    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    People see the name Frankenstein and thats all they need. GSATs are very high, and there's always a mob going in

    Yes that was an eventual plan which never came to be

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    And Lebanon (We used to joke that Israel and Lebanon pavillions would shoot fireworks at each other at night for the show)

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    The art was posted along with the park announcement back in 2019.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    Literally everything on the original art for the park was built except for the Monsters stage show (coaster substituted) and a restaurant (replaced by another restaurant )

    There isn't a bridge - its a solid floor in this building

    DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    The only reason WDW's is so short is simple: People were asking where Pirates was, so Disney scrapped Western River for Pirates. But the land available was too small for a full version so ut was shoe horned it. Thats it. (And a covered queue because they had learned by now). No other fancy reasons.

    All things Universal Studios Hollywood

    Actually Universal went with Marvel over the licensing fees, not Six Flags' contract. Although the difference was just a few percentage points Marvel, nearly bankrupt at the time, offered rights in perpetuity (i.e., forever) which sealed the deal.

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    While distributed by Paramount, the films are owned by LucasFilm (and so Disney). Paramount got a percentage of revenue only.

    All things Universal Studios Hollywood

    They can add or modify and existing attraction so long as as it retains the 1990s comic book look and doesn't cheapen the franchise. However, I'd imagine adding any DC would invoke the second clause.

    All things Universal Studios Hollywood

    You literally said replacing Marvel Superhero Island which would negate the contract and give the rights back to Disney.

    All things Universal Studios Hollywood

    I can't think of a single plus to Universal giving rights to Marvel back to Disney

    Epic Universe is the lowest rated theme park in Orlando

    Good thing social media and the web didn't exist in 1990 or Universal wouldn't even be around today (Not to mention the opening day fiasco at EPCOT Center in 1982)

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    Never had a problem with face scan at Universal. Literally 2 seconds and I'm in. But the security is ****** and parking lot attendants are as close to useless as you can get

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    Depends on the crowds. If it's busy, yes, it runs at the fullest capacity they can manage (and sometimes, if you squeeze, you can even pass theoretical capacity. Not that I eve did that working Pirates in the 70s :D )
