Universal Orlando Announces NEW Theme Park & On The Hunt For HHN! | Rumors & Speculation Fun!
Ойын-сауық
In today's video we talk about Universal Orlando's announcement of a brand new theme park in Orlando called Universal's Epic Universe. We headed out to drive by the construction site to see how progress is going. They released concept art for how the park will look and using that we theorize what will be going in the new theme park! Some thoughts we had were: Super Nintendo World with attractions based around Mario, Yoshi, and Donkey Kong. A land based around Universal Classic Monsters with a year round haunted attraction. An area devoted to How to Train Your Dragon with some sort of dragon themed roller coaster. We also noticed that the concept art had what looks like a hotel at one end of the theme park which reminded us a lot of how Tokyo Disney Sea is set up. After that we headed to Universal Studios to see if they have started setting up for Halloween Horror Nights, which they have. We also stopped by Islands of Adventure to see the progress of the Jurassic Park rollercoaster we are calling Velocicoaster the name that was found on the permit filed by Universal. Join us tomorrow for another new video!

Based on the concept art, the entrance for the dueling coaster appears to be in the hub area rather than in the HTTYD section (if you zoom into the concept art, you'll see a path attached to it with a green covering going towards the hub). However, we can also see a rollercoaster that definitely is in the HTTYD section, and it's black, which heavily implies Night Fury (which is the obvious thing for them to go with anyways).

I think an awesome idea for a “scare” zone or a decoration thing would be a Dark Arts takeover of the London Waterfront, with stuff like Death Eaters and Dementors all over the place, and just decorating it. I know Diagon Alley doesn’t really have the room for that stuff, but London at least should
I would also love to see a Spongebob Land at Kids Zone, they already have a Spongebob store there. They can close ET which would be sad but hey, things change. They could use the same track and have little kiddy rides and have the spongebob neighborhood where you can meet them. Also, imagine going to Krusty Crab and getting an official Krabby Patty!!

It would definitely be fun, but I just hope it is a successful area. I feel like Classic Monsters is one of those things that the fans say they want, but when it's finally built no one visits. I hope I'm wrong.
The exciting part about the new park is by the time it’s built little tracker will be old enough to enjoy it.
I love that you always highlight, and sometimes even try, vegetarian and vegan options. It’s nice to see all the items
I am not ready for summer to be over. This last Michigan winter took so much out of me, I can't even find any excitement for autumn (which has always been my favorite season). I need the sunlight and warmth to keep going! On a happier note, Super Nintendo was my childhood and so I'm going to need to visit this new land when it opens.
I'm so glad universal in orlando doing a Jurassic world. Sooooo happy about this. This was our first trip to on Orlando this year visiting universal was the best had so much fun. Can't wait to go back next year. Hopefully Jurassic world would be open by then.
I'd love to see a retro/classics area where classic rides such as Jaws and earthquake are reimagined.
your attention to detail is insane.. something that separates you from others.. thanks for all your effort!!
The concept art looks so amazing can't wait to experience Epic Universe! I'll say it would be done in 2023 or 2024

When you showed the area where there is a possible “Monsters” area is looks like a partial stadium next to it which could be a continuation of the Wizarding World, it could have been a Quidditch Pitch.. 🤷🏼♀️
Loved Tim's version of Mario's theme song and the inside scoop on what happens at a Theme Park Pigeon convention!!
You guys will be able to experience something brand new with your new addition, little Tracker, that's AWESOME!
14000 jobs!? 😮 Must be a huge theme park! Looking forward to updates!
4 years in a row I’ve been watching your universal updates for HHN, so pumped
Awe man. If you were at Universal yesterday. I must have just missed you! Thanks for all the tips!
I was feeling anxious but then Tim introduced me to lighting towers and now I feel better.
Loving the new Music! DeDeDeDeDe! Fun😆 Love sitting here in Scotland watching all the updates, missing HHN this year, but next year we will be there!
I am SO PUMPED for Super Nintendo World! I've been waiting my entire life for a place like that to finally exist!
Ending with the super mario tune lol thee best!
Coffee and Tim to start the day. Look forward to the Epic Universe updates! Was talking with my family yesterday about how exciting it will be to be able to follow the progress of a new theme park.
Love this! Thank you!! Also super excited to try that jackfruit sandwich at monsters cafe.
Tim..I whole heartily agree with you..the world needs more roller coasters
Love Tim’s song at the end!! Great job on this video, Jenn, as usual. 🌻
Great vlog Tim! Thanks for the heads up! I love Universal Studios! I hope everything will be built by the time I go back.
A How to Train Your Dragon Land would be amazing! So much you can do with that theme! My son and I would be so excited to see that 😊
The ending music made me laugh, I usually jam out to the music you put and when I heard tim I cracked up
Thats so crazy how close you guys are! I go to Rosen college which is RIGHT by the new construction! its so cool seeing you guys drive by my everyday life
I like to say thankyou. you have made my sons life easier. we watch your videos to see what he can do in perpair him for what is coming. which makes it easier for him. he has multiple disabilities and loves universal studios. in knowing where we can get his wheelchair in physical rides are makes it alot easier. so thankyou
Excited for HHN - This will be my first time going. SOOOO Looking forward to it. 45days and counting
You're always so fun to watch. I really look forward to your videos

Hi Tim I love your vids at Disney I went a year ago but didn’t see u ur lucky to be at Disney every day and u give good tours of the parks I have subscribed liked and turned on notification and thanks for bieng u
I’m so excited, I hope to see y’all❤️❤️
I'm completely jazzed up about my first visit in October especially because it will be Halloween Horror Nights too! We can't wait.
Can we please appreciate how Tim's hair stayed absolutely perfect for the entirety of this video?
I'm taking my kids over to Florida next year I can't wait.. your videos are excellent to find out more about the theme parks. Would be interesting if you do something on local transport to parks as I won't be hiring car.. I reckon we're talking a good 3 to 4 years before the new Epic universe, opens looks like I've got a lot of saving to do again. Anyway keep the videos coming. 👍 Where your neighbours from oversea 😉 has a nice lady in Florida said to us when we was there last year. From UK 🇬🇧.
We hope to do Halloween horror night 2020 as our three week holiday falls at that time awwwsome but look forward to your videos, hope Jenn is well, and squashy cuddles for bandit xxxx
That ending though....lol....classic tim
A classic monsters land would be siiiiiiick!
It's gonna be amazing and looks bigger than all the other Universal Parks put together!
I'm really excited to see if they add a classic monster area. That would be so cool!

Well it definitely looks like there's a rollercoaster in the HTTYD section (the black one, not the dueling coaster- that attaches to the hub), but since half of that area seems to be cut off, there's absolutely space for them to have something like flight of passage or some other kind of ride as well. It would be super cool if it took us into the Hidden World.

Tim love your blog and that was a cool Mario theme song you did very good
Ever since I saw the third film, I've though The Hidden World would make an awesome dark ride on it's own. It's such a mesmerizing land within the HTTYD universe and that it's so cool being surrounded by all those glowy gemstones. I'm excited just thinking about it.

Now that universal has all of this new land and bringing us some of the classics back...I’d love to see a new rendition of the Jaws Ride. Give us back the best theme park attraction ever made! Universal Hollywood has a small Jaws section in their back lot tour, and Japan has the original ride still, but something jaws related is missing in Florida. Would love to see an animatronic ride and not just screens though.
Very interesting. Like the hotel attached to the park.

I do a lot of paid online surveys (what I make from them is my 'pocket money') Anyway, I remember one a few months back asking about Universal and names for a new park as well as themes - I think they asked about my preference in regards to a themed hotel as well. Some of the themes I remember were Nintendo, Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts, Pokemon, How to train your dragon and I think, Shrek. Wish I could remember more from it now (I do so many though) as it might help with rumours.

Honestly I'm super sad the Hollywood location got rid of the Universal Classic monsters stuff. It would be amazing if that did get to Orlando in some way but I think it's going to be more Nintendo land, how to train your dragon and other stuff. The concept art looks amazing though! I'm sure it'll be wonderful.
