    This is a brilliant idea from Universal, because it ensures crowd control. Which ensures every guest visiting Epic will have a good first experience on the day that they go.

      If Disney did this, the internet haters would call it a "cash grab". This has nothing to do with benefiting the consumer. It has to do with steering business to Comcast's original (and aging) Orlando parks.

    I think this sounds like a good plan. How else do you expect them to control the crowds. The lines are going to be crazy for the next couple of years. I feel like they are about to drop a very expensive pass for the locals to get in to that park. There is just no way the current passes are going to work. I am a local and I never go to Universal, so buying the three day tickets and staying at one of their resorts would work for me.

    • @metallicnole4514

      You can sell single day tickets and limit the amount of tickets sold for a given day. It's not that hard. They can also play around with the numbers in the first month to get an estimate for capacity.

And what about the people staying at that main hotel connected to the park?

  • @TopGunManny
    @TopGunManny Місяць тому +3

    I think it makes sense from the parks perspective. They don't want to full blown open the doors right away and have the crowds just rush it daily. This ensures crowd control and easing into full open. You can probably do a lot with lower crowds than the other option of having full wide open with large crowds.

    • @kaijuguy19
      @kaijuguy19 Місяць тому

      If that's the case then I hope they eventually drop that tactic and allow many days at Epic Universe sooner or later once the crowds are more controlled because having that be the norm there isn't a good way to bring in profits and crowds in the long run. It's bad enough seeing Disney make similar stupid moves at their American parks I don't want to see Universal go down that path.

    People give me a lot of crap because I'm so against Orlando but it's because of shit like this. I can't stand the way they run their parks, in almost every way. Example: HHN Orlando. You wanna buy an express pass, you also have to buy a separate ticket to the event on top of that. They rely on the people wanting this so bad, like Mando said, "This is a dream come true. I just wanna be there no matter what, I just wanna be a part of this." Then they pull this shit. That's why Orlando will never get a minute of my time or a dollar of my money.

    I think one day should be fine to do everything. It’s only 4 lands and like 10 rides, and this strategy is to lower the attendance at epic so the lines shouldn’t be too crazy. What really sucks about this is for people that one have a couple of vacation days that don’t what to spend most of their vacation at universal and want to visit Disney and other parts of Orlando

    • @batlady2

      One day at Epic will not be enough because lines for the top attractions will be 2 to 3 hours long. Especially if they don't offer express pass. If we have to wait in those kind of lines for that amount of time we need at least 2 days. If we live out of state thats not possible.

  • @bowlzie88
    @bowlzie88 Місяць тому +8

    I absolutely get the frustration, but you can't blame Universal for this decision. Many people just downright skip Universal when visiting Orlando. And those that do go, maybe plan 1 or 2 days at their park.
    Not only will this decision prevent their other Parks from being cannibalized by those that only go for one or two days, but it will also require people to dedicate more time to Universal Studios and less time at Disney World.
    Look at it from this perspective. Epic universe is at least 3 times more desirable to visit than their other two parks. Therefore, they could potentially charge 3 times or more for a 1 day park ticket and people would still pay it. Basically, they're giving you two extra days at their other parks for the price of what they could charge to visit Epic Universe once.
    Lastly, I haven't even mentioned Park experience. If they unleash the floodgates and have no restrictions and let everyone spend five, six or 14 days there, it would be an absolute disaster and unenjoyable for everyone.
    It sucks, I get it. But, you can't fault them for trying to implement a smart business strategy that will benefit them as a company. As a consumer. I don't like it either.

  • @Themersive
    @Themersive Місяць тому

    What we got out of it is that you may be able to buy individual days, as it says Universal INTENDS TO EXPAND PRODUCT OFFERINGS TO SINGLE AND MULTI DAY TICKETS INCLUDING EPIC UNIVERSE IN A PHASED APPROACH BASED ON AVAILABILITY. The ticket package seems to be targeting those planning well in advance.
    Here's the thing:
    There is NO WAY that Universal will not allow passholders to buy tickets no matter what, because they wouldn't force AP's into buying tickets when they have a pass already.
    This could all be soft opening stuff for sure. Hopefully, due to all the negativity and confusion glimg about, Universal will clarify this very soon.

    I'm not liking the idea if it's true because it does undermine Universal's goal to have people and families have a week long stay at their parks. I mean how can one stay an entire week at all three parks if you can spend only one day at one of them? Especially when you have the most anticipated parks coming next year. It's one thing if it's only for a while during the first few days/months of Epic Universe's debut opening but to have it be there from here on out isn't a good idea in the long run.

    Universal wants families in there first. A 3 day commitment guarantees the deeper pockets initially. They are fading content creators and locals to start. This is fine as I was doing 3 days anyhow. Although I wanted the option to hop in on my studios and island days so they definitely know people have plans to swarm the park. It will be critical to MAXIMIZE your Epic day so creators gear up for the ultimate all in one day content.
