Universal's new Epic Universe theme park opens in Orlando, offering attractions from significant franchises and setting pressure on Disney. Despite fierce competition, Disney executives remain unfazed, believing it could actually benefit their parks by attracting more visitors to the area. Insiders note that while Universal aims to be a strong competitor, they do not expect to completely overtake Disney. Analysts agree that the introduction of Epic Universe could draw additional tourists, many of whom are likely to visit Disney's Magic Kingdom.
If something is built new in Central Florida, like Epic Universe, and if it brings in additional tourists - I can almost guarantee you that, that new tourist coming into the market is going to have to visit the Magic Kingdom.
Everything is so magnificent...what theme parks should be and could be in the 21st century.
They're not trying to necessarily overtake Disney -...but they want to be a strong and healthy competitor.
Epic Universe could actually be a net positive for Disney World.
