Islands of Adventure Previews - 1997

[Kate F]

Earlier today, I found this video of a preview for IoA at Universal Studios in 1997 featuring these little dioramas of both the then upcoming park and CityWalk. As someone who has never known Universal Orlando without either of those things, I found this video very interesting to watch. I’m wondering if they’ll do anything like it for Epic Universe, wouldn’t count on it but it would be neat.



I never knew they did this and I couldn’t help but be fascinated by it. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this video?

Wow! That's very cool. I can picture Universal doing this for Epic Universe. There is rumors that they horror nights store that's right next to Jimmy Fallon and The Mummy will become a preview center.

That occupies the same space as the preview center in this video. It was also the Mummy extended queue which was rarely used.

I remember going in there and seeing everything. Those preview rooms etc. were amazing. It really hyped it all up really well.
