Epic Universe to open in 6 months. Here's where things stand

This is gonna knock Disney world off the map

[@1DisneyfanVR]

Well this may instead take a hit on Disney World attendance or what Disney is predicting an "increase in attendance" at the resort parks

[@jcnash47]

Not really. Many who come to Disney are diehard Disney fans and don't care about the Universal rides/themes. These are completely different parks. If anything, Disney will see an increase in attendance because people will go to both when visiting for Epic.

@@jcnash47 I doubt that. WDW is too expensive for a lot of families today and the way Universal is doing their packages its forcing people to stay more days at UO. People will want to see a new park. Also, there are more and more people skipping WDW for UO for many reasons (Prices, nothing new, nickel and dimeing, etc).

@@ducktails1695 This is not cheap either. People talking like this is going to be free.

Where will they get workers? Thousands needed.

[@0dylan]

Wouldn't be surprised if they've already started training/hiring many in their current parks and planning to migrate them once construction is complete.

[@ducktails1695]

@@0dylan They can only migrate so many. They need to keep their current parks open too.
