for a Fantastic Beasts ride at EU, and the compact elevator concept (themed to the Order of the Phoenix battle) replacing Fear Factor at USF. That'll require Secrets of Dumbledore to Exceed Expectations though, so we'll see how that stands in about a month.
It bombed and now there are rumors of the Fantastic Beasts concept being replaced with more classic Harry Potter stuff. Kinda disappointed because while I don't like the Fantastic Beasts movies I would love to visit a 1920s-themed land
an interactive harry potter or fantastic beasts ride would be amazing!!!
I like the elevator and the changing scenes concept, interested to see what they do with that. I'm hoping for some physical sets that can be shifted around and enhanced with projections for changing scenes, similar to the finale of Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway
Just occurred to me that Universal has the rights to David S. Pumpkins.
This thought did not escape me while reviewing the patent information.
Amazing! I want this: 💀🎃💀
Thanks mom for another great video
You’re welcome, son
thank u for the video
I have such a good idea for a ride. death eaters in a dark room have their wands with lumps guiding us to our seats on the ride and in a dark mystery room like maybe the prophecy room or something of the sorta and the music would be "another story" from film 5.
THIS REALLY SOUNDS FANTASTIC!!! :-O
Nice Ministry of Magic sound so fun!
All that land, should of built LIFE SIZED Hogwarts castle, complete with dining hall, 1000s of talking paintings, common rooms, secret passageways, moving staircases, Forbidden forest, EVERYTHING
9:04-9:20 you're talking my language especially animatronics and sets
I love the elevator ride idea!!
I know that the Ministry of Magic is not an appropriate setting for them to appear, but I really want a comedy attraction that involves the Weasley twins.
the ride sounds sick and i love the story line!
I was not expecting an extension of the wizarding world, so chuffed about that!
I’d imagine those Spider-Man ride vehicles can probably spin 180 degrees, which would allow even more “hallways everywhere!” effects.
This needs to be in Universal Hollywood
A Fantastic Beasts ride where you get to experience the Dumbledore/Grindelwald duel in all its epic glory is the attraction I hope to see. The entire movie franchise is supposed to be leading up to it anyway.
no offense, but i hope you’re wrong about it being a ride based in an elevator. that just doesn’t seem too thrilling to me. i’d much rather them have a ride that takes us on a journey through the ministry as harry and the gang trying to find sirius in the department of mysteries, only to find out they’ve been tricked. then we get to see the aurors vs death eaters and ultimately dumbledore vs voldemort!
animatronics and real sets please!!
Hmm I don't know... Your elevator pitch (pun intended) sounds a bit small for such a big ride. To me it sounds more like it could be the second smaller ride.
Are there any hints or possibly of transportation (other than the shuttles) to and from the Main parks/City Walk and Epic Universe.
So far, only dedicated bus lanes along the extended Kirkman Rd connecting the two resorts.
ok but like I know this video is supposed to be all about the new harry potter area, but I still can‘t get over the fact tHAT NO ONE WAS GONNA TELL ME THERE‘S GONNA BE A HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON AREA????? THOSE MOVIES AND BOOKS WERE MY CHILDHOOD
(also yes, I don‘t stay up to date with theme park stuff so I didn‘t know about any of these plans until I watched this video)
Check out the Epic Universe News playlist on the channel for more coverage of all the lands!
I feel like they need some C and D tickets. Rides look great but king of worried there won’t be enough like the disney parks.
I like your information. I like your content. And I like your voice. Thank you for the video.
Thank you!
@@ThemeParkStop 👍🏾🙏🏾
I wish they would put in St. Mungos. I feel like people who read the books are the only ones who know about it.
Cool i am coming in july in Florida
Dang.. I was down for the broomstick ride lol
Here's a theory of the second attraction. Maybe the second Harry Potter attraction is supposed to be a second E-Ticket attraction like Rise of the Resistance was and it's going to be a roller coaster themed to Grindelwald.
It makes no sense to have the Ministry in Epic Universe, London is in USF, so keep the ministry there, the land that would be cleared to create the ministry from Fear Factor would be plenty big enough, especially for a Tower of Terror style ride or a tall enclosed coaster, or a mixture of both. I remember seeing a prototype design a couple of years back that Universal applied a patent for, featuring a carriage on wheels that turned into a cable car, maybe this is the transport method of going between London and Epic Universe. Exciting times!
I’m so sorry I accidentally pushed the dislike button instead of the like! I promise I think you do a wonderful job and am grateful you are keeping my desire to visit Orlando with my kids alive!
So glad to hear you're enjoying the videos!
I feel they need a tube train to connect Kings Cross into central London. Linking the three parks up.
Won't happen, but it would be cool!
Universal needs more rides and activities that cater to all body types and sizes. A dark ride that’s an Omni mover would be awesome
Amazing technology.
I like the lift idea, I don't see the timeline making sense, uk Ministery of Magic is not featured in Fantastic Beasts, the French one is, not so sure on the scoop vehicles, because a lot of universal rides have a simulator type motion to them, I have a feeling the ride could be more frightening than other wizarding world rides, if you got to meet an Obscurel that would be terrifyingly good.
I like to think they killed the VR idea after reading the lack of enthusiasm in Alicia's comment sections! She's THAT important!
Things seem under control on the British side of things, yet still nothing about the French side. Won't it be weird if this land opens with a French theme and two British attractions? (Hey, Universal... Roller coaster in the French Ministry! Easy peasy!)
i mean...disney for galaxys edge really dove head first into making scanning crates a really big and important thing...it would only make sense that universal would have a ride with the story centered around a trial in a courtroom.....lolz....
Thanks.
sounds like we’re getting the best of both worlds
What if the ride focus of time travel aka a Harry Potter and fantastic beasts crossover ride?
This better not be an IP disgused with a Harry Potter theme for an answer back to MGM's Tower of Terror. Bring it Universal, yall got this!
I do hope there’s a fantastic beast area.
I'd love a Ministry of Magic trial set in a theater like Disney's old ExtraTerrorRestrial Encounter. Everything's going fine, then suddenly the lights go out and dementors are loose in the room!
Imagine if they had Jurassic World man that would've been a dream come true.
Good to know.
Would have loved to experience the battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort in the main atrium. Could have been breathtaking and intense.
Is universal studios in LA getting something like that too?
Nope...no room. You're lucky there's room for a smaller version of Super Nintendo World.
