As far back as 2021, the Theme Park Tourist site made note of five theaters around the UO parks that are barely, if ever, used. Universal’s challenge is the cost of investment in game changing gate crasher attractions – each of which could easily run between $150 million and $200 million.īut the facts are there are already sizable holes in the two parks. The reality about park cannibalization is empirical. In 2010 after a splashy new Potter themed land opened at IOA, attendance jumped at the park by 1.4 million – which (according to the same report) was a million more additional guests than USF. What’s more, take a look at your TEA/AECOM history. You expect consumers to spend another $200 per person (tix, parking, retail and food) to see Jurassic (by that time 26 years old), Potter (already will be available at UEU and 15 years old at IOA) and Minions (whose new attraction is getting trashed in reviews)?Īs was mentioned in previous threads when UO was developing IOA they added KidsZone and MIB at USF specifically so the new park would not gobble up attendance from the old. Me: Your assertion relies on the assumption that a sizable percentage of guests that will come to Epic Universe will be visiting the Universal Orlando resort for the first time. Lots of draw around the resort to keep them from going to Disney. Aaron: All the guests coming around the world for Epic Universe will also be seeing Potter, Jurassic World and Minions for the first time.
