It’s going to be Epic! “Our new park represents the single-largest investment


Comcast NBCUniversal has made in its theme park business and in Florida overall,” said Brian L. Roberts, chairman and chief executive officer of Comcast Corporation. “It reflects the tremendous excitement we have for the future of our theme park business and for our entire company’s future in Florida.” The new theme park will also feature an entertainment


new level of experience that forever changes theme park entertainment. Universals Epic Universe will take guests on a journey where beloved stories expand into vibrant lands – and where that journey is as much a part of their adventure as the ultimate destination.


U


terrifying characters are going to take possession of five scare zones, two haunted houses, a maze and a new walkthrough experience called ‘The Witches Forest’. The Witches Forest is where daredevils enter a forest that lies behind theme area Avalon. “In


T


darkness they walk a 10-minute route across misty winding footpaths”, said David Slob, creative leader entertainment. “The Witches Forest is a place where witches rule and dark rituals are performed. Visitors are warned, because not everybody returns from this haunted forest.” The two haunted houses and the maze have also been given a new Halloween theme. A mad doll


maker has moved into cakewalk attraction Villa Fiasko. “Inside his haunted house called ‘The Dollhouse’ are the dolls as real as life. Whether it’s a good idea or not to go and search for a missing forest ranger in a dark forest, is something those who enter haunted house ‘Fear the Woods’ will discover. If you have the courage to visit our maze ‘Trapped’, you better watch out for vermin. When chased by rat-like creatures you’ll discover that finding your way out of this hellish maze is quite a challenge,” said David. The successful scare


zones - Morgana’s Frozen Souls, Shadows of the Sea, Cirque, DesTroy and Fiesta de los Muertos - return to Toverland this year. A “breathtaking” fireworks display called ‘Discover Your Own Fear’ which depicts the battle between dark and good magic marks the end of the Halloween Nights.


niversal Orlando Resort is building a new, fourth, theme park to be called Universals Epic Universe. The vision: create an entirely


centre, hotels, shops, restaurants and more. It will be located within a larger 750-acre site that nearly doubles Universal’s total available acreage in Central Florida. Universal’s Epic Universe is just a few miles from the existing resort in southwest Orange County. Specifically, it will be south of Sand Lake Road and east of Universal Boulevard, not far from the Orange County Convention Center. Although it had been rumoured that the new park will include lands such as Fantastic Beasts, Nintendo, Universal Monsters, and How to Train Your Dragon, Universal did not address the park’s content. An opening date was not announced.


“Our vision for Epic Universe is historic,”said Tom


Williams, chairman and chief executive officer for Universal Parks & Resorts. “It will build on everything we have done and become the most immersive and innovative theme park we have ever created. It is an investment in our business, our industry, our team members and our community.”


New walkthrough experience during Halloween Nights


overland’s Halloween Nights are going to be greater than ever this year, said a spokesperson for the park, with more scare actors, more Halloween experiences and more evenings. The event starts at 18:30 with a new opening show and after all hell has broken loose, 100


First hybrid coaster and waterslide


Wiegand Water Rides has developed a new ride that combines the thrills of a roller coaster with the fun of a waterslide the design. Called Slide Coaster, the ride straps guests into a roller coaster car before being launched from 0 to 50kph (30 mph) in only a few seconds, with a maximum acceleration up to 0.8 g. Then its time to cool down in a high speed water slide. There are no stairs to climb, no raft to carry. Guests


just enter the closed course on ground level and get shot upwards to the desired height of the ride. The actual length and inclination of the launch track can be extended to meet your specifications. The layouts of the following slides can be custom designed according to any floor plan. Because of the launch, the strong acceleration of 0.8g in the direction of travel is controlled while guaranteeing safety at the same time. Slide Coaster’s new technology allows the riders to experience thrills like never before, upgrading the adrenaline factor in the water park.
