Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

[Jrb1979]

“…for the low, low price of $180/day. You’re welcome!”

If you do all 3 parks the average price is $126/day. No different than Disney with the more days you visit the cheaper it gets.

Found a few high quality photos of the fireworks.

“Tomorrow, Epic Universe becomes yours.”
-Mark Woodbury

Dang, it's depressing to see an entire crowd of phones fighting to record the show instead of y'know, sitting and enjoying the experience

Well the finale kind of made up for the livestream being bad. Overall, I can't say anyone who didn't watch it needs to watch it. Just watch the fireworks finale, the message from Mark Woodbury, and the official park trailer.

Gotta say... UNI still can't match Disney in Fireworks production and staging.. but they certainly tried with scale. The ending finally got better.. but most of it felt pretty grindy instead of emotional punch.

Dusty Sage, Tony Baxter, and NBA star Brook Lopez in the same elevator??!

Everyone in the front row looks like they're on a ride and everyone in the back looks like they're getting their photo taken at the DMV.

I'm impressed that you know Dusty Sage by sight.

Thanks, I still remember when this thread was first created back in 2018. Time flies so fast!

20 minutes until the Grand Opening Day Livestream goes live. Hopefully the hosts are better.

Hosts last night said "see you tomorrow at 7:30am" and talked about getting sleep so...

I’m just happy we are finally allowed to comment on the lack of shade now that it’s opening day and it (surprise!) wasn’t addressed.

5 minutes left

The Universal Orlando and Epic Universe staff must be feeling like this today waiting for the grand opening ceremony.

I mean... it's an outdoor park. I'm not sure what sort of remedies you were expecting. An out-of-place roof? This isn't Singapore.

We're live!

Doesn't CP get an Opening Moment as well??

what I love about Universal and Comcast...is transparency and irreverence.

Bowen Yang confirms the Deathly Diner sketch and talks about what they got wrong and right with the sketch concept.

They even joke about something goes wrong plot of a theme park attraction.

Disney PR is currently/has been too stiff for that.

UOR only cares about what the influencers say...
