  1. I watch many Epic Universe construction update videos from many different channels, but I can confirm that yours have the best commentary of the bunch.

  2. I thought dragons would be the most underwhelming area of the park, but I think I was wrong about that. My jaw drops with every bit of information we get for Epic Universe.

  3. Is it just me or can everyone smell the earthy construction smell while watching the videos?

  4. If the Flying dragons actually happen then i guess i will be visiting the states because I love how to train your dragon

  5. The drone tech for the HTTYD land would not be the first time a theme park has incorporated drones with themed elements. When the Rise of the Resistance attraction first opened at galaxy's edge, they used SUV-sized drones (themed to X-wings) for a show in the park promoting its debut… but since then, to my knowledge, they were never used again.
    I hope that if the HTTYD park uses something similar, that it would actually be used routinely. It's such an awesome concept and I hope to see more themed lands using this tech in the future.

  6. Looks great. My only nitpik is that on HtTYD the boards on the ground are too perfectly straight. Everything else has a handmade look, the floor boards look too manufactured. There shouldn't be a single straight board and there should be knots and dark patches all over them if they want it too look natural.

  7. I lovveee the long form update videos! Every single detail makes me happy, thanks for the hard work!

  8. SOO MUCH new stuff in this update, it's gotta be the biggest one. I really hope they use elegant zodiac animal's as the rides in the celestial carousal. I think the contrast between the colors on the stained glass and a sleeker simpler design would look really nice. I'm still most excited for HTTYD though 😊

  9. I agree heavily with @jonathanmowbray923 longer and more detailed videos would b amazing you girls and guys just do it so great on this channel with news and details every tiny thing matters y’all r then best keep it up

  10. Your updates are the best! Thank you so much for building a platform to keep the excitement level sky high!

  11. I hope after this park is opened we end up getting a 3 park wide HHN, that would be amazing.

  12. I don’t know why, but I’m afraid there’s a possibility people won’t flock to it right away. I hope not, but I fear it might have a lifespan similar to Disneyland Paris. Obviously, it is an anticipated park, but is it anticipated in Wizarding World/ Disney numbers?

  13. Thank you for all the great videos, Alicia!!

    I do want you get your thoughts on a somewhat different topic…

    During the Covid-19 pandemic, Florida governor Ron DeFascist refused to force the theme park industry to shut down, which likely cost millions of people their lives (I have no actual evidence for that statement, but I feel it strongly in my heart).

    Since Governor DeFascist will no longer be governor of Florida when Epic Universe opens, how do you think a future governor might handle a future pandemic? Do you think we might get lucky with a governor similar to California’s Gavin Newsom? Newsom did the right thing and forced the California theme park industry to remain closed for over a year (though I honestly think that should have been longer). I would really like to see a similar pandemic response in Florida, even if that means I won’t be able to go to Epic Universe for a few years.

    I don’t even think the theme parks should be open currently, seeing as how Covid is still out there and people are still dying of it. What can I say: I just like to put my money where my ideological mouth is.
    How about you? Would YOU support a governor like Newsom in Florida, even if they shut down the theme park industry? “If it might save just one life,” right?

  14. Absolutely wild to see such a huge park being put together in real time! Loving all these update vids!!
