UOR only cares about what the influencers say...

Why are we shooting balls of green smoke into the sky?

Now we're shooting off fireworks... during the day.

Looked like Colorful Daytime Fireworks like DLP in Paris.

Was it the Same Soundtrack used for Fireworks last night?

 

[brb1006]

Well that was an anti-climatic opening ceremony. Can't top the opening of IOA from 1999.

Yes

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.

It’s bad copy

While small/short I thought it was a really nice opening - recognized each portal (love the characters coming out) and got the hype up with the music, etc. and Spielberg to start it off

Wish they did something like this for WDW's 50th

Best part of that livestream was confirming that Cody Rhodes will spend the rest of his life getting texts from his friends with a picture of the sign whenever they ride Stardust Racers.

Very important that he gets a daily reminder of the worst period of his professional career.

Not at all. Universal wants people to visit more all their parks.

Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry opens with a posted wait time of 240 minutes:

25 Min for Mario? Shorter than expected?

 

[TalkingHead]

It’s crazy that Universal approves artwork like that to commemorate a new park.

Not at all. Universal wants people to visit more all their parks.

And that’s not what the copy said

seems like everyone either in line for MoM or for merch (see the line for merch in Dark Universe is long as people want the vinyl

For anyone keeping track, we are now seeing people critique the art of a poster merchandise item as if it is an atrocious blight on theme parks.

I saw that before UOR started Streaming., felt like the 50th!

 

[TheMaxRebo]

I saw that before UOR started Streaming., felt like the 50th!

also saw the dragon eggs to adopt are already sold out

But yeah, does seem like the 50th where the ride lines were pretty short but the lines for popcorn buckets were crazy long lol

I love the giant inflatables and Spidey Swinging from chopper with Spielberg actaully there(he is getting up there) but I think if you combine the Portal Ceremonies from this week. last night and today's, you get arguably the same on par situation.
