Time (-Turner) is Wizards, (Invincibility) Star is Nintendo, (Full) Moon is Monsters... Which leaves Sun for Dragons, but that one doesn't seem to fit as well.
@@christinebainbridge8774 I actually think with 'sun and moon' they are talking about a day and night cycle, with stars and time referring to how time passes. It's nice :)
It's just milestone after milestone at the moment. Surprised to see the logo up so soon with so little fanfare. Loving your updates, you're the only channel I've clicked the bell for, I literally drop everything when I get that notification.
The amount of thought and consideration that has been given to the parking and park entry is impressive. It certainly won't be fun walking across that massive parking lot, but the park itself will be an oasis.
I swear, every time I see one of these videos in my recommended, I always click on it instantly. Love joining you on this hype journey through Epic's construction.
My wife is terrified about climate change and sea level rise particularly since we live near the coast. I'm using that fear to buy a place in Orlando so we can "avoid sea level rise". I end up being closer to Epic Universe as a result. I see this as a win for both of us 😂
She’s totally right to be terrified about climate change because it’s going to destroy the planet within the next decade. If Trump wins the election, don’t be surprised if climate change destroyed the planet DURING his presidency. Covid and climate change both are the only things anyone should be concerned about at this point.
Absolutely love the coverage of the more "mundane" aspects of Epic Uni site - us nerds love this stuff but the coverage of Epic Uni parking lots is hard to find anywhere else besides Theme Park Stop!!!
I just can't be anymore grateful and excited about epic and the direction universal has gone in the last 5-10 years considering the complete opposite approach disney has taken. True innovation, immersion and quality over cash grabbing re-skins and clones. Thank you universal.
The level of diction, pleasent pace and tone of voice, of respect emanating from Alicia every single freaking time like I swear I'm the biggest fan but I'm also super detailed oriented and every time I focus so hard to find just a little tiny fraction of a mistake or a negative note on these very long, perfectly written educational news and it's always a delight to know she always delivers, thank you for such amazing comrpomise you have to us all and for the incredible work you all do to make this happen but specially you Alicia, people dont know how much effort it takes to get this all done and nowadays you see so much half a jobs around videos sometimes using those horrible narrator computer voices though I'm still skeptical you are so perfect you might be a robot I'm going to need some verification Captcha! 😅😂 Thank you for these amazing updates ❤
Like I can’t even with that website. X supports hate speech by allowing people to say whatever they want. Elon literally supports hate speech, which is literally a form of violence and micro-aggression against BIPOC, LGBQIAS2+, and other marginalized communities. It’s super gross that you’re promoting that website here.
As a kid the parking garage at universal was so exciting to me. It set it apart from Disney. I went to Disney and was so bored and hot walking through the parking lot. I really hope they get rid of the parking lot at Epic
As much as I would love for this to open early 2025, I hope they don’t try to start rushing through everything! I want them to take their time and fit every little detail possible in!
You do a fantastic job Alicia. Something interesting that I just learned from this video that I didn't know before. In America it is a tradition to place the flag on top of a building project once it is topped off like skyscrapers for example. Interesting.
Yeah, the flag and usually a tree branch for topping out. Alot of times its a pine tree branch. I believe the tree branch is related to the wood that it took to build the structure from old times before steel.
@@cuqui999For me, the biggest thing is the Florida heat. The majority of parking in a garage would be covered so it wouldn't be AS bad when i get in my car. The other thing is just the amount of space you take up with a lot just feels like a waste.
@@MeinPillowGuy Parking Garages are super expensive to build and it wasn't in the budget for Epic Universe. I'd rather they spend their budget building a park, not a parking garage. A parking garage will come later on.
Love your videos and get so excited when a new one gets posted. So very excited to finally see the park. Wonder what the next land will be that gets a detailed look from Universal. 😊
Disney better step up their game. Universal is killing it. I’m not even a huge universal fan but the attention to detail etc in this new park is insane
Cant wait to be there in person and to see what the VIP lounge will offer for food. Hopefully they have the same package with breakfast and lunch included. Going October 2025 so we can also go to HHN 😊😊
The courtyard areas are a clear example of learning from past experiences!! Ppl love Starbeezy @ IOA right upfront & The minion’s cafe & VIP lounge in USF so they have a mash up style of both coming to Epic 😮💨🔥🔥🎈🎈🎈
With the expansion land at UEU, I’d be surprised if Universal added more than one additional world to the park. The open plot between Nintendo World and Dark Universe would most likely be used for the expansion of those two lands. The other large plot next to Stardust Racers would be where one additional world could be built. It is a bit of a bottleneck though between Stardust Racers and the Wizarding World. If they added a new world there, the portal would be set back further away from Celestial Park than the other four portals. Universal’s master plan would be to add a 4th theme park where the parking lot for UEU will be and then build parking garages across the street from the two parks that would be connected by bridges spanning over Epic Blvd. All the additional worlds Universal could come up with would be used for that 4th park. Another (4th) gate would add even more revenue for Universal, best for UOR to keep building theme parks.
Going to Disney is so extremely complicated and expensive, anything Universal can do to make the visit easy and ensure lines aren’t outrageous is going to be a big win.
Really excited about this park… but seriously hoping for a more seamless and through putting security process. The current setup at the resort is atrocious.
Every time a new video drops, I think about how you should have more subscribers than you currently do based on the quality of your channel. But I think the coverage you provide on this new theme park is going to help your channel grow to the level it deserves to be. As the hype grows, your channel is going to blow up. Keep up the good work!
Busses will travel between the original resort and Epic Universe, as well as all on-site hotels, via new dedicated bus lanes on the extended Kirkman Rd.
Garages are much more expensive to maintain, but flat parking lots are easy to permit, take care of, and quick/cheap to build. All Walt Disney World theme parks use flat lots. It's easiest for a single park destination. But, when and if they add a second park down here, you better believe they build garages then, as they hold more cars and take up less space!
Another great update by Alicia -- On a side note, the designs of EPIC are top notch but there are only two unique rides. Harry Potter Ministry & Donkey Kong coaster. All other rides are highly themed off the shelf rides and coasters. Dark Universe looks like a great themed land but the Monsters Unchained ride looks like a cross between Transformers ride & Spiderman ride using the kuka arms from Forbidden Journey ride. IMO Monsters Unchained will be a huge disappoinment and the rest of the park will be a "coaster' park. Puzzling that there are not a few "unique" rides.
Motion base ride vehicle on a track, like Spider-Man at Islands of Adventure, themed as an elevator, that can also go up/down a little with huge sets and high tech animatronics. We’ve discussed it a little on the channel!
I would love to see an easter egg of some sort For Theme Park Stop and Bioreconstruct in Epic Universe for all the work that you all have been putting into these updates.
I always see other channels reporting on Epic Universe but if feels like I'd be cheating on this channel if I watched those so I wait until you upload everytime
Be sure you're subscribed, as we have big Epic news coming soon, including another land reveal, park tickets, and the Helios hotel!

Getting a new video from Alicia is like getting a present every time. Thank you for making a rough day better.
That park is going to be so immersive and beautiful. Thanks for keeping us up to date.

Been waiting for the right time when we had the right pics!
I swear every update I’m like “holy shit, they are KILLING it.” Like major props to all the workers 👏🏻👏🏻
Perfect way to relax after a long day working at a surgery center 🙌 🎉😊
Do we know if the Chronos will have any moving parts? Seems unlikely but would be cool to give the entrance some Kinetic Energy
Looks like motors on some of the parts, especially the sun at the top and the coin for Super Nintendo World.
Let’s go Update!!
Omg I love the saying on the Kronos Tower. I hope that is what they put on it because it’s perfect.
I'm pretty sure they will because it's represents the entire back story of Epic Universe. It's a great saying.
this place is going to be absolutely beautiful.
I just love this channel. Thanks for keeping us updated.😊
I am honored to be part of this project.
HERE WE GO!!
Amazing video as always! When do you think the formal Ministry of Magic announcement video will come out?
Hopefully by the very end of this month!

The way my heart sank when I saw that it was a parking lot instead of a parking garage
I’m sure a garage could be a future addition, or a re-do to the existing lots. It’s been done before with Disneyland as well as Universal.
Why though? Elaborate plz

Damn right i was hype about watching a video about a universal parking lot!
Keep up the great work Alicia! 👍
I really like those buildings in the entry area, they have timeless elegance in their design.
Thos is such a kool series of videos. I ❤️ the update videos . keep up the great work Alicia 🙂
Speaking of event spaces, there’s concept art showcasing the One Piece live show from USJ in Epic Universe
Where ?
Another great video. Thank you. Cant wait!!
Yes 🙌 I’ve been itching for a new update
please dont stop these updates, its really pushing me thru til opening!
Love your videos and get so excited when a new one gets posted. So very excited to finally see the park. Wonder what the next land will be that gets a detailed look from Universal. 😊
Another great news update for Epic Universe Alicia
I can attest to the fact that facial scanning works like a charm having been to Universal Beijing recently
I cant wait.. it truly looks Epic !!!!
I somehow misread the title as "Chronos Tower CHOPPED OFF" and came expecting a totally different video!
I cant wait to hear "THE MOVING WALKWAY IS APPROACHING. PLEASE, WATCH TOUR STEP" 🗣️🗣️🗣️📣📣📣🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
Hmmm that long queue for tickets makes it seem like epic universe will not be part of annual passes at least in the beginning
Disney better step up their game. Universal is killing it. I’m not even a huge universal fan but the attention to detail etc in this new park is insane

And here I am watching a video about a parking lot with interest LOL
@ThemeParkStop yet ANOTHER *AMAZING* informative and highly researched video‼️ Thank you, @AliciaStellaNova ‼️
Very surprised there's not a parking garage.
I wonder how they will add to the chronos tower whenever they add new worlds. There seems to be only enough room for the current worlds icons.
With the expansion land at UEU, I’d be surprised if Universal added more than one additional world to the park. The open plot between Nintendo World and Dark Universe would most likely be used for the expansion of those two lands. The other large plot next to Stardust Racers would be where one additional world could be built. It is a bit of a bottleneck though between Stardust Racers and the Wizarding World. If they added a new world there, the portal would be set back further away from Celestial Park than the other four portals.

Another (4th) gate would add even more revenue for Universal, best for UOR to keep building theme parks.
the logo looks so good!
the parking lot is giving me Early MGM Days Vibes. IYKYK
This florida heat needs garages for parking
Covered parking would be better with the hot florida heat, should have done that from the start
Not Alicia totally reading that Chronos Tower text as if it was the "spell" from Poseidon's Fury 👀
Keep checking over my shoulder for Lord Darkenon
Beautiful park ❤
What will happen with face recognizing if the guest be wearing monster makeup? Kkkkk
Hahahahahhaa now that is funny. (Currently Team Members must manually verify any pics that don’t match automatically.)
The secret hack will be to park at the universal garage and take their bus to this area, helps avoid getting into a hot car at the end of the day.
Going to Disney is so extremely complicated and expensive, anything Universal can do to make the visit easy and ensure lines aren’t outrageous is going to be a big win.
Alicias videos are the modern equivalent of Walt using the Disneyland TV show to build excitement for the park.
I need to be there!!
Really excited about this park… but seriously hoping for a more seamless and through putting security process. The current setup at the resort is atrocious.
Can't wait

Keep up the good work!
Thank you!! That means a lot to me.
We’re very spoiled by the parking garages existing at Universal. It’s unlikely that we’ll be using this parking lot at all, if I’m being honest.
agree about current lots. Uncovered parking lot isn't a good idea
Facial tickets would be the only reason an entry way that confined would make sense
Are there any plans for a shuttle (bus/train/boat) from the Universal parks?
Busses will travel between the original resort and Epic Universe, as well as all on-site hotels, via new dedicated bus lanes on the extended Kirkman Rd.
At 2:42 those are definitely motors attached to the chronos center point. That thing is gonna be spinning for sure.
Eeeeeeeeeeee! I’m so excited!
I might come there
If that is going to be a moving walkway I hope this time people put instructions on it like at airports. 😁
Yooo!
I wonder was the decision making process was behind making a flat parking lot and not a garage

That is so cool they put the American flag up. They must be so proud to build such an amazing place.
What do we think the ride in ministry of magic will be? A dark ride or, an indoor roller coaster?
Motion base ride vehicle on a track, like Spider-Man at Islands of Adventure, themed as an elevator, that can also go up/down a little with huge sets and high tech animatronics. We’ve discussed it a little on the channel!
Do you happen to know around when we can expect another official update about Epic and the new hotels from Universal itself?
