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

    So... uhh... how can we be sure this isn't a major fire hazard? Someone had to ask.

    Universal Stella Nova Resort and Universal Terra Luna Resort

    I mean... it kind of is, considering those two things are directly correlated. A more ambitious hotel would also be more expensive.

    Universal Stella Nova Resort and Universal Terra Luna Resort

    The hotel clearly wasn't ready to open, but we're complaining that rain sounds like rain now?

    "How do I get to Adventureland?" "Oh, see the big buffet? It's just to the right of that." "Where's Avatar?" "I think it's behind the pizza place." "No, seriously." "Yes, seriously."

    None of them are suitable for a large-scale concert.

    You could say the parade is the main, staple characteristic of Mardi Gras, but I'm not convinced it's the main draw. The park is often a relative ghost town on nights where there's no concert, which would indicate it isn't what's driving the bulk of the event's attendance. I don't know why...

    That's like saying HHN doesn't need haunted houses. The concerts aren't just a peripheral aspect of the event, they're often the main reason people are there, particularly when they book a bigger name. Some of the most crowded days I've ever seen at Universal were when the park was filled to the...

    Nintendo partnering with Universal to make attractions.

    My point is that Universal could build a park that emphatically blows away anything Disney has ever done and it wouldn't move the needle. People are far too entrenched in Disney brand loyalty for quality to even matter, and that is exactly how they've gotten away with their decline in recent...

    Corporate parties were never the main use for the stage, Mardi Gras and Rock the Universe are. Until those highly popular events cease to be, there will be a non-negotiable need for a concert stage. Unless the new coaster allows for them to route people between the soundstages & Fallon...

    Nintendo partnering with Universal to make attractions.

    People are that dumb. They go as a once-in-a-lifetime thing because of Disney's reputation as a cultural staple, not because they think they'll enjoy the current state of the parks specifically. They go based on a reputation that is decades old. A majority of Disney guests probably don't even...

    Unless the park is going in a direction that doesn't include special events with concerts, which would be news to me, it isn't going anywhere. It isn't the best day-to-day use of space, but it is nonetheless necessary for said events.

    Rockit isn't in Minion Land. It's officially in New York now, formerly Production Central. But the concert area is really just... the concert area, if we're being honest.

    Nintendo partnering with Universal to make attractions.

    It's the only reason that matters. The vast majority of Disney guests go there because it's Disney, not because they've carefully analyzed how it compares to its competitors (or even itself in years past.) They do not care. They just want to go to Disney. Can you give us your full review of...

    Marvel on the chopping block?

    We don't know what the replacement for USJ's Spider-Man will look like, but more importantly, they aren't going to shut down MSHI just for the sake of cloning it, especially when they aren't legally obligated to do so. Whatever money you'd be saving through existing R&D is immediately going in...

    Someone got overzealous with the New Year's fireworks.

    Rip Ride Rockit Permanently Closing August 18 2025

    It's a weird, arguably even stupid idea for an attraction, starring a very unfunny comedian, but even as a Fallon hater I must admit the attraction itself is reasonably well-executed for what it is, and there's only so much you can do with that space, so I've never understood the resounding...

    Good thing literally no one takes your opinions seriously. What an absurd notion.
