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

    Deplorable? That's awfully strong wording to describe a hotel in a theme park, one you haven't even seen yet. :hilarious: I don't like that the hotel is taking up valuable park space, but we're getting into performative outrage territory here. Someone's clearly never been to a Six Flags... or...

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

    I can understand the logic for delaying an announcement (although given how long ago the park itself was announced, I think they're really pushing it and risking a decline in interest) but I don't understand how it's going to take nearly half a year to open the preview center if they're starting...

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

    Does no one else find it incredibly strange that they're starting to prep the preview center at a time when most details of the park still aren't even officially announced yet? 🤷‍♂️ Unless we're getting a big reveal VERY soon, that's putting the cart before the horse.

    Universal Studios new disability pass

    Not all poorly trained park employees fit the "stoner high school student who doesn't take their job seriously" stereotype. Some take their job too seriously and will sometimes go on a power trip on their guests, just like these employees reportedly did. I myself have been yelled at while not...

    Universal Studios new disability pass

    After the way their employees acted? I'd demand a refund for my AP in the strongest of terms. But maybe I have higher expectations than a Six Flags patron.

    Universal Studios new disability pass

    My question is why keep returning to such a terrible park? If they treat you like trash, stop rewarding them with your patronage. Their issues obviously go far beyond this disability pass system, although clearly it isn't helping matters. I wouldn't expect Universal's execution to go quite so...

    The entire Internet is going to be locked behind various paywalls eventually. You'll have to pay for access to each individual website, the same way you have to subscribe to countless streaming services instead of just watching cable. :confused:

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

    I think the internal goal is more trustworthy at this point in time (until they give us a reason to think otherwise.) Marketing saying "Summer" is basically just a safety net that can't leave anyone disappointed, even if they fail to meet their goal badly enough that it opens halfway through the...

    If you want the park open for summer, it makes sense to open it before summer begins. I can't speak on the Disney part.

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

    Kind of weird difference. I wonder what influenced such a decision. Especially when, if one wants to accurately simulate a sizeable waterfall, you kinda need both water & mist.

    Kong - skipping outside portion

    I'm aware there's no one on the trucks. Reducing the number of vehicles a ride is running reduces its number of cycles (and its capacity), allowing a park to cut corners on ops & technical staff & reduce the potential need for repairs as a cost-saving measure. Less esteemed parks do this all the...

    Kong - skipping outside portion

    So this begs the question... Why is there a shortage of trucks? Univeral isn't typically known for understaffing their attractions.

    Universal Announces Texas Resort

    What are they doing to get the point across that it's not meant to be a destination park for people with kids? This name makes it sound *less* regional than the resorts that have cities in their names.

    Universal Announces Texas Resort

    But do they actually want people thinking, "it's the Universal park for kids?" Because that sends the message that they shouldn't take their kids to the other Universal parks. I don't see this name lasting.

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

    How does it "crumble around the borders?" They haven't changed anything about the land's extremities since the Hogwarts Express opened. The only thing I can think of is the view from the restaurant's patio, which was never immersive to begin with, but also wasn't improved by the addition of...

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

    You saw some dancing cars on stationary Kuka arms. You did not see the robocoaster ride system or ride it yourself. What is not clicking here?

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

    Forbidden Journey is not a perfect ride nor my favorite, but coming on here and trashing it is like going onto a movie forum and saying Morbius should've won the Oscar. Prepare to have your unpopular opinion ravaged. So you saw it nearly six whole years after it first debuted in Orlando...

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

    If they do, I imagine it will be something satirical in nature (and in predictable fashion, all the Disney fanboys will fail to see the satire and accuse them of just being copycats.) But they might be past that phase of openly poking fun at Disney. I can't remember the last time they did it.
