Disney World's Top Rival Needs a Better Sophomore Season
Epic Universe is now a year old. It needs to avoid the terrible twos.
Disney World's Top Rival Needs a Better Sophomore Season
Overview
It's now been a year since Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) officially opened Epic Universe, the first major theme park to open in the U.S. since 2001. The new gated attraction opened with hope, hype, and a dash of hubris. For all that is great at Epic Universe -- and when it does excel, it's next-level fantastic -- it still feels incomplete.
It will get there. Comcast has gone too far to not commit to correcting the shortcomings at Epic Universe. Meanwhile, Disney (NYSE: DIS) can rest easy. Fears that the media stock giant would suffer a decline in turnstile clicks or have to sacrifice margins to keep its Florida resort from fading against Comcast's spotlight haven't materialized.
