Epic Universe Construction Update | Major Progress In Dark Universe & More

[@daa589]

Wow. Disney is giving out $50 popcorn buckets and universal is giving us everything we want

[@capthemagic]

I imagine they’ll have cool popcorn buckets on top of it all as well 🤣🤣

[@yankeesusa1]

Don't forget they are also closing down rides for a long time and removing many other things... And they still say Universal is still playing catch-up😅

[@JonathanOrtiz-i5n]

For me Is never a “broken record” when it comes to an Epic Universe update. I love them.

[@IsisFerreira-Lesho]

At 4:21 that is a Time-Turner ( it is a magical device used for time travel). This is likely how they will explain going from the 1920’s France through the metro flu and a time turner to the day of Umbridge’ s trial. Makes more sense now.

Just noticed ( 01:10 ) the roots are going over the portal! That is so cool.

[@koriewiley8700]

So far so good 😊😊

[@ReneChang-ho2ss]

It's opening May but I'm assuming it will be mostly completed early April. They will have to do some soft openings prior to the official date and train staff prior to the soft opening.

The transplanting of these big trees in dark universe is amazing to see.

[@capthemagic]

It’s wild to see new photos and see a bunch of new trees pop up

[@LChatmanFL]

I remember something about a daytime parade. Is that still a thing? Also, when I look around Celestial Park, I am not sure those pathways work. They seem kinda cozy (unless I am misreading the scale).

[@randolphwilliams2365]

Thanks

[@supernova4760]

Still a lot of work to do, are they really going to finish all this in 6 months? the workers must be feeling the pressure. I wouldn't be surprised if they push back the opening.

[@capthemagic]

I imagine Universal will throw money at the problem if they really need to finish things up quicker. They stand to lose much more money and momentum if they were to delay an opening

I love that they designed a lot of the different queues with coverings so guests aren't being scorched in the summer sun. It's really starting to look like a theme park now. The park is coming along but Celestial Park just looks like a mess. They have a long ways to go to get Celestial Park ready for park opening, or even technical rehearsals early next year. The park is supposed to be completed by the end of this year so it can be turned over to Operations. We'll see if that happens.

[@supernova4760]

Not a chance they will complete construction by end of the year. Judging by this video this park needs at least 8 more months of solid non-stop construction and at least 3 months of testing. I think they are being optimistic with their opening day and I won't be surprised if they pushback the opening to later towards the end of the year possibly Christmas.

[@ducktails1695]

@supernova4760 well they don’t have eight months left. The park opens in May and it has to be done by maximum January. It will open on the date that they said stuff may not be working, but they will open. It would have to be a catastrophic event for them to not open on May 22nd. People have already purchased plane tickets, hotel rooms, and park tickets. They can't go back on the date now. If you saw IOA 6 months before opening you would think that would have never been ready either. Things will come around. It will just go down to the wire.

[@FortMiseryGaming]

Hey Jer do you mind making a video when the cinematic spectactular and the xmas parade starts at studios were waiting to go when it starts.

[@capthemagic]

I will try and get some good video of that

[@ducktails1695]

The app says Cinesational will resume in November 2024, but no exact day. I would expect it to start with in the next week or two. They may wanna get the rest of HHN disassembled first. The first Christmas parade will be Friday, November 22nd. The time always varies so you have to keep an eye on the UO app.

[@hollybabyyy]

Did you see disneys new New Year’s Eve $800 offer lol

[@capthemagic]

No but they usually do some insanely expensive New Years Party… always wondered if people actually pay to go to those things lol

[@LChatmanFL]

$800... Ouch.

[@hollybabyyy]

[@beazerthesneeze]

$800?!? Don’t care if it’s per person or per couple. No thanks

[@ChrisHart20256]

Don't forget: Tickets and Packages went on sale last month on October 22nd 2024

[@capthemagic]

Very true

[@ChrisHart20256]

My favorite thing will be super Nintendo world

[@ImCallingYouOUT1]

Very reminiscent of Theme Park Stops video

[@robertandlizforever7862]

Well my company just got a job to connect the water pipes and sewage pipes in front of the Stella and Terra entrance on epic and universal Blvd to start Jan hope they can do the work in 1 month I'm doubtful that entrance may not be open when the hotels open this is real the road is blocked off right now cause the road is settling that also is going to be fixed
