@@capthemagiccan you do a video about the avengers e ticket ride that Disney has been promising us for years at California adventure? Plus it would be funny to see the thumbnail for that video too 😂

"...BEFORE next summer". Yes please!

Agreed!

Disney: “Sorry we didn’t do much for Epcot, we really took a hit from Covid and don’t have money” Universal: “You know that park we started building before covid? Yeah, it’s opening early”

Lol true

Thank you for giving the clear "path" to how you got to the interview and specifically giving credit. I wish it was more common in the theme park you tube space. As for opening timing: I wonder about a earlier opening month that does one land at a time each week to really hone in on improvements. Then a phased land opening afterward. Or two at a time. Either way, they have lots of operations help from the unopened lands to learn, and to pitch in when needed

No problem and as an opening sequence that’s possible but I feel like they’ll do all the lands at once but again, who knows?

My guess has always been basically identical to IOA’s opening timeline back in 1999. Soft opening/TM and passholder previews starting late March (around the 29th), official opening at the end of May (around the 30th.)

So excited!!!

Everybody! Order Balance of Nature Fruit and Vegetables Capsules right now! I want everybody to be at their very best for Epic Universe!

my god imagine this opening in time for spring break season

Probably early 2025… maybe winter or most likely spring.

Can we honor that hilarious thumbnail for a second??😂😂

April 2025.

If they’re saying early 2025 I feel like April is kinda the sweet spot

I might be mistaken, but I believe this is the second time he has said this.

It's possible but I wasn't aware of it if he has

I think april

may 2025 is my guess.

Disney: Let's make 90 percent of our fans unhappy. If our higher prices don't do it, our cutbacks of guest experiences will and take your pick of whatever else they've done to lower guest satisfaction and reduce visitors to the parks. While we're at it, let's kill some popular franchises and make some horrid movies. Universal: Let's hire the best and let them do their thing. It'll be Epic!

They also pretty much gave universal most of their talented and experienced imagineers when many left after Disney tried to force them to move to Florida

Did he say 100 acres?

The Epic Universe park itself is roughly 100 acres. Not all of the 750 original acres was being used for the park itself

February

This is quite old news now. I first heard of this interview about a fortnight ago now. Got enticement going when I saw your title😅. Far from official or specific. He's just doing a podcast for one of his old buddies, saying whatever he likes cos it's not an official release.

… which I also said in the video. It’s also not “old news” as the video is a few weeks old but it’s the head of creative for the park, I doubt he’s going out here just lying about opening timelines

@capthemagic hey man I get it, seeing the interview gets the juices flowing, hell yeah! 😍🎢 and the sooner it opens, the better. That being said, it really is old news in terms of epic universe updates, buddy. There is a mountain of videos already on youtube quoting this very interview. Most have been out from the day it was done. Epic updates aren't really updated if it's been in the public domain for 3 weeks or more dude. Also, I don't think he's lying about anything, but he also isn't officially stating anything. This is a very loose statement made to a friend and should be read into very, very little. He may be a top dog. Nevertheless, this is far and beyond something to take as gospel. We certainly don't "seem to have an answer to it" and I would say in the context of the interview, it is closer to a rumour than actual fact, regardless of the source being "creative director " he isn't in an official capacity or making an official statement of any kind, I wish it was more concrete than that myself but I don't see it that way. All that said I have my fingers crossed for a march opening 🤞🤣🎢

Every time I see construction pictures it looks like they are rolling with it! 🦺 👍🏼
