What I love most so far about this new park is the lack of minimalist design and adding a lot celestial mixed with steampunk elements to the architecture. Very refreshing Universal! I just hope the park management and operations live up to the hype and allow everyone to experience this (so far) amazing park with minimal friction.

Right?! It’s great that a theme park actually has a theme (and a good one!)

Volcano Bay involves TONS of friction, so that experience plus the amount of moving/kinetic items shown in the Epic Universe trailers has me a bit concerned. But optimistically this evokes a lot of the positive design elements from the best theme park in the world, Toyko DisneySea. Their central spire seems like a more themed and more ambitious version of what Epcot aimed for (and scaled back...and scaled back again). Toothsome at CityWalk is aging well and Celestial Park looks to draw on a lot of those same design notes plus the space elements you highlight. I think it has a good chance to look original and stay fresh for years.

@@QuesoGr7 In this case I'm using friction to describe the resistance present at VB which interferes with guests' desired actions. Primarily I'm thinking of having to park away from the...park...and be bussed to the entrance, the inability to get in line for rides when/if desired, and the wait to depart the park (though that's not an exhaustive list and omits other friction points like security, picking up tubes and lifejackets, lockers, and some aspects of food & beverage). I love VB. I love the theming and placemaking, the layout (once I got a handle on it), and the rides themselves. But I recently visited Aquatica and even on a busy day it was just so much to park, walk in, jump in a line, and then walk out at the end of the day. At VB on an equally busy day had my party wait almost an hour for a bus back to the garage, and most of that wait was underground or in a queue with high fencing blocking us in. I'll happily concede that on a slow day and especially if walking from lodging on-property this is less of an issue, but it's enough of an issue at other times to meaningfully affect the overall experience. It's too bad because Studios and Islands compare favorably to SeaWorld and Disney whereas Volcano Bay is a lot more challenging.

No chance. There will be endless hurdles to jump through, virtual queues, park reservations. If you’re not a theme park influencer or an annual pass holder, the first year this park is open might as well not count.

It's great to see Universal bring back the concept of fully original experiences in a time where every theme park is focused on IP-based attractions, and on such an impressive scale too! Areas like this are what truly make a theme park timeless, memorable, and able to create an identity of its own.

I hope that Celestial Park can eventually be expanded with additional original attractions beyond the carousel and coaster, it's such a great theme and it's so rare to get something completely original from Universal Creative!

This park Screams the attention to detail and care and color of the 90s which theme parks have been lacking for years now. I am so glad it isnt grey and borning. This is honestly my favorite new design since MGM studios opened in 89.

Taking the “Universe” out of Universal was such a smart move on their end for this design. Celestial Park looks beautiful on its own!-but having it be essentially just the *hub* for this entire theme park?! I’m looking forward to something extraordinary with this one, Universal 🤩

This looks like such a well made theme park I’m most excited for Nintendo land but everytime I see something new it just amazes me that universal is literally taking it far beyond people’s expectations! This is definitely next level! I love Disney but they need to invest way more into their parks. Universal is serious competition and I’m pretty sure they are well aware of that. So im hoping they both bring out the best out of eachother to compete.. I’m loving everything about epic universe! I cannot wait! Great job universal !!!!

Universal never ceases to amaze me. I am SURE this park and everything about it will be amazing. Keep up the Amazing work!!

I moved out of Orlando (and Florida) back in 2014. I'm strongly thinking about moving back, simply because of what Universal Studios is doing with Epic Universe, and the other Nintendo-related IPs they're bringing. No matter how bad a day I might have had, if I have a UOR annual pass, I know I'll end the day on a positive note with a quick trip down I-4. Incredible. Simply incredible job.

I can’t wait to see this. I remember how awesome it was when Islands of Adventure first opened

High key excited! 2025 gotta come soon

This might be my FAVORITE themeing of any land I have ever seen in a theme park. Like EVER! Its so timeless and elegant…captures such a moment in time….yet feels so fresh and current and fits in with so many franchises. WOW Im completely bowled over! Your guys NAILED IT!

I'm getting like an Atlantis/Deco vibe here! Looks very nice and I like that it's an original idea to go with the IP-based areas.

My family is so hyped! Thank you for making this old guy excited! See you soon

It's so beautiful looks like heaven. Idk who came up with the whole park but I am excited abosoulty beautiful job

Beautiful design. This area feels more Star Wars than Galaxys Edge. Like a different planet which is what it should have been not a desert outpost. The portal entrances are designed really well and can imagine what that will look like in person.

The Sci-Fi Belle Époque take on the architecture is really cool

Fantastic work from the team! I can't wait to see it finished!

I was struggling with the concept of this one. Didn’t know what this was supposed to be. But now I understand that it’s the “hub world” I get it. Sort of like a timeless world-between-worlds. Reminds me a bit of the Mediterranean areas of Tokyo DisneySea

CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS!

I would die for a Legend of Zelda area

Love this! Would also love to see a drone fly through of the existing parks with unique angles of Gringott's Dragon spitting fire, and the future, or previous, Hogwarts light show.

SO EXCITED!

This is going to be EPIC.

Watching this was emotional. 🎉

This feels like the Tomorrowland that Disney never gave us.

im so excited they are bringing back the dueling coasters!!

I am going to have the best time at Universal Studios and Island of Adventures once Epic Universe opens

Great looking park! this flythrough could have been so much more! seriously Universal, you know where I am! Give me a month and you wont believe how amazing I could make this look!

this is awesome.

It reminds me a lot of Fantasy Springs at Tokyo Disney, especially this weird round thing in the middle and the hotel inside the park.

SO EXCITED!!

Can you please make an Animated Fly-through of Super Nintendo World?

Epic Universe in this animation looks fantastic and wonderful and see how beautiful it is.

I can’t wait to be walking through the park! Every part of it looks incredible!

Seems like a spread out garden with just a few rides. I like Cedar Point design where they are more efficient with space and less walking to get to next ride or attraction.

The cure for depression is to listen to the video several times and use it as background music.

I love the outer space steampunk/clockpunk aesthetic of this park. Kinda reminds me a little of DisneyQuest.

This is so exciting, I can't wait! Universal Epic Universe is going to be so amazing ❤

Wow it looks so amazing

Correct me if I'm wrong but this part doesn't seem to be based on an already exisiting IP? I've heard that there are going to be rides and lands with IPs attached to them, but I absolutely love areas which just let the designers go wild! General themes are nothing that should be left abandoned! I'm kinda getting some 90s vibes with this one here and I'm more than here for it.

Absoloutely incredible, what a park this will be! Amazing

Oh man I can't wait to go and experience this. It looks so good like mind blowing good.

Very tempting, very very tempting

This looks unreal. Can't wait to visit over and over.

Great tour of the parks. Thanks so much for posting. I do wish the fly-through was a little slower in some spots so I could focus a little better on the details. We will be visiting Epic Universe sometime in the Fall of next year. Can't wait!

I would actually recommend the first half of November if you can make it work. Lots of schools in the US have a fall break in October, and then Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November. It still technically is hurricane season in November. (June 1 - November 30) but November tropical storms and hurricanes are not common. You also shouldn't have to worry about winter weather in early November if you have to catch a connecting flight in someplace like New York or Chicago. The only time in September I wouldn't recommend is around Labor Day, which is the first Monday in September.

This looks pretty amazing.

I’m excited to take my daughter she’s going to love it!
