2. Universal's Epic Universe gets cancelled

Though it is rare, theme park projects like WESTCOT, Disney's America, and Universal Studios Dubailand are sometimes cancelled for a variety of reasons, including budget, circumstance, or even squabbles with the local government! And while we hope that Universal's Epic Universe doesn't end up falling into this category, with the future as uncertain as ever, it is certainly possible. However there is another option....

3. Universal's Epic Universe gets reimagined 

Though Universal hasn't released any official details about what lands, attractions, etc. we could see inside Universal's Epic Universe, well placed rumors have said that this park will be getting a copy of Universal Studios Japan's Nintendo Land, as well as immersive Universal’s Classic Monsters, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (an extension of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter), and DreamWorks' How To Train Your Dragon series. Judging from the concept art, these new lands will feature multiple attractions, and be some of the most intricately themed ever created.

However, if Universal decides to move ahead with Universal's Epic Universe in this uncertain landscape while dealing with limited cashflow, we could see this park downsized instead of cancelled, with fewer attractions at opening and room to expand when times are better.  While most of the IPs described above are either already licensed to Universal Parks and Resorts (or owned by parent company Comcast), Universal may pull back some of its more ambitious projects or reimagine them in an effort to keep this project alive. 

Right now, there has been no official news about the Universal's Epic Universe project, but hopefully we will learn more in the near future about the future of this expansion.
