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

[Figments Friend]

This livestream is truly insufferable. The hosts and the amount of forced corporate speak and phrases and wording they annd everyone they’re interviewing are required to use is hitting critical mass. Just an endless spew of bullet points they’re required to get across. Amazing. Incredible. Brilliant. Immersive.

I get that it’s just a big ad for the park but still, corporations really need to dial down this stuff because when they lay it on this heavy, it has the opposite effect of what they’re going for.

This.

It was a bit much, and the hosts were not appealing to me….but a few segments covering the different lands had a few nuggets of interest.

The pyro finale, with Mr. Spielberg’s added commentary, was worth the suffering however.
Nostalgic to me because I recall Steven was there in person to cut the ribbon on Opening Day for Universal’s first Orlando Theme Park all those years ago.

I was surprised there were no in person Speeches or is that Tomorrow Morning?

Just seeing that park come alive with lights and effects... This isnt like Magic Kingdom where the castle is the only focal point, everywhere you looked in that show something in the park was alive with lights or motion. This park has the most potential of any park for a fantastic nighttime show.

Watching the fireworks and park lighting moving in sync with the music makes me wish fireworks wasn't just a one-time thing or only used for special events.

I wonder...if EU would do Fireworks. How many Launch Points could be used on a regular basis? Tonight felt July 4th/NYE to me.

Found a few high quality photos of the fireworks.

Bruh what??????? No matter what this park does, many hate on it.



Watching this video is how most average guests will view the park.

Picking a Carpet Bagger video as an example of an average guest is the most random example I've seen on this site.

It's less about that he's a vlogger. More about how he views the park. He was blown away by just about everything. That's my point is your average guest is likely similar to that.

If you do all 3 parks the average price is $126/day. No different than Disney with the more days you visit the cheaper it gets.

Dang, it's depressing to see an entire crowd of phones fighting to record the show instead of y'know, sitting and enjoying the experience

Well the finale kind of made up for the livestream being bad. Overall, I can't say anyone who didn't watch it needs to watch it. Just watch the fireworks finale, the message from Mark Woodbury, and the official park trailer.

Gotta say... UNI still can't match Disney in Fireworks production and staging.. but they certainly tried with scale. The ending finally got better.. but most of it felt pretty grindy instead of emotional punch.

Everyone in the front row looks like they're on a ride and everyone in the back looks like they're getting their photo taken at the DMV.
