771: Rides, Rain & Reality: Is Epic Universe Ready for the Spotlight?
Manage episode 482407730 series 2074276
We’re taking you inside our day at the Epic Universe preview at Universal Orlando Resort! From racing through crowds to soaking in the immersive lands (and literal rain), we break down what worked, what didn’t, and what truly surprised us about Universal’s most ambitious park yet.
You’ll hear all about Super Nintendo World’s rocky start to the day, the standout experiences in Dark Universe and Isle of Berk, and what it was like waiting in the incredible queue for Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge. We also share our thoughts on attractions like Monsters Unchained, the beautiful Constellation Carousel in Celestial Park, and our food stops at The Mead Hall, Burning Blade Tavern, and yes—even a a few slices from Pizza Moon.
With real-world times, queue updates, and our honest reactions from the ground, this episode is your firsthand guide to what to expect during an Epic Universe preview—and what we’re hoping improves before the grand opening.
