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!!!

[mistlyplays]

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

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

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?"

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.

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

[sarahlamper]

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

***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”.

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.

[cloismagic]

The difference is Universal execs actually care and listen to what fans have to say. They aren’t perfect, but they learn from their mistakes and fallbacks ie, them reiterating that DK mine cart ride won’t have screens bc they realize people prefer rides without them.

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

[NuclearVR]

I am so stoked for Disney's theme park defeat

[rollingcameraproductions]

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.

[jacobsekela]

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.

“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.

I literally got a Epic Universe ad before this video

Edit: Holy Moly!!! That’s a lot of comments and likes!!

[riondrius]

Here’s the difference:
Before Harry Potter people would only plan to do Disney on vacation.
Now most plan several Disney days and 1 Universal.
Next vacation alot of people will plan to do several universal and only 1 or 2 Disney !

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!
