An overview of the new theme park of the Epic Universe of Universal in Orlando

Believe media threshing: Epic Universe, the first new major themed park to open in Florida in the 26 -year -old center, is up to its name, then some.

Honestly, I’m as shocked as you.

But the epic was indeed to remember after having recently spent two days in the epic universe as part of “technical rehearsals”, a type of soft opening. When he officially made his debut on May 22, the estimated property of $ 7 billion and more is expected to reduce the gap between the Universal Orlando Resort, Long The Challenger Brand on the tourism market of $ 92.5 billion in Orlando, and Walt Disney World, which has dominated since its arrival in 1971.

The epic universe, eight years in manufacturing and extent on more than 100 acres, represents a dramatic evolution for the universal, and in some respects, the American theme park industry. It is more interactive, the reflection of consumer obsession for instant gratuity and personalization. It is also more immersive, with a layer on a layer of narration of the front doors by the most distant corner. The theme extends far beyond the rides to include things like music, smells, landscaping, food, cutlery, staff uniforms and even toilets (they are black in an area dedicated to cinema monsters).

Epic Universe will use a facial recognition system on its entry place: more trial and error with tickets or digital fingerprints. The goal is to speed up entry. Facial recognition will also be used for lockers and in express ways for rides.

Adult tickets in one day start at $ 139 and go up to $ 199 during the period of vacation. Express access to rides costs $ 130 to $ 330 per person.
