    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    I've never been on it either, likely too intense, but I think it's only fair that everyone familiarizes themselves with the ride's premise. It probably doesn't help that there were no roller coasters in the movies, so it doesn't immediately fit into people's ideas of what the park should look...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    I was around when DCA opened. They prevailing sentiment was "we hate this whole area." Incredicoaster, which is what's pictured, is also largely considered a thematic downgrade from California Screamin'. This meme tends to be accurate, but it's also why I'm so perplexed when the same Disney...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    Well there's no need to speculate. Was it received as a calamity? Or this one? How about something that was far more of an eyesore than either of those Universal attractions?

    You do realize it's off to the side, right? It's not like it's snaking throughout the land itself.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    The only one making a off the wall point here is you. You claimed there's no financial incentive to get the ride open, which is preposterous, because guess what, many customers will have no desire to visit your park until you get your new attraction open. We aren't all brand loyalty zombies who...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    As a consumer, I understand what I like and like what I understand. The two are inseparable, and a desire to spend my money on a given product is what it's all about at the end of the day. If a park is too slow to get a project off the ground because they announced it too early, I don't like it...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    So why build anything new ever? Just continue operating the parks as they are, since they're already making money. Sorry, but I'm not buying this excuse at all. We've had this discussion before -- multiple times probably -- and it just goes to show that you shouldn't announce something until...

    Sir, we're not all uncultured swine. We've seen the John Wick movies.

    I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. This site has ruined me.

    HHN 2024

    I easily could've ordered the waffles, sausage & eggs and even a crappy steak, but I chose not to. Although I genuinely don't know who I stereotyped. Did I "stereotype" conservatives as typically being... conservative? :oops:

    HHN 2024

    I don't think anyone here is actually complaining about the scantily-clad women, just making an observation of the obvious. The complaints are mostly aimed at the often obnoxious younger end of the event's demographic. It is meant to be an adult-oriented event, and it would even be somewhat...

    HHN 2024

    Without getting too political, I just want to say that as I observe the demographics attending HHN, with each passing year, I find myself thinking more and more, "This place would be a conservative's worst nightmare, and not because of the scareactors." I'm able to just shrug it off, but it's...

    HHN 2024

    I was there but dipped around midnight. I didn't see waits quite that low, but it was slow nonetheless. It rained last night and was extra humid, which probably scared a number of people away. It's also the slowest part of the event still. Things will gradually pick back up to opening weekend...

    HHN 2024

    With the lack of FFP Express this year, I'll let you know when I've gotten through all of them, I estimate about a month from now. I may or may not be exaggerating. This stunt has done nothing to relieve the stand-by lines, I can tell you that much with certainty.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    This thread took a weird turn from "Let's talk about the new park" to "Get off my lawn, you sniveling brats!" I think the parks, Universal especially, should be applauded any time they do something without the inclusion of IPs. If anyone has a problem with it, they're simply not the target...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    Well now you're just being silly. There's probably no theme park in existence that keeps a consistent scale between all of its lands. Most fail to keep their scale completely consistent within a single land, no matter how hard they try, including Disney's. We don't refer to any of them as "gated...
