I recently visited EPIC Universe and I loved it. One of my first thoughts was Universal can build an amazing new park with far less IP than Disney and what has Disney World opened since Tron in 2023. With 4 parks the only major attraction they opened was Tiana’s Bayou Adventure which is basically just a redesign of Splash Mountain. I see much more innovation at the overseas Disney Parks. In 2026 Disney World is opening a re-theming Rock n Roller Coaster, Millenium Force, and Soarin and opening a re-furbished Big Thunder Mountain and Buzz Lightyear. I like some of the attractions coming in the future but as someone who brought the family to Disney World every year for vacation we spent our 2025 vacation at Universal Studios, and nothing is drawing us to Disney World in 2026. I read a great book years ago “It’s not the big that eat the small… It’s the fast that eat the slow.” It’s time Disney World shows some urgency in their park development.
