Finished watching, "Epic Ride: The Story of Universal Theme Parks". It's incredibly unusual for a theme park to release such a film, and even more rare for them to include aspects that openly acknowledge missteps and challenges they face. This wasn't a promotional film by any means. It shows the raw and honest view of creators and theme park executives with mistakes, challenges, and all.

My takeaway is that Universal has some of the most creative, tenacious, and brilliant team members in the industry right now. They take on challenges that no one dares to even dream of. They learned from previous mistakes, like all of us do, and pushed forward to create a breathtaking new theme park. Creating theme parks is an art form, but while listening to Universal team members, you can also tell it is an act of love. Love for the fans, the creativity, and passion for the next big thing. To see @G_Prodigy's team conceive and bring to life Universal monsters with such attention to detail is phenomenal.

It was nice to see the history and how it all ties together leading to Epic Universe. I always wondered who Jay Stein was after seeing his name on several buildings at Universal Studios.

Thank you to ALL of the thousands of people who brought us Epic Universe, flaws and all. Lots of work still to do and challenges to overcome, but to see the immense dedication and hard work that was put into this park, it is truly inspirational. It's a feat no one else has accomplished in Orlando for the past 25 years. Be proud of what all of you have accomplished. #UOFistBump to all of you!

Thank you to @jonstronglives for producing such an incredible view of the inner workings, while showing the audience the history of how it all came to be.

Just brilliant. Here's to the next big thing. @UniversalORL

@thatkcguy__ @miasorety @ninaxnashi @Meta I’m certain also buried in the terms are no class actions allowed. No recourse allowed. Courts have repeatedly upheld. People need to stop making their lives around free social media products.

@JessHrtsThmPrks @UniversalORL About time!

[CoasterBrain @CoasterBrain]

@TheSixthBearRug My precious!

[CoasterBrain @CoasterBrain]

@DuelingParkNews That building is also known as “Mexico Control”. The lagoon shows have been controlled from there for many years.

@Attractions How much is Scientology making off of this?

@CoasterK24 It’s morning now! What happened??

[CoasterBrain @CoasterBrain]

@JessHrtsThmPrks

[CoasterBrain @CoasterBrain]

A big #UOFistbump to all the team members over the years that made @UniversalORL what it is today. Happy Birthday!

[CoasterBrain @CoasterBrain]

@CoasterConquest Double Oaked for me.

[CoasterBrain @CoasterBrain]

@Uni_Speaking Careful with those! You’ll miss early entry tomorrow. 🤣

[CoasterBrain @CoasterBrain]

@JessHrtsThmPrks So, by noon for sure. 😎

[CoasterBrain @CoasterBrain]

Although I will always call @UniversalORL home, I plan to visit each of the Universal parks globally over the next several years. Bucket list item for sure.

[CoasterBrain @CoasterBrain]

@AliciaStella They have to thread the Epic/AP needle very carefully. Unlike Disney, Universal has a heavy dependency on APs. Patience is waning for having to buy expensive single day tickets.

Watching @myRixFlix with his Epic live stream.

[CoasterBrain @CoasterBrain]

@magiccitymayhem @UniversalORL I mean....that's almost a different zip code. Will ATC need to approve each dispatch?

[CoasterBrain @CoasterBrain]

@jake_coasters Now, they need to update the ride, especially the video and animatronics.

[CoasterBrain @CoasterBrain]

@bioreconstruct Very sad. Wish they would move it, or even rebrand it to the new theme.

[CoasterBrain @CoasterBrain]

@Uni_Speaking @UniversalORL I’ve been upset with them a time or two, but overall…absolutely no regrets with my Premier pass. Great value to one of the best parks in the world!
