They released an artist's rendering of the inside a while back, and it looks really great. Hopefully the real thing can match it.

It also happens to be the one parking area with no grass.... better luck next time

The disappointment just keeps growing and growing. You had one job Universal!

I don't think Universal is messing around this time when it comes to leaks.

Anyone who is foolish enough to try and leak photos or video is going to face some severe repercussions, especially if it's a TM.

This. TMs have been informed of the rules many times.

Well I felt that way until I saw Link in the stained windows, and the store description on the app says "SUPER NINTENDO WORLD characters and more."

I saw one leak of the new Harry Potter land all empty at night on TikTok. It might as well have been the real Paris.

Empty theme park in Paris sounds legit all right.

I feel like Link is just there to throw a bone at the audience. I’d love to see them do something more, I just really doubt Nintendo will let them.

Question for those there or who know: I’m only seeing opinions on Monsters…what about Nintendo or Dragons? Celestial? Any thoughts or reviews of rides?

 

[Steptwice]

I wish they turned the now removed berm area in Celestial Park into a sort of walk through botanical garden-esqe area. Would open up more walking paths, cool park scenery and a chance to get closer to the water.

The most common question I overheard was "have you ridden Stardust?!", in a good way.

Those spray mist fans are going to be very popular in Celestial during the summer, or basically any day that has abundant sunshine.

It's incredible. Obviously some similarities to Velocicoaster, as anyone can probably tell from the overhead shots, but I'd say it's more consistently entertaining than VC, albeit not having as high of a peak (in an entertainment sense, not literally).

That’s great to hear! Notice anything about the reported roughness?

Something that has not been mentioned yet but I've seen several comments that the CelesTiki bar is not good. And one's description to another sums it up.

“What if instead of building a year-round HHN house, they instead built a year-round HHN premixed drink stand?”

The frozen drinks they announced were certainly a bad sign there.

And here is where the spoilers will become truly too much for me to shield against without some pretty major sacrifices; including reading about Epic speculation on here. I mean, at this point we basically have an open park! Not really much to speculate about past this point!

What a wonderful ride this has been over these past years. I vividly remember being backstage during my shifts at Sunset Walk in July 2019, reading speculation threads on here and finally hearing rumblings that Universal's Fantastic Worlds had just been announced! With some vague concept art and everything! So much has changed since then!

This park is a dream come true in so many ways. I hope to be experiencing it first-hand very soon, and whenever I do, I am incredibly excited to return here and share in the excitement and craziness with everyone.

Thanks for a wonderful decade of hype and anticipation! Here's to the future!

Spoiler: Minor Epic Universe spoilers? It's just the parking lot names lol.
