From the release today:
Epic. It’s a word that gets tossed around a lot in today’s day and age, though not one we use loosely. When we label something as epic, we want that experience to live up to the promise that the word makes. Which is why today we are elated to announce the addition of our fourth theme park, Universal’s Epic Universe, an experience genuinely worthy of its bold moniker.
Universal’s Epic Universe will offer an entirely new level of experiences that will forever redefine theme park entertainment. Guests will venture beyond their wildest imagination, traveling into beloved stories and through vibrant lands on adventures where the journey is as astounding as the destination. The new location will feature a theme park, an entertainment center, hotels, shops, restaurants and more. Ultimately, this expansion will create more space and freedom to let loose and create lasting memories with the people you love.

You're just reading it all wrong.
Read the announcement again in the voices of Bill S. Preston Esquire and Ted (Theodore) Logan. It helps if you imagine it happening on a stage, and the park being somewhere in the vicinity of San Dimas.
Promoter of fog.
Epic is still pretty heavily used in the UK, I didn't realise we were so far behind you.
Nothing to see here. Move along.

I don't think anyone is bitching about anything. No one is saying, "This is gonna suck, I'm not interested."
Bitching about the announcement, not the park per se.
Terrible. It’s a word that gets tossed around a lot in today’s day and age, though not one I use loosely. When I label something as terrible, I want that experience to live up to the promise that the word makes.
It was a terrible announcement.
But hey...at least we know we'll all be able to "let loose"........

Bill and Ted? You are dating yourself dude! This is more like it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN9Dj5tkXAE (40 seconds in)
This sounds a lot like the marketing pitch for Islands of Adventure, just 20+ yrs later.
There is no such thing as a terrible Coaster just ones that haven't been taken care of
Only this time around it's Epic, minus / outside of the announcement!

Ugh... there are still headlines being posted with stupid titles like, "Can a fourth gate topple Disney?" So little critical thinking in the world. Disney and Universal have co-existed for almost 30 years, and will continue to do so. There doesn't have to be a winner or loser. (This is how we approach politics, too.)
