Business Wars · Universal vs Disney: The Battle for Orlando | Epic Rivalry | 4 · 23 Jul 2026 podcast

And, you know, to me, it's a very pointed counterpoint to the Disney universe.

narrative, whether it's right or wrong, I think it's right.

But that these parks have really become for the have and the have mores, not the everyday American.

And, you know, that Universal commercial really said, like, listen, these parks are for everybody.

Well, what gets my blood going is...

I think that Universal and Disney both are in really great places for expansion and sort of escalation.

And I really hope that this continues because as a theme park reporter and someone who enjoys these parks, I'm just like very greedy for whatever is coming next.

So I think we saw the opening salvo of this last year with the opening of

epic universe.

And, you know, Disney has a lot of stuff that they're kind of loading up to challenge them.

Well, you know, those kind of benchmarks are things that, you know, Disney and Universal have typically shied away from.

You know, you'll hear, like, it's the fastest roller coaster.

It's got the tallest drop or whatever.

Right, right.

And I feel like the, you know, Cedar Fair, Six Flags...

you know, monolith as it is now, kind of has the market cornered on that stuff.

So with Universal and Disney, it's really like, how do we make this more immersive?

How do we make this sort of bespoke to only our parks, something that you can only get if you go to Universal or Disney?

And, you know, what I would really love to see, and this is maybe a pipe dream, but is an investment in original IP.

One of the things I love the most about Epic Universe is that the kind of hub land, which is called Celestial Park.
