New Details About Epic Universe Released! Initial Reaction to Universal's Brand New 2025 Theme Park

did you see it did you see the thing I am absolutely blown away by this it's real they actually did it they announced it finally after four years Universal announced epic universe and it's everything I could have imagined and more I am blown away by this I will say as Enthusiast of theme parks and other related things nothing really came as like a whoo we had no idea that was coming oh yeah however and I tested this because I shared the news on my Facebook the average person who is not into this stuff heavily had no idea yeah that this was coming and they're like yeah I saw like a film page I follow on Twitter posting about epic universe and had thousands of retweets and people are just like whoa and I'm like you guys didn't know about this but it's so weird when like like again we as enthusiasts like I think about epic Universe every day every day it comes to mind if you're Roman Empire yeah it's mine too this is probably going to be debatably the best theme park in the world it looks unreal this concept art that they released is just stunning it's beautiful they primarily focused on the celestial Hub but not really the individual like lands with like cat Trina or Dragon Dark Universe they announced them but we're going to get like official details of like the rides and attractions at a later and you know concept art of those lands so impatient we got like a sneak peek it was just enough to get us just like wao cuz you know it's under construction right now we know how far along it is how things are looking but this concept art gives you an idea of what it's going to look like when it's done and I will say with what has been done so far uh if you guys don't already watch Alicia Stella uh theme park stop they do like amazing updates on the construction here and if you watch them it's actually looking like pretty identical to the concept art which is very rare I feel like concept art typically overpromises and the real thing underd delivers however I think it's going to be different with this yeah absolutely we also have to give a huge shout out to bio reconstructor who has been like the Epic Universe guy with like photographing this place from the air constantly like Paparazzi yeah it's unbelievable every week There's a new update and it's just like so wild to see this thing go from literally like nothing like a field to now this full-fledged theme park that we're all going to be visiting next year that's just so wild to think about I have never watched a theme park uh be built from the ground up ever nothing like this so having this being right down the street is just the craziest thing ever because every time I go over there to kind of like peek and see what I can see it's like a totally different thing going on like they they're moving so quickly oh yeah and to actually step foot in there eventually is going to just be the most surreal thing I'll probably cry I'm going to cry yeah I cried watching the video this morning so I know yeah they released it like in the morning I'm like laying in bed I haven't even like gotten up for the day and I'm already like this park means so much to so many people I think this is just going to be a game changer in every single way I think they're going to set a very high standard for the future of themed entertainment I absolutely know what Disney is going to do to to counter this probably nothing um I do want to address a couple things that have troubled me though with the concept art and okay shoot the portals while amazing looking I worry about crowd flow oh I was that was actually probably my big concern with this is bottlenecking I think the thing that might make it not so bad is that they do have a separate exit so it's going to be in the same way when you enter like Diagon Alley how you like go through the brick wall and then you exit through like a different passageway so like if it works there then maybe it won't be so bad there but it does mean a lot of like doubling back like it's not one continuous loop where when you enter one land you can then access another land from inside that Land once you enter the land you then have to exit the Land back into the Hub and then go back into another one so you know you're making a conscious decision to enter that Land versus like when you're doing Islands you're just doing the loop that is very true yeah um I do want to say that this amount of detail is something that I don't think Universal has tackled really before other than probably The Wizarding World but the fact that that level is going to Cascade throughout the entire park is absolutely crazy like in the past people have kind of picked on universal for being this park that relied on like screens and and things to create a story and it looks like from here on out they're kind of throwing that away to become a part that relies on real like things that are tangibly in front of you so far looking at the artwork of just this Central Hub it seems like they're really like delivering on that yeah whole idea and I think that alone will put this over every other Park in the Universal chain it is going to be completely cohesive and at least that is being designed to be that way you know they have a very specific idea in mind for the entire property it reminds me of how like when Disney did Animal Kingdom they had something very specific in mind and they've been able to keep that feel even years after it opened versus like uh the Studios park is you know bit of a mess Islands still has the central idea for the most part but they've made a lot of changes and it seems like these land are I imagine they're going to be here to say for a long time I can't imagine them like you know redoing this in 10 15 years no I think if anything they'll just add more oh yeah yeah there's going to be expansions to this I saw already talking about them yeah I saw a thing it was like epic Universe has 12 new rides when it opens which is actually more than when like Epcot first open when like Animal Kingdom first open they're going to have to expand this in order to like keep capacity going cuz there's going to be so many guests and you know the rides that are in here are going to have long waits for sure when they open especially if like there isn't an Express system immediately so you're going to have to wait so they're going to have to add more to you know uh diversify the crowd spread them out throughout the park another thing that's really different with this park versus all the other parks in Orlando is like there are aspects to it specifically The Hub that feel like a park not a theme park like a park park like it's so green and filled with trees and water and like I don't know it kind of reminds me of uh like how parts of EP how you just have like all these like big areas with water and flowers and green ray like it looks like that yeah well and I'd also like to point out how cool the ground looks like that's the level of detail we're talking about they were not they're not just using pavement or anything they're just like no we're going to have these elaborate Celestial designs and I just think that's going to be incredible um I imagine each land will have its own kind of feel speaking of which we've talked about epic Universe a lot but I don't think we've ever actually addressed like what we're most excited for yeah um um I would say Nintendo is probably the lowest because I've done it I would probably say the one that is the top is the Dark Universe yeah that is the one I'm most excited for yeah I think this would be so cool it's the first time that I feel like a US theme park is really tackling like a kind of intense theme as like a full-fledged attraction you know we've certainly seen something like that of like Alton Towers and Thor Park which you know is very popular with the guest but the darker themes tend to stay for like the actual Halloween events not something that is fulltime you can experience all year round and uh the attractions in this land I think are going be really really cool I wish they were doing a year round Haun in there but I was going say it'd be silly if they don't I think they probably will eventually if not with the park may they might just be worried about kids trying to keep it familyfriendly which I mean certainly they're fine there's plent they can go to the How to Train Your Dragon area Nintendo oh it's going to be so good guys How to Train Your Dragon is my favorite animated movie the fact that they're doing this land is so cool like I've done a little land with this hidea park in Germany has a little How to Train Your Dragon Land and we're heading over to Dubai soon and motion gate has like a How to Train Your Dragon area so this is going to be that on a completely new scale though I'm excited to learn all the Like official details all see all the concept art for that land uh as well as dark universe and stuff yeah I would agree that Nintendo is probably the one that I'm like least excited for but the Donkey Kong coaster I think is going to be really cool yeah and we're not excited like it just if I like the order of operations here I would probably go there last cuz I've already seen But if haven't seen it before it's probably like holy crap like it's insane we were talking about this like what is going to be the most popular land at Epic Universe I wouldn't be surprised if it was Nintendo it will be it's so different than anything else you know what I mean like you can't find something like that at any other like brand of part of un well which is funny cuz this is the last uh Super Nintendo area opening of the big expansions actually Singapore might be getting one but like Hollywood got one right after Japan and then here we are getting one in Universal Orlando with epic Universe which is different from I know originally they were looking at putting it uh I guess where the New Dreamworks area is in the Studios park but they're like no let's save it for epic so I think I think they made the right call yeah and then the last one being The Wizarding World which I feel like this one is the biggest question mark it's the most intriguing I don't know what the attraction is going to be like I don't think it's very widely known about it seems like it's going to be something like Spider-Man but that's pretty much about it yeah you know I don't know when in the video they said like oh we're not going to tell you cuz you just have to do it for yourself it seems like that's going to be like the ride of this park I know I'm like what the heck I feel like it's going to like sneak up on us cuz everyone's talking about like the monsters Dark Ride and uh you know like the Donkey Kong coaster well Starfall Racers we got the official announcement for that yeah which that looks incredible oh yeah so like what the heck is going on inside the Wizarding World Harry Potter what's going on yeah I love each of the portals that they show for each other I think the Dark Universe one looks the best all the rock work and everything but I mean they all look really really Co cool the hand holding up the wand for The Wizarding World I think that this is going to come true but I really hope that you can't see the land until you pass through the portal like that they mask any sight lines from inside the Hub so the only other time that you'd be able to see is maybe if you're riding like Starfall Racers yeah then you'd be able to see it but you know if you're on the ground that all you see is Celestial Park absolutely well I think we could talk about this all day but we're not going to do that well and I imagine that as we get closer and closer we'll probably uh do more videos like talking about epic Universe this is like the place to watch over the next year oh my God you so there you go our initial reactions to Universal's official announcement with epic Universe uh let us know what you thought of this concept art that was released I know we didn't go into like super specific detail with everything uh go watch Alicia stell's video she'll have something up in theme park stop about it if you want like the nitty-gritty stuff yeah she's very nitty-gritty but in an awesome way in the best way possible yeah it's fantastic so thank you guys so much for watching we really appreciate your support here with Co and we'll see you next [Music] [Music] time
