It’s virtually laborious to consider contemplating how lengthy I’ve been writing about Epic Universe, and the way I as soon as wrote that I used to be afraid it was by no means going to occur, that the world’s latest theme park is sort of right here. Yesterday, single-day tickets to Epic Universe lastly went on sale to most people, forward of the park’s opening in Might. At present, the park hit a specific milestone, so long as you may have a specific humorousness.
Epic Universe will open to the general public on Might 22, 2025, which, when you do the maths, is 69 days from at the moment. You possibly can in all probability guess the place all that is going. An X account that has been counting down the times posted the quantity this morning, and the web did precisely what you’ll count on the web to do.
Is that this mature? No, however until you haven’t any humorousness no matter, it’s nonetheless fairly humorous. Usually, when all people makes the identical joke, it will get much less humorous. Nonetheless, when actually all people is making the identical joke time and again, I’d argue all of it comes again round to turning into hilarious once more.
After all, if we will cease laughing for only a minute, 69 (good) days implies that the Epic Universe shall be open for enterprise in simply over two months. It’s all fairly wonderful contemplating that it doesn’t appear that way back {that a} third theme park at Common Orlando resort was solely only a rumor. Then, after the rumor was ultimately confirmed, development on the park was delayed by the pandemic, throwing into query whether or not or not the park would ever really occur.
Now, not solely is Epic Universe virtually right here, but it surely’s simply the primary of a number of main themed leisure initiatives on the way in which from Common. Later this 12 months, we’ll get Common Horror Unleased in Las Vegas, a everlasting set up of the expertise company have at Halloween Horror Nights at Common Studios Hollywood and Florida. Then there shall be Common Youngsters Resort, which is at the moment underneath development in Texas, a park geared to households with younger kids, which is about to open subsequent 12 months.
However even that’s not all. Common can also be within the early phases of planning a park within the U.Ok. Whereas the European location isn’t a executed deal but, there aren’t any apparent hindrances and the park appears prone to be accepted. Then we will begin the clock once more as we glance ahead a number of years to when that park opens.
