Please no one laugh at me but I’m so stuck on what will the parking icons be for the flat surface parking lot. IE, like Cat in the Hat, Spider-Man, Jaws parking….
The restaurants in Celestial Park. There are so many diverse options themed so appropriately. UEU is sooo fantastic that not everything can be covered in one mega update. Thank you, Stella!
Epic Universe looks like America's version of Tokyo DisneySea--and I couldn't be happier! We've been needing a theme park with the same level of theming and immersion that Tokyo has had for years.
I was able to stay at a Hilton hotel for a few days that was near Epic Universe on Chirstmas vacation and was able to have a room that has a view of it. Even though I went to Disney World every day, it wasn't even the highlight of the vacation. That just shows how excited I am for Epic Universe.
Theme Park Stop is the best for all our updates, this park is looking even more beautiful, absolutely stunning, I adore Disney but if this is the direction Universal is going, they really have got competition on their hands, I hope they step up after observing this with their new projects, Happy New Year Alicia, heres to a great 2025
The dragons tail is gonna look like its on fire since its above the torch. Must be the reason why they want it to move. Love the small details they are adding!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your wonderful updates over the past year, and more. I can't begin to describe the feeling when I see you've loaded a new update. We'll be there from New Zealand for next Thanksgiving.
I can’t believe so many things: -Park opens next year -Cant believe it’s only been two weeks since your last update it felt like forever idk how you do it -Finishing touches are wild to see
OMG, it’s crazy it’s really starting to feel like it’s about to be done. (Well it is, lol). They should have some human testing in just a few months/weeks!! I really can’t wait till there is a bunch of the dragon heads and tails added around Berk! Love how you were able to show the plans with the actual pictures of the animatronic tail. Happy New year, and thanks for all these great updates, can’t wait for the next one.
I have been watching these update videos for a long time now. I know 5/22 will be here before we know it. I just keep on clicking on each of the construction progress of each land. I just cannot wait the park opens up. Five months away. Be here before we know it. The lighting of the park, looks sick from the drone view.
12:42 Those beacon lights were not illuminated like that the other day, only one was illuminated & it was pointing towards the parking lot/Epic Blvd. So it appears that they COULD be controlled to move around, I could see them doing this with the nightly show similar to how they do it with the universal studios nightly show, there’s lights on top of the main entrance sign that spin around & whatnot during the show or whenever else they decide to do it.
This is going to be a beautiful park! I'd want to spend my 1st day there just slowly going around and taking in all the details!!! This could be a photographer's dream with all the little bits here and there, everywhere you look!
We can always look forward to the construction of new lands that will inevitably begin once Epic is done though. Studios and Islands both need work and with Simpsons coming due for replacement we should be eating good with other construction updates for a few years to come.
4:02 I didn't realize how much space there is behind the harry potter land. I wouldn't be surprised if they expand that land in a couple of years to add a roller coaster.
Alicia, your research and updates are the BEST! I love your podcast too! I hope you'll also author the Unofficial Universal Studios touring books every year! Happy new year!🎉
I would just live in Dark Universe at night. Visit all the other lands during the day and at sunset/dusk I would stay there until park close because that area is going to look amazing at night!
Looking Good so far. Those Hotels look nice. I'd like to see how they look on the inside. Will the rooms in both Sella Nova and Terra Luna be identical ?
I can't wait to experience this finished park! At first, I was just excited for Super Nintendo World, especially the Donkey Kong area but now the entire park looks like it's going to be excellent!
This video makes it seem like they could start team member previews by end of January. Maybe mid February at the latest. This is going to move fast now
Planning for September 2025. We went for over 2 weeks almost 3 in October 23, spent 2 at Disney. It just wasn’t what it used to be. Loved our time at universal. It was our first time. Really excited for this new park to!
I cannot believe believe that it is the last video I will be seeing before 2024 comes to an end. So everybody has to be ready for when the opening of epic universe opens on memorial day. I will miss this video that I enjoy watching when the Alicia Stella announces the updates on epic universe so I will miss this video since this is the last video I will see. Epic universe I'm coming very very soon i will see you when the opening of epic universe comes so I will be ready.
Thanks for the great updates. To think, we only have a half dozen or so more of these before the park is opened. I really hope WDW gets their projects out of the ground soon...need something to follow!
I hope technicians figure out what caused the drone attack last week so they won't ground the dragons. That scary clip from Lake Eola was like Futuristic Bodega Bay.
Tot lack of green in the actual park part of the park (Celestial Park) has me worried a bit. That area should be so lush, but will be the last area to receive trees. And by the look of it, there's not so much space to actually plant them. There's quite a bit of concrete. I was under the impression that Celestial Park was going to be so forested.
It looks like they expect long lines with the huge extended cue areas and switchbacks. I’m still not sure how people are supposed to see the entire park while only being able to have a one day ticket. 🤔
I wonder why the sign in Wizarding Paris didn't read Toilettes. Is that so different visitors would not guess it's the restrooms? At Islands Of Adventure lots of people have no idea "Waterworks" next to lockers to rent is the restoom, but here they avoid the French word? Odd.
Epic universe looks beautiful im very excited to check it out althoe i dont think Mario kart is worth waiting more then 30 min i feel very bad for anyone unless they have kids that wait more then that to ride it go to disney if you want darkrides for kids 😄 outher then that i think this park will be a smash hit for universal and it will open manny doors for universals future
It's going to hard to figure out what attraction to visit first. Ideally I'd want to pick the most popular aka the ride that has the longest line lol. Like when my family went to Disney World, one day we went on Rise of the Resistance first and then another day we went on that Avatar flying simulation one. I am going to be that Battle for the Ministry is a strong possibility since I hear the other 2 major HP attracts at Universal and Islands of Adventures are the most popular over there. This is why I'll be depending on channels that talk about these type of things lol.
I saw that they were doing archeological sample digs. The land is very ancient, so they want to make sure they don’t destroy history. So far, they’ve found artifacts from various time periods, including medieval, Roman, and Iron Age!
Happy New Year! What are you most excited to learn more about in 2025!
What the replacement is for my Prince. Darkenon how I miss thee.
Unseal the temple you cowards.
Multi-Day Epic tickets!
Please no one laugh at me but I’m so stuck on what will the parking icons be for the flat surface parking lot. IE, like Cat in the Hat, Spider-Man, Jaws parking….

the park is looking gorgeous!!! can't wait to see the opening!
I instantly click on an Epic Universe update. No hesitation required.
Same! I live in GA and probably won’t make it down there til fall to give crowds time to die down but I’m super excited
@@ryanb4688 I’ll probably make it down there in June of next year or June of 2050.
Yooo FACTS! I thought I was alone! It’s like I get a rush seeing these updates…🤣😎🔥
I scrolled past. Then came back to it🤷
I have hesitation
I tried watching other updates on the park... NO ONE does it like Theme Park Stop! Been watching these updates since the beginning!
Theme Park Stop has THE best status updates on this EPIC project.
To think years ago this was all speculation. Can’t believe we’re almost there!
and to think there’s still more space to add more!!
@@kyzillssmight be intentional. You know. Being a few steps ahead
Seeing this park being built overtime is a major highlight of my day
Epic Universe looks like America's version of Tokyo DisneySea--and I couldn't be happier! We've been needing a theme park with the same level of theming and immersion that Tokyo has had for years.
Preparing to shed some tears after finally stepping foot into this park after the years of updates ❤ It is looking so beautiful
Universal is cooking. Thanks a lot for the updates all throughout the years! Much love.
The switchbacks in Berk sent chills up my spine.
It was horrifying tbh
I imagine that rollercoaster is gonna have a long wait time
I was able to stay at a Hilton hotel for a few days that was near Epic Universe on Chirstmas vacation and was able to have a room that has a view of it. Even though I went to Disney World every day, it wasn't even the highlight of the vacation. That just shows how excited I am for Epic Universe.
11:12 Nice reference to The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man!
I was thinking the same thing
Absolutely.
"Don't leave now. Things are just starting to, HEAT UP!! HAHAHAHA!!"
I hope the expansion to Dark Universe is themed to Creature from the Black Lagoon.
My sisters gave me opening week Epic Tickets as a Christmas gift! SO EXCITED!
Theme Park Stop is the best for all our updates, this park is looking even more beautiful, absolutely stunning, I adore Disney but if this is the direction Universal is going, they really have got competition on their hands, I hope they step up after observing this with their new projects, Happy New Year Alicia, heres to a great 2025
Pieces of rainbow road in the Super Nintendo pipes atop the portal. Nice.
Hard to believe this is the last time we can say Epic Universe is opening NEXT year.
The dragons tail is gonna look like its on fire since its above the torch. Must be the reason why they want it to move. Love the small details they are adding!
I’m blown away at how it’s all coming together and how AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL it all looks! Omg
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your wonderful updates over the past year, and more. I can't begin to describe the feeling when I see you've loaded a new update. We'll be there from New Zealand for next Thanksgiving.
Now we wait on whats replacing hollywood rocket coaster
My money is on something like F&F Hollywood Drift
@@crashcoaster3852or a minion rollercoaster (even though i hope they don’t do that)
who loves them park stop!?!?
The fact that this park is five months away… I’m so excited!
Without question the most beautiful theme park in the world
Happy new year everyone! I can’t believe 2025 is just one day from now…
I can’t believe so many things:
-Park opens next year
-Cant believe it’s only been two weeks since your last update it felt like forever idk how you do it
-Finishing touches are wild to see
I hop yall do a time lapse of a lot of the buildings from ground thru completion
4 more months! lets do this!!
That windmill 😮
Almost time! I probably won't physically go until 2026, but I am transported there in my head. Thank you for such great updates.
"Kick That Fire in the Face"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow omg it’s almost done I feel! Just a few more months yall!! Also thank you theme park stop, you da best ❤❤❤
I've been watching your update videos since the beginning and loved watching the park grow from earth to what it is now thank you

2025 will be Universal’s year. Now bring on Universal Great Britain! ❤
I hope it goes ahead ❤
Thank you so much for everything you do! Your updates are a treasure! Can't wait to go on June 7th. We have are tickets and are so excited!
This is going to be a beautiful park! I'd want to spend my 1st day there just slowly going around and taking in all the details!!! This could be a photographer's dream with all the little bits here and there, everywhere you look!
awesome again! thank you for a great anticipated reviews
They really missed a golden oppty to put in a REAL hotel in the Wizarding world instead of a fake one. A wizard themed hotel would have been so cool!
Your updates are the best!!!
I will be there opening weekend for stella nova, can't wait.
Babe wake up Theme Park Stop has another EU update
11:05 “things are just starting to heat up” Nice
The things are just starting to heat up reference on Fyre Drill makes me so happy
It’s not from the movies it’s from the TV shows, but I would have loved if one said “The chicken is not amused.” 😂
This place looks amazing! Although I'm getting kind of sad that I won't get these updates anymore once the park is done.
We can always look forward to the construction of new lands that will inevitably begin once Epic is done though. Studios and Islands both need work and with Simpsons coming due for replacement we should be eating good with other construction updates for a few years to come.
@@JerseyEmpireGroup I would watch Alicia sTella vids if she commented on the construction of a Twisty Treat or a new WaWa.
@@keouine Same!
They really went above and beyond with the theming
I can't wait for this park to Open!!!😮🎉🎉🎉🙌🏿👏🏾👏🏾🕺🏽🕺🏽😍💜💙🎬
4:02 I didn't realize how much space there is behind the harry potter land. I wouldn't be surprised if they expand that land in a couple of years to add a roller coaster.
Supposedly they’ll might add a Hogwarts Great Hall dining experience that’ll also have a bit of a show or something.
Sleepy snail was my nickname in high school
I cannot wait to see this park open and seriously thank you for all the updates you’ve done. By far my number one source for epic universe updates 🙏🏽
Alicia, your research and updates are the BEST! I love your podcast too! I hope you'll also author the Unofficial Universal Studios touring books every year! Happy new year!🎉
😊thanks for all you do😊
Everything is looking so amazing!
Commenting because I’m enjoying the coverage of the new park
It's so silly but I can barely wait for foam berm replacement updates. Also, blue LEDs are so bright!
BermWatch2025
I know. I know. The suspense is killing me. I hope it will last. I love berms, parapets, retaining walls. and sloughs.
Epic is really coming together i haven't been this excited for a park in years
It's looking fantastic... Thanks for the updates..
I'm a simple person, i see a new epic universe construction video i click
I'm so excited for this park thank you for the updates❤
I would just live in Dark Universe at night. Visit all the other lands during the day and at sunset/dusk I would stay there until park close because that area is going to look amazing at night!
Looking Good so far. Those Hotels look nice. I'd like to see how they look on the inside. Will the rooms in both Sella Nova and Terra Luna be identical ?
"Looking good" is a wild understatement for what Universal has done. Epic Universe will set the bar for the theme park industry globally.
I have no idea how you are this good, but I am here for it... Theme Park Stop is the CNN of Theme Parks....
Great final construction update of 2024 Alicia
Incredible. While Disney did a themed Tiana overlay. They built this whole entire park.
I can't wait to experience this finished park! At first, I was just excited for Super Nintendo World, especially the Donkey Kong area but now the entire park looks like it's going to be excellent!
Excellent and informative video as always.
Beautiful,Amazing Magnificent 😍🪄🦔
This video makes it seem like they could start team member previews by end of January. Maybe mid February at the latest. This is going to move fast now
Crazy to watch it grow from literal dirt to this. Major props to all workers..yall have been kicking ass!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Great coverage as always! Keep up the great work 😎
I’ve just heard about EPIC splash park.. I can’t wait to see how that turns out!
Sleepy snail… awwwwwwwwwwwww that’s so cute
the Helios grand Hotel looks like the Bellagio in Las Vegas
Very cool 😎
5:12 There are covered test seats outside the entrance to Battle at the Ministry 👀
Planning for September 2025. We went for over 2 weeks almost 3 in October 23, spent 2 at Disney. It just wasn’t what it used to be. Loved our time at universal. It was our first time. Really excited for this new park to!

I will miss this video that I enjoy watching when the Alicia Stella announces the updates on epic universe so I will miss this video since this is the last video I will see. Epic universe I'm coming very very soon i will see you when the opening of epic universe comes so I will be ready.
Is the thing on fire drills banner “things are just starting to heat up” an Easter egg?
Imagine if it said “your aim’s worse than your haircut”
@ lmaooooo
Thanks for the great updates. To think, we only have a half dozen or so more of these before the park is opened. I really hope WDW gets their projects out of the ground soon...need something to follow!
Great coverage
Why do I feel like that fire drill boat ride you’ll come off completely soaked like pop eyes
I hope technicians figure out what caused the drone attack last week so they won't ground the dragons. That scary clip from Lake Eola was like Futuristic Bodega Bay.
Was that the one where some drones from a light show suddenly fell down from the air and hit a kid on his chest?
The Nintendo world portal is gonna look so incredible in real life :0
Sad part is now we wont get many updates since now all the construction will be indoors.
I’m loving the competition between Disney and universal cause guess who’s winning in the end, us.
What a time to be alive man
I watch these updates like a weekly tv show lol see ya july 2025

That sign is so important they charmed it so it would read in the viewers' own language. ;)
It's so nuts to see all these areas look so finished after all these years.
The shape of the Human Air Driers looks like a corridor from the refit Enterprise.
Epic universe looks beautiful im very excited to check it out althoe i dont think Mario kart is worth waiting more then 30 min i feel very bad for anyone unless they have kids that wait more then that to ride it go to disney if you want darkrides for kids 😄 outher then that i think this park will be a smash hit for universal and it will open manny doors for universals future

Any updates with the universal uk project, its been quiet for a bit
Only small government meetings, but no change on official info from Universal yet! Still awaiting confirmation before they move forward.
I saw that they were doing archeological sample digs. The land is very ancient, so they want to make sure they don’t destroy history. So far, they’ve found artifacts from various time periods, including medieval, Roman, and Iron Age!
@@UmmYeahOkThat sounds very interesting
I thought the flat green wall looked weird!
