DKC 2 is definitely worth a play through, it might be even better than the first. 3 is meh, at least compared to 1 and 2.Have it play at night.
Also this might be sacrilege to being a big Nintendo fan, but when it comes to the original DKC trilogy I’ve only ever played the first game
More than rumor
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.
They don't want to amp up the hype machine until Summer '24 for two reasons.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?

It really is gorgeous. Speaking of surprisingly amazing game music, here's my suggestion for the next Spaceship Earth light show:
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 now. That shouldn't take any longer to set up than a tribute store. It also wouldn't make sense to just leave the finished product shuttered while waiting for an announcement, as they're no longer making money from that store. I'm still surprised they didn't use the actual tribute store space like they did for IOA, but I guess they want to increase access to it.
I'm assuming we will see models and info on the new resorts. I think it's a little more than setting up a tribute store (Again, assumptions and all but this is based on them creating new, more detailed models than one they initially based the park around) Remember, things have changed since that concept art.
It'll fail because nobody will go because it'll be too crowded.
Changing from a store to a preview center would likely be a change in occupancy from Group M Mercantile to Group A Assembly. Change of occupancy triggers a number of code requirements that would help explain the timeline.
Crowding is a concern, but I'm not entirely opposed to an AP reservation system for the first few months. I'm just troubled by the idea that Universal might be "silent" on AP sales that include Epic. They can sell APs and blockout them out the entire summer, I'm fine with that, but remaining entirely silent on it is a concern.
If you don't think Universal will be selling merch here, you crazy lol
Where did I say I don’t think they’ll sell merchandise?
But don't the APs list which parks are included? I would imagine that Epic Universe isn't going to be included in the 2024 AP list. (Unless they allow an upgrade once the park opens). (And I say 2024 because if you purchase an AP late 2024, Epic Universe would be open before it expires)
They will most certainly need to develop a new AP that includes 3 dry parks vs the current 2 that folks have today. In order for an AP to work at Epic, you’d likely need to upgrade to that new 3 park (or 4 if you include VB) ticket to be able to use it at Epic once it opens.
I think the latest they could announce how they are going to handle it is May of this year. Because passes bought in June will certainly be effected.
That's why, we're still a year out from Epic... but the 2025 vacation planning period is opening up in the next few months.
Yup - but that's if Universal releases new APs along the park's opening (or before).
