Universal Epic Universe News Mega Update - MULTIPLE ANIMATRONICS, NEW RIDE DETAILS, & SIGN PERMITS

[@ThemeParkStop]

As we get more official details, which ride are you most excited for at Epic Universe?

[@MrGoat-cd8lt]

I’m SO hyped for SO many of the rides, but without a doubt Battle at the Ministry is my answer

[@makaylabradford6193]

Battle at the Ministry is definitely what I’m most excited for!

[@Bee-td4ir]

@@ThemeParkStop monsters unchained!!! i love the spookier thrills in existing UOR attractions like the mummy and forbidden journey, and i just think this new ride will be so creepy-cool.

[@alexishollingsworth6708]

Monsters Unchained... Forbidden Journey already scares me and I LOVE all the villains coming after you in Spider-Man. This feels similar and they've got the track record for monsters from HHN. Disney also seems nervous about it given now they're doing villains land which makes me think it has to be good.

[@petemtb]

Monsters Unchained. Though seeing Imelda Staunton waving toodle-oo as she is wisked away (18:26 in video) cracks me up and makes me think Battle for the Ministry could challenge the Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man for the most fun you can have on a dark ride.

[@Uncerte]

isn't it nice when concept art is actually accurate with what was built?

[@whimsyxox]

yes! Sometimes things change/are enhanced in the original concept, so it’s nice to see how vivid and accurate everything is!

[@jacobzacharewicz5661]

Something Disney doesn’t know how to do 💀

[@BrettCaccia]

Take note Disney

[@TheWASHINGMACHINEBOY]

yeah

[@jaysonpida5379]

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? That Disney plays a good game of bait-and-switch with its concept art? Naaaaaaw.....lol

[@FifthGate]

I think there's going to be some kind of day-to-night hand-off evening show between the Helios and Luna statues (maybe his arrow lights up the the flame just above her).

[@TheWASHINGMACHINEBOY]

alicia talked about this in a previous epic universe news update

[@josephmorris7447]

Hi Alicia! I had previously posted regarding the Ministry ride size being about 150,000 sq ft. Now that I know how the ride portions are delineated based on your video it appears that the queue/atrium section will comprise about 56,000 sq ft of the space and the actual ride portion is about 93,000 sq ft. I don't know of any other show building at Disney or Universal that is this massive!

[@kingadam69]

That's the size of a whole theme park land, what the fuck!?

[@officialdcshepard]

@@kingadam69 That’s probably why the French portion is above ground and the Battle for the Ministry is underground.

[@Atyomommahouse-p2m]

@@kingadam69 no it’s not 😂 not even close.

[@judgesh]

Maybe 93000 cubed feet

[@fanta104]

how big is rise?

[@Zodia195]

That's so cool that Universal got the Actress who played Umbridge to reprise her role! I am glad she's still alive too. Umbridge may be the most detestable char in the HP saga, but the actress did such an excellent job portraying her. I heard she's actually a big sweetheart hehe. I bet she had fun recording and doing all of those little stunts.

[@AlexShannon]

A new Epic Universe video means a good day

[@Art3free-3]

I love that they have planted all the plants in advanced so when we walk in it will not feel bare

[@Red_Ryan_Red]

Maybe also help protect from direct sunlight!

[@artapples8417]

It's already the most beautiful theme park I've ever seen, but all these wonderful details you shown today take it too an unimaginable level of beauty. It's incredible 😍

[@blakegoff1739]

It's honestly incredible how fast construction progress for Epic Universe has been between every update! It's so close to being a reality now, that it's unreal. I was happy to see Dixie Kong be confirmed for the Donkey Kong area, and all the Wizarding World ride's queue looks incredible!

[@BumblyBear]

Leading up to my visit I'm going to go back and rewatch all the construction updates!

[@bigbenji1194]

Crazy they got this much done . And the fast and furious coaster is just now getting track pieces installed 😂😂

[@NinthShinigami]

Every single video just raises my excitement more than I thought possible, so ready for this park when it opens 🔥🔥🔥

[@artapples8417]

Your Epic Universe updates are one of the things I most look forward to on KZbin .. Thank you ^_^

[@RankingTheMouse]

I think Paris is going to absolutely blow away Park guests - scope & scale none of us have ever seen before at a theme park. Going to be so good 😍

[@makaylabradford6193]

Thank you so much for the update! Can’t wait for Epic Universe 🤩

[@jedibilly]

It sure looks like all the exterior elements will be pretty much completed by New Years! But I know there's going to be a lot of indoor mechanics and interiors we won't see til opening.

[@captain4318]

This is genuinely shaping up to be same of the best theming done in a theme park!

[@deltonabf]

Beautifully produced! These updates are highly anticipated and never get old. Great job!

[@yessirrrrrrrr1197]

20 minutes?! Oh yeah

[@WTStinson]

Cannot get to watch this fast enough! Such amazing coverage!

[@kentslocum]

Dear Disney, thank you for making it so easy for me to choose Universal. Universal is building beautiful water features, while you are paving over yours. 😢

[@OcDuBR]

Universal is innovating beyond expectations 🗿🍷🥶

[@Knights_of_Zurg]

Epic Universes is going to be a 2-day park. It's just to big to see everything in one day.

[@FAFO4wisdom-s9o]

I would say 4 days to spend a full day in each world with a bit of time at opening and closing for Celestial Park.

[@Bee-td4ir]

your uploads absolutely make my day. thank you so much for making these videos :)

[@madelyngibson1782]

I’m going for my 30th birthday and I literally can not wait! I’ve never wanted to be 30 so bad!

[@donray2435]

Been waiting for this one....LETS FN GOOOOOOOOO

[@GLJosh]

Universal chose the perfect title for this park, it sounds/looks truly Epic!

[@sparkasaurusdonna]

So many details. Such great footage. Thanks for another absolutely wonderful video.

[@DRAGONREALMSADVENTURES]

definitely feels like universal is trying to make an experience not just a theme park. theres loads of little details that they care about

[@Galistia]

14:15 I actually thought there was a truck on the roof of the building for a second lol

[@claudiaweidenthal8141]

A new video from Alicia - the only blog worth watching when it comes to Epic Universe - Thank You 🥰🥰

[@MakemeupMentor]

I wonder if they found a way to make the monster park dark all day that would just be the extra cherry on top

[@kentslocum]

They probably thought about putting it indoors, but that would have been an enormous building. 😮

[@McDavitt05]

Epic

[@AccioLorna]

thank you for the update!!!

[@JFrombaugh]

Surprised we still don't have official names for the two tracks of Stardust Racers. Maybe Helios vs Luna to represent the two gods?

[@FAFO4wisdom-s9o]

Or Asteria and Ortygia

[@kaicolt1509]

Great update!

[@Remysnum1fan]

I’m SOOOO FREAKING EXCITED, from how it’s looking, I think it will be close to finished by December! The outside at least.

[@taraanddrewwinner7459]

It's awesome to see so much finishing work going on! Won't be much longer!

[@LuckyPierre789]

Thanks for another awesome update!

[@Alex_From_Florida]

Okay hear me out: instead of Starfall Racers being renamed to Stardust Racers, they should call it “Clashing Comets”

[@JordiLA]

The París area is unbelievable

[@BrettDault]

Thank you!! I was just thinking about you and 🎉 🤗

[@eloritetitus2376]

They chose the right name for this land epic because man is this place going to make me tear up🥺. I've neve seen a theme park so ahead of its time and so advanced for the price of 3 billion dollars this land is the price of what some stadiums cost and will make so much money and move so many people so quickly. Looks like universal is taking a big shit on Disney right now lol. Congratulations universal 🎉

[@robertgray1756]

Epic feast for the senses. Thankyou for the update.

[@adrianamartin9108]

I cry everytime i see your updates 😭😭 im just so excited!

[@saturdaymorningfan3123]

A new theme park stop update! Most watch!

[@ethanconnell4569]

I’ve been SOOOO freakin anxious waiting for this update video! I love your updates so much! I cannot wait for epic universe to open, I will be there!!!

[@LuciaChaurand]

Super Nintendo world is coming up and i can wait to see it at Orlando, Florida USA. ♥☺

[@Jboylive21]

Been waiting on this 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾…. Hey Alicia , how fast do you think the Donkey kong coaster will be ?

[@ciscoduncan838]

Hope it’s done soon but it looks like there is so much work to be done. Can’t wait! Thanks for the video.

[@giftenetienne9556]

Another great video x

[@yupdatsme8586]

I'm so excited for this park! I love your updates

[@Geertmans]

Hi Alicia, one again great video. Just wondering, where do you get the music for your videos from?

[@ThemeParkStop]

All of it is from Epidemic Sound. And this video used 31 different tracks, I think the most ever!

[@randolphwilliams2365]

You really are the best!!

[@the_ssas_squad]

OMG, I LITERALLY can’t wait!!!!!!!!!! 😩😍☺️

[@Red_Ryan_Red]

What I wanna know about is progress on the train station coming to serve the convention center/epic universe!

[@Kev-O33]

im excited. also worried about the DK coaster. it STILL isnt opened in Japan. hope the same issues arnt present here

[@matthewryan8089]

I'm really looking forward to dark universe.

[@philrabe910]

Wow wow wow! It looks like a great deal of the walkways are about to become paved and it's hard to see how they can squeeze in more foliage! Wow! I say soft openings by Christmas or the New Year.

[@yankeesusa1]

Wow, amazing. Meanwhile at Disney….😢

[@ericdroddy7444]

When you go through the portal to Nintendo World I hope it makes a sound effect like when Mario goes into a tube

[@a.y.greyson9264]

It does at the LA location.

[@73937mario]

Got any news for the Dallas park?

[@MarioOsuna407]

Amazing Beautiful video 🧚🏻‍♂️✨🌈🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉.

[@EPiche09]

Wow

[@YTOP]

has there been any rumors about the og trio will return to reprise their roles?

[@ikkishun]

Hi Alicia, great update as always! Since we know the original actor has reprised her role as Umbridge, are there any rumors to any of the main trio reprising their roles? Or are there rumors they'll use voice actors and body doubles to fill their roles like what they did for Harry and Hermoine for the Diagon Alley expansion?

[@ThemeParkStop]

I have to imagine it will be doubles and sound alikes for at least two of them, just like when Diagon opened. They recently replaced Hermoine’s voice on the Hogwarts Express with a much better impersonation, so I’ve wondered if that’s our new actress for this ride too.

[@BigTXRipper66]

I’m have a quick question? Will they charge people separately for all the different parts of Epic Universe? Example pay for Mario World and Dark Universe separately?

[@TrainerCTZ]

I'm surprised they look to be missing the opportunity to use a huge Tesla coil in Dark Universe. 8:49 looks non-functional

[@dominicanheat2790]

WAHHH

[@NathanS429]

When is the next podcast?

Imagine the days we could actually get excited about a new everything and not knowing all this upended nonsense. 🤷🏼

3 weeks feels a bit long miss yall

[@SondicoDenann]

Great vlog. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this years HHN!

[@ThemeParkStop]

Next week!

[@supremefan]

at 19:20 "***3rd Disc to be added in the future, OH span designed to support it"... I think that confirms they have a 4th park planned in the future.

[@ThemeParkStop]

Or a new hotel on Epic Blvd or additional parking options. You never know!

[@supremefan]

@@ThemeParkStop I think Comcast is converting their dying cable business into the Disney model.. so I strongly believe a 4th park is coming much sooner then most think if Epic succeeds as they plan it will.

[@marcussheen]

Great work again. Love how true to the artists' impressions and the model everything is, even down to the tiniest detail 🤌

[@xoxpascalle]

What are we gonna do with our lives when epic universe opens and there are no more update videos to look forward to 😅
