25 Min for Mario? Shorter than expected?

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

 

[TalkingHead]

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!

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

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

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.

Did the flying dragons get cut?

It’s a shame Universal is stuck on the computer rendered look and isn’t in the coffee table book business. The Art of Universal Epic Universe would easily sell.

Is there any footage from IOA's Media Night?...If there was one.....

Up to 300 minutes at Battle at the Ministry, but everything else is super low

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.

I was expecting them to build it like their other parks. People still complain about this in Toy Story Land after 7 years even though it’s been partially addressed.

Only 300 minutes. Not bad for Universal

Ministry is down and has not opened to guests yet, would hate to miss out on it again but the queue is just so loud lol

 

[celluloid]

Don't judge times by today. Park had a a more restricted cap. Much of the fanatic audience is there to buy merch and crowd patterns wild.

Friday thru Sunday will give a better idea gojng forward of what we are in for and weeks after that even more.
