Didn't I see a line where they said - A universe is bigger than a world so taking a straight shot at Disney? I thought I read that....

BUURRRRRN...quite a few funny GIFs in the replies to this one.

Yes definitely and its fun to create you're own land.

As a parks super fan, the announcement today did nothing for me. I already knew they were building a new park. So meh. So happy one of their big announcements was the starting wage for employees. I guess that's to win political correctness points or whatever. We can't announce a flagship Nintendo land, but our employees will be receiving these starting wages.

Back to waiting for the rest of the hhn houses and scare zones to be announced.

Honestly the $15 / hour pay rate is pure marketing. If Disney goes to that rate for everyone (which it is going to before this park opens) then Universal HAS to match if it wants to keep it's wage earners.

The bigger issue is at what point are these parks going to run out of employees?

"Secret Walt Disney Company Project"

It must really be secret if you don't have any idea. My guess? Texas resort

Seriously, where are they going to find another 14-15,000 people to do this type of work?

I was figuring they would just be the same cost as the cokes throughout the parks. How naive of me.

So .. smaller bottle (these are 12 oz bottles, not 16, right? and more expensive? I guess if you consider them souvenir bottles, the price isnt THAT bad.

It could be a situation like the Grand Californian and DCA at Disneyland where hotel guests have their own separate entrance from the general public.

That's one of the rumors that I have heard. It makes sense, especially if they want to get people to stay at the new hotel vs the old ones and to compete a little against the SW hotel. They will never, unfortunately, be able to build a Wizarding World hotel though.

Really, everyone will drop the first Universal's and it'll just be "Epic Universe" which is cool. UEU is also a decent acronym. The Smart thing about sticking Universe in there is that even when people drop Universal, everyone will still instantly realize it is universal.

I think I am going to start calling it UEU, pronounced phonetically as Ew I could care less about the name, but I just love the potential here, kind of like Alien Swirling Saucers
