Epic Universe and Hart & Huntington Orlando—Cut From the Same Cosmic Cloth
When the challenge became, what’s next for Universal Studios, Woodbury and his team went beyond the clouds and the stars, as he states, directly to the fans to find out what they wanted. And, the answers were pretty compelling. “Give us more of your great story telling, more of the immersive environments, and do it in the most visceral manner possible.” And so they did.
