@J_Silkstone @thedippodcast Loving the Epic shoutout

[Universal United Kingdom Resort Updates @USGBUpdates]

Great photo from @ProUniversalUK. 100% a groundbreaking ceremony took place today. Check out the logo on the digger arm. Official UK logo perhaps?

[Jon Miller @jondbm]

@ExpThemePark @tommyhawkins I know it's not as far but tons of international tourists visit the WB Studio Tour. Disneyland Paris is much trickier to get to for much of Europe than UKR will be, and that gets millions of visitors. They won't have any problem attracting people outside of the UK I'm sure.

Universal United Kingdom Resort is a bit of a mouthful, think I preferred Universal Great Britain, but I can see why they did it - but unfair to leave out Northern Ireland.

Whatever the name, I'm still buying an annual pass on day one.

[Jon Miller @jondbm]

The Carousel of Progress changes soundsl great. Can't wait to see the new scenes.

[Jon Miller @jondbm]

Are all the people buying Epic Universe Chronos models all insanely rich or are they just sticking it on credit cards? I've seen so many people wanting to buy it as if $600 for a model is the most normal thing in the world. Must be nice!

@rankingthemouse @jessmarie_253 I 100% agree with this ordering.

[Jon Miller @jondbm]

One year since the greatest theme park day of my life! Take me back!

[Jon Miller @jondbm]

@rankingthemouse I love the shot of him in front of the fountain, it shows they see the potential for him to be Universal's answer to Duffy.

[Jon Miller @jondbm]

@AliciaStella Gonna be an awful lot of well moisturised, manicured and flawlessly made up theme park vloggers after that weekend.

[Jon Miller @jondbm]

@rankingthemouse The ride is going to be soooo quiet with electric cars! I wonder if they will add speakers along the track with 'fake' engine noises to keep that grand prix atmosphere?

[Jon Miller @jondbm]

@brian_armstrong Maybe rethink letting HR vibe code your systems?

[Jon Miller @jondbm]

@brian_armstrong Switching a financial institution's codebase to be vibe coded by non technical people sure is an interesting choice. I'm sure that will have no security confidence ramifications whatsoever.

@FrshBakedDisney @NCBubblehead I don't like it for Star Wars, but I think the analogy they were going for was supposed to be Germany. They lost WW1 and the west enjoyed the roaring 20s, but 15 years after the war a new breed of German fascism had taken control and was conquering Europe.

[Jon Miller @jondbm]

@PeterSciretta @john_murdy Hoping they bring back BTTF next year

[Jon Miller @jondbm]

@rankingthemouse They should make it something they can turn on or off based on demand, like the VQ at Toadstool in Hollywood, and have a terminal you can scan at that issues a return time so you don't need to rely on the app.

[Jon Miller @jondbm]

Nothing better than rope dropping a Universal park you've never been to before

[Jon Miller @jondbm]

Off to Universal Studios Singapore today so as good a time as ever to get back on to theme park Twitter

[Jon Miller @jondbm]

@rankingthemouse Saturday Honda combo, convention only for Friday and Sunday, which is pretty much exactly what I wanted, just had to pay for a higher tier than I hoped for.

Guys if you get to the end of the D23 queue and it says it's redirecting but nothing happens don't panic - it took about a minute but it did eventually send me to the ticket page, it's just slow as anything.
