Opening date

Because the current opening date has only been told to investors, and is a very unofficial one, it should not be put in the infobox signed, MrWonka Lets talk! 04:43, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adding more detailed descriptions of upcoming rides and lands

Though Universal has only officially announced the Super Nintendo World land, aerial footage and trademarks and patents filed by universal have confirmed the theming of other lands and the names and details of rides and restaurants for a while now. Is it time to add a more detailed description of the upcoming areas of the park based on these sources or at least the Super Nintendo world since that one has been announced by Universal?

"Fourth theme park"?

It seems a little disingenious to name EU as Universal Orlando's "fourth theme park", counting Volcano Bay as a "theme park" when other articles like WDW don't count water parks. Basil the Bat Lord (talk) 02:15, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Late reply, but absolutely correct. It is the fourth park overall, but only the third theme park, as clarified by this USA Today source under the section "What are the four Universal parks?". I'll update the article accordingly. --GoneIn60 (talk) 16:01, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I totally get where you both are coming from however Volcano Bay is classified as the Third Themed Park at Universal.

According to official media Epic Universe is the Fourth Themed Park at Universal Orlando Resort. I'd be happy to research why Disney does it differently, but this encyclopedia entry about Universal's property and should be accurate

AbeBroFez, please see Wikipedia's policy regarding Primary, secondary and tertiary sources. Press releases and other forms of marketing are self-descriptive, which are a type of primary source. We can use reliable primary sources, of course, but with caution. Also read WP:SELFSOURCE to learn about restrictions regarding self-published primary sources that could be making claims that are "self-serving".

In the end, we generally lean more on independent sources, such as the USA Today source, and definitely more on secondary sources, which tend to be one-step removed from primary sources. The source you provided would not trump or override the USA Today source and should not be inserted. I am open to finding better sources, however. Books, magazines, and any other scholarly source would be the best choice here. Thanks. --GoneIn60 (talk) 12:25, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Epic Roads

This video has excellent information about the road and transportation changes coming to the area. Can we please use its content and as a citation? Thanks! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8dAEHUP/ AbeBroFez (talk) 21:32, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AbeBroFez, please read WP:RSSELF and the section right below it, WP:USERG. User-generated content from sites like YouTube, X (Twitter), TikTok, etc., are not acceptable as sources on Wikipedia. There are some exceptions, which you can read about, but those exceptions are pretty rare. If the content they are posting is important enough for inclusion, it is likely to be published elsewhere or to be covered by another reliable source. You may want to consider using the Teahouse in the future for general questions you may have about editing on Wikipedia instead of article talk pages. You're likely to get faster responses, as some article talk pages aren't being watched by that many editors. --GoneIn60 (talk) 12:34, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
