Excellent reminder that everyone in there is currently paying full freight. $180 x 13,000 =$2,340,000.00. Multiply that by 30 days and that’s $70M before you get into food and merchandise. Obviously there’s massive costs with running a park but clearly Universal has made the decision to ensure...

Sorry I misread that!

Owning properties is different than holding rights to properties. For Nintendo and HP, it’s the latter.

What happened on May 21 was meant for VIPs, media, and corporate executives from Comcast and UDX. In addition, your false dichotomy is also failing to address the fact that unlike Bob, Mark isn’t the highest man on the totem pole. Comcast were the ones who green lit this project, and it was/is a...

*Pray tell, how would you do it differently to address the required throughput and canonical requirements I highlighted in my first response to you?

Pray tell, how would you do it differently?

You didn’t read my post. Canonically floos aren’t a mass transportation system. The masses take them, but not all at once like Cosmic’s pre show. When it comes to WWoHP, explaining that you’re taking a floo with 100 people isn’t what JK is going to sign off on.

TLDR: Nothing short of actual fire that doesn’t burn and being physically transported ala teleportation will please you. Your suggestion, while good in a vacuum, doesn’t work in a theme park with 40K people. They send people through in small groups because by canon floos aren’t something...

Because those who enjoy being the contrarian will have a hard time being contrarian.

A lot of you are going to be disappointed when you go to Epic and find the entry portal look/experience nothing like what you’re saying it is.

Great observation. The characters, the themes, the setting, and the aesthetic of the movies just transcends time and generations. The dream of flight is relatable to everybody, dragons have always been cool (bonus: in the series there’s a dragon to match everyone’s personality), adventure is in...

After walking through the land I asked my family for their feelings about the intrusive sightlines, even pointing out Stardust and the Untrainable Dragon show building. They didn’t notice these things until I pointed them out, and even after doing so they didn’t care at all. As we walked back to...

Yeah it’s not a great name to Americans but that’s literally how things like coasters get named in Japan (see: “Flying Fish Coaster” and “Raging Spirits”). Weird thing to get hung up on, but if you haven’t been or understand the culture I could see the issue.

You’re not wrong, but it’s kindof genius they painted the Flying Dinosuar the same colors as the bridge to draw your eyes away from it/make it blend into the background. Honestly I only noticed the bridge when backstage on that side of the park and I honestly forgot about it inside the park...

In Orlando the $’s Universal is going to make off HTTYD merch will probably only be eclipsed by Potter and SNW.

If we’re talking about what can be seen from off the ride, what’s the bigger scar on the horizon: Volcicoaster or the GotG ride building?

Facial recognition lockers at Monsters Unchained, Hiccups Wing Gliders, and Stardust. Only Stardust has metal detectors after the lockers. Dragon Racers has cubbies.

Nice review, but what did you think of the bathrooms? 😉 I’m really going to enjoy reading everyone’s outside perspectives as they roll in, thanks for posting yours.

While the Chronos is the icon of the park, Helios is a focal point.
