Universal actually listened to their guests and provided amazing rides and theming to make it work, knowing the money will come; Disney simply puts shit up and wants as much *$$$* as possible. That’s the difference.

@@genericuser4162yea because you went during christmas… the one thing I’ll give disney is that their christmas decor is much more festive and for families who only go once in a lifetime they usually pick holidays like that so obviously it’s going to be more full, as a local who goes to the parks often disney is either A. disgustingly busy it’s unpleasant to be in (usually during school breaks) or B. pretty freaking empty every other time of year. Not to mention Disney has been filling their parks extremely over capacity on occasion it’s become a genuine health hazard, universal has better ride turnout times which equals more space and people spread out all over the park instead of once concentrated area like disney usually is.

[@mrberryhill]

Might be, but I'm an Orlando local and have an annual pass to Disney. Each of the 4 parks are still packed to the brim each day. Was at Animal Kingdom yesterday and some of the longest lines were still 2-3 hours long lol

[@robertgronewold3326]

The fun thing is that most of the people who are working on this new park used to be Imagineers at Disney. Many of them got super frustrated with Disney when they kept scaling back the projects they designed, so many of them moved down the road to Universal, where their creativity can really shine.

[@PsytanicA]

Good luck Universal with this, it's about time this studio finally began to show what it really can do.

[@strongestdirector6137]

Disney is loosing too much money to keep up in the theme park race. Even the movies from Universal and winning against disney

[@nathanrussell-raby5460]

Universal have been crippling Disney for a while now. Harry Potter, Marvel, Jurassic Park/World, Transformers, Minions, Shrek, Dr Seuss, Bourne, ET, Men In Black, The Simpsons, The Mummy, Fast & Furious, King Kong - with Zelda and Pokemon strongly rumoured for 2025. Disney literally cannot compete with them once Epic Universe opens and adds Dragon, Dark Universe and Mario to the Roster. Disney couldn't even open a competing park now if they tried - they've killed all interest in their major IP's. The only chance they had of competing with this was the Star Wars Park, and they blew it by themeing it after the Sequel Trilogy. They could have had a fully-realized Tatooine, complete with an authentic Cantina serving alcohol, Jabba's Palace bar & restaurant, and thrilling Pod-Racing roller coasters. Instead, they gave us a 2billion dollar hotel based on that casino from The Last Jedi for 4 Grand per night, and a dull park lacking most of the iconic elements from the movies, such as familiar locations, popular characters, and the John Williams music.

[@krashdummiez007]

I thought Disney owns 20th century Fox tho? Don’t they get a cut?

[@nathanrussell-raby5460]

@@krashdummiez007 They'll probably get a cut proportionate to the Simpsons presence in the parks. To my knowledge though, they don't get a cut of the Marvel land because Universal purchased a flat 99 year license when Marvel was struggling in the 90's; this contract also prohibits Disney from building Marvel attractions in Florida.

[@zillauniverse7208]

Very excited for this especially seeing properties that I love like Nintendo, How To Train Your Dragon and Universal Monsters in a big theme park. Also I think it’s funny how it took Universal 5 years to build an entire land meanwhile it took 5 years for Disney just to build the same Tron ride from Hong Kong Disneyland for Disney World.

[@Red_Ryan_Red]

I’ve been following the construction for two years. They are building fast and it looks great so far.

[@Avarn388]

This all looks great. Disney has been resting on their laurels for some time and Universal has been slowly but surely eating up their market-share and they have been loosing the youth. More kids know Mario than Mickey Mouse nowadays. They really need to get themselves together other wise if they loose Florida they are screwed. And No, focusing on international theme parks won't mean jack because what are the major theme parks folks think of about Disney? Walt Disney World in Florida. The original parks.

[@Ken-rc3vr]

I really hope the expansion adds something from DC Studios maybe Gotham City,metropolis or the themyscira! Universal already has a great relationship with Warner Brothers this has tons of potential!

[@Xenomorphine]

Universal's always had different zones. They go all-out for Hallowe'en by using props and costumes they have in storage from actual films. Major 'Harry Potter'/'How To Train Your Dragon'/Universal Monsters/video game/etcetera sections was there when I was there over a decade ago. Yes, with big gardens and such. There was also a proper Main Street thing, which looked just like a huge classic Hollywood street, complete with the DeLorean outside, where you could photograph yourself alongside it. It's probably more of a marketed make-over and slight expansion for what they already have, but I wouldn't say it's radically new for them or anything.

[@Teachworth01]

My friend, this isnt just a slight retheme and expansion. They arent touching any of their old parks, This is an entirely new resort that is just shy of doubling their current size. Uni Orlando currently has two theme parks, the Citywalk shopping center, and multiple hotels. The new Epic Universe park is almost exactly the same size of EVERYTHING they currently have. This is a huge deal for Universal

[@Xenomorphine]

@@Teachworth01 It may well be a new location, but I was pointing out that the announcement of these 'zones' is no different to what they had in 2010. They had zones dealnig with the same themes in Orlando, back then. It was the time the 'Terminator 2 3D' ride was doing its last run. Just the existence of the zones, by themselves, (which is what H seemed to be wowed by) is nothing really new. Not saying it won't be impressive as a new resort, just that it won't be the "Disney-killer" he's making it out to be, beause they've done the same concept already.

[@dtrizzle67]

All universal has to do is add one more park on top of epic universe and it’s completely over for disney

[@candidwings5609]

If you haven't seen it, Theme Park Stop has a video about the size of the new property compared to other parks. If they convert the flat l parking to a garage like in USO, they have room for an additional park. And most the mini lands have room for add-on sections (I think about 7-10 acres each).

This is not going to destroy Disney. This will be a game changer but Disney already has plans to expand, ie Villain's Land, Coco etc. Let alone that even with Epic Universe that only means Universal is on the same level as Walt Disney World. Universal Orlando and Epic Universe will be about 1300 acres. WDW is over 25000. Epic Universe is going to have one 500 room resort. Which is just over half the size the Grand Floridian. Let's hate on Disney for what they're doing to Star Wars, etc but Universal and Disney are 2 separate corners of the market.

[@makavoxel]

And 2 more 750 room resort hotels opening in January 2025. The one you mentioned is just the one in the park. Also Disney is going to take 10 years to build those 'bluesky' plans. It took them 7 years to build Galaxies Edge, 6 years to build Tron Coaster. Plus they have bled away all their top Imagineers and guess what, they went over to work for Universal and Epic Universe.

There are not enough Pixie-Dusters or Disney apologists to keep the parks afloat... not with the likes of "Zelda" and "Pokemon" on the way. Disney HAS the brand-power to combat Nintendo IP's, but all their Star Wars and Marvel stuff is either "gay", or geared towards black women ...so as far using brands to their full potential is concerned, Disney dropped the soap.

Classic rides like Journey into imagination and their fantasy land in Disney world destroyed. The costs are just not worth it anymore. Its not as magical as it was in the 90s. I can say one good thing about Disney though, their food at epcot is better than Universals. Hopefully Epic improves in that area. I hope this Epic is a wake up call to Disney.

[@SHOGUN40K]

@@MrHReviews I watched your video to the end and heard all that, Disney’s films have been shit in recent years, but their parks were still a step above Universal’s when I last visited. I imagine Universal’s investment will close the gap, as I already said. My comment is merely that this new park won’t ’destroy Disney’, as you said several times, and I get why because a lot of people probably love hearing that. Universal’s 2 current theme parks in Orlando are essentially 1 park, since they’re joined and offer very similar experiences (half of Harry Potter is on one site while the other is on the other site and they connect via the Hogwarts Express - they literally want you to see these parks in the same day). You can see most of what they have to offer in a single day if you travel off season. Day 2 you go to the water park, then you’re pretty much done with Universal’s parks until your next trip. With this new park you get an extra day at Epic Universe, so an awesome 3-day holiday. Meanwhile, Disney have 4 parks, they’re far apart and you’re usually too knackered to see more than 1 park a day, though you can travel to each via complimentary bus, ski lift style skyliner or a monorail, each has a very different identity and the 2 water parks are dope. I don’t know what investments Disney have planned, but they made massive investment with Avatar land, Toy Story Land, Star Wars land and a shit tonne spent on Epcot a few years ago, and they added the skyliner, so now it’s just Universal’s turn. I’m excited to check out Universal’s new park. My comment wasn’t even meant as an ‘ah, gotcha”. I’ve watched the original Epic Universe video, they aren’t saying Epic Universe is a 7-day park, they mean this park along with their existing parks makes Universal Orlando a 7-day resort.
