Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

The record apparently was 37 times in one day... I had to beat it!

If you add up all the times you've been on Unchained, then how many times have you been on the ride in total. I've seen you throw out numbers anywhere from 12 to 83 on certain days.

86 times overall.

Word on the street, as of today (which I know it's closed today), there will be Zelda merch at the Epic (beyond just the candy).

Is that cup a freestyle cup?

Question—do you have to do anything special for endurance? I kept hitting my head on the seat on Monsters and had to consciously keep my head leaned back.

Interesting.....

Zelda land confirmed?

They did an opening moment for Berk today, for media (TimTracker IG story), and it was pretty cool! A “Celestian Guide” came out and introduced Celestial Park, and said she is one of the guides you will find here in the park.

She definitely seemed very much in line with what I expected the entertainment in the park to be like, costume, vibes, etc. I hope this is the start of a solidified vision.

I wonder if this is the "brief celebratory moment" that's happening on opening day, but one for each portal?

 

[saint.piss]

That's interesting.

Man I really want that record , and I’m super concerned it will sell out immediately and become scalper fodder.

Same. I hope we get pleasantly surprised.

Has anyone seen this cup? I saw it online a few weeks ago and haven’t seen it posted anywhere since.

Hoping Waxwork releases an online exclusive variant . If not , I’m sure they will press other versions of this down the line. They have their own pressing plant, so they can press based on demand.

Pretty much available throughout Epic Universe only. USF and IOA currently sell a mix of the Jaws 50th and a new Coke-themed one.

Thanks! I just haven’t seen it in any photos of merch from today. So I was curious.

It’s the only regular size Freestyle cup they’ve been offering at Epic so far, so has been at pretty much every restaurant and kiosk with Freestyle machines.

Shameless Plug. We’re there, too.

Guess it's super hot and humid. By 7:30 AM, Savannah & Dylans well coifed hair styles were obviously soaked. By 8:30 AM they looked like they just got off of Popeye's water ride at IOA and Savannah had switched her hair to a ponytail.....Anyway, the Today Show's coverage has been 'epic' and all consuming, with all national and international news just short mentions.....Brie Larson was a guest. She looked almost unrecognizable with super short black hair cut. The absence of her usual long blond hair really made a difference. Looked like just a regular looking girl that you might run into at the supermarket.

Do you guys think they will have a portal opening ceremony (just like the last 2 preview days) without fireworks daily?
