Disney World Is Underestimating Epic Universe

Don't forget how Disney let go of many imagineers and Universal scooped those talented people up :)

Disney: Did we not add like 5 trees in Epcot!?!?!?! What more do you ppl want from us!!!

Ngl its definitely a facade. There is NO way they are not concerned about this.

Universal: How many times do we have to keep teaching you this lesson, old man?

Disney's like "but guys we just gave you Tron - a carbon copy of a ride that already exists and Tiana - a reskin of a ride! What more do you waannnnt?"

How much you wanna bet Disney was hoping covid would've killed off EU or delayed it at least 5 years. Rip

I literally got a Epic Universe ad before this video Edit: Holy Moly!!! That’s a lot of comments and likes!!

Disney’s comments about Epic Universe reminded me of that joke from the Simpsons where the Duff beer ceo claims that people will still buy non-alcoholic beer only to close the factory soon after, because Disney’s new projects would be overshadowed why anything Universal is cranking out.

The closest Disney has gone to competing with Epic Universe is Fantasy Springs, which is an expansion in a Disney park across the globe.

**HOT TAKE** Galaxy’s Edge and Pandora desperately need more immersive feature and qualities. While I like both those IP more than Potter, I will agree that the Wizarding world has better immersion for the average guest. You take the floating rock out of Pandora, you’d never know you’re in a land dedicated to Avatar. You take away the Millennium Falcon, you’d never know you’re in a land dedicated to Star Wars. Even with the bags, bottles, food, etc - it’s not enough to beat the Wizarding World. Which makes me frustrated because ROTR is such a phenomenal feat of Engineering. For Pandora to be so beautiful, vibrant, and full abiotic and biotic factors, there’s no life in that area. Both areas need more “Life”.

I am so stoked for Disney's theme park defeat

If Universal manages to tie attendance numbers with the Magic Kingdom I'm going to lose my mind. Do you know how INSANE that is ?????? Matching and outdoing THE theme park conglomerate that has held #1 for SO MANY years ?? I'll do nothing but congratulate Uni

Disney is just going to make another water interaction attraction. That will compete with Epic Universe....

“Ah yes the past can hurt, but the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it.” - The Lion King 1994, a movie that Disney made yet refuses to take advice from.

While I agree with almost everything you're saying, I also don't know what you expect a spokesperson to say. They aren't going to come out and say Universal is kicking our behinds, they're going to play some gamesmanship. All businesses do this so I would actually be surprised if they admitted the truth. Disney, Universal, all of us know what's going on, we all know Disney is reacting but you won't find spokesmen or leadership admit it publicly verbally. They admit it with their actions and Disney actions is where the admission is.

Yeah, Disney is absolutely screwed, and they know it. They're just far too full of themselves to admit it. What is it going to further take in order for Disney to get its head out of its ass and simply admit it has been failing its fans and shareholders over the last 4-5 years? This is the first time they've really been "challenged" and are now threatened with being usurped by a rival ... to me, they seem to be frozen in fear/shock and simply don't know what to do now.

I talked to a Disney rep at a job recruitment fair. They are terrified

Disney also may think that Epic will have major issues when it opens like previous parks have. But I think Universal has learned that lesson which is why we have a Summer 2025 opening date instead of something sooner. So they can have months to test and work out the bugs before the park opens.

“Sir…they’re opening another park.” “Increase Genie Plus pricing.” “Sir…the park is at stand alone size. It’s not an addition.” “Make a Guardians roller coaster.” “They aren’t even making any more of those movies sir.” “Up Dole Whip by .78.”

Disney vloggers had to shame them into finally cleaning up their newest ride Tron which was looking gross with mold and dirt all over it :| They really got too comfortable IMO with raising their ticket prices without adding much value. I drop around 4-5K every HHN to go with my daughter for 5-7 days and it's always a great experience. Really looking forward to Epic Universe!
