So glad you are doing Universal vids!! Also didn’t know you were a big fan of HTTYD as I am. I can’t wait for that land. Looks very immersive and dragons possible flying around OMG! Please keep make more Universal vids.
I am sooooo excited for Epic Universe! How to train your dragon is in my four favorites on letterboxd. It's a perfect movie imo. Dark Universe might end up being my favorite because all the classic Universal monsters in one ride sounds amazing!
I’m way overly excited to finally see Mario DK and friends at a theme park! It’s just jaw dropping knowing Super Nintendo and universal teamed up to bring them to a theme park. This is so exciting!!! Hope they have even more future plans to expand Nintendo world it’s amazing!
As much as I’d love to go on the opening day. I think it’s a wiser choice to just hold on for a few months while the hype drops just a little bit and then try to get a better package I’m talking about express pass, less crowds, cheaper and overall a most “enjoyable” experience
Absolutely. Why waste money and go on opening day when everyone and their grandma will too. Let the influencers and first adopters be the Guinea pigs. Then when they have figured out the kinks and nuances of the new park and policies, we benefit from their suffering
It's possible. But I'm almost as hyped to see the new attractions at their older parks. Hagrids, VelociCoaster, ect. have yet to do. They're all going to be amazing.
12:26 Understable, but don't let that deter you! I'm a Socal resident and Toadstool Cafe is my favorite restaurant in the park! The Mario burger is soooo gooood
@@oscarblanco-lara205 1 week(Saturday to Saturday) Father’s Day week of June 2025 at Sapphire Falls with 3 park tickets park to park for 2 parks(IOA and US) plus 1 day at Epic also with express passes for 2 days. All in $4,100 for a family of 4. Kids are 9, 10yo. That’s resort, park tickets, and express passes for 2 days.
@@oscarblanco-lara205 when you book your package, you only have to put $200 down And then you have up until 45 days before you check in to have it all paid
It seems the Helios will initially be priced lower to compensate for not offering Unlimited Express Pass, which will be unavailable until the system is finally used within Epic Universe.
As an annual pass holder for both Disney and universal. Disney will probably not get my renewal next year. There is just no perks with being a pass holder like there is for universal. They just seem to take things away and charge you more. So looking forward for epic to open
@@audreymcfarlin6947 I’m beyond excited for that!!!! Just hoping the system doesn’t crash that morning. It was hard getting the Passholder night reservations.
I wonder if Imelda Staunton should wander on the Dolores Uxbridge ride like the way Josh Gad turned up at the Frozen Sind-Along last year (I bet he was allowed on stage).
Sadly I won't be able to see Epic Universe next year. Probably just as well really, because I don't think I'd be able to deal with the madness of the crowds during its first year of operation. But on the bright side, something to look forward to in 2026 already! 😊
I am planning to be at disney around sept-october next year, Do you think the crowds will be too wild?, I was hoping mostly would be at the new universal park but I am scared now 😅
Good morning A.J brea i will be going to epic universe also we are going to how to train your dragon island first how about you guys which island will you be going to first? ALSO may 22nd is the OFFICIAL park opening date announced earlier today
I’m not sure which area I wanna check out first, BUT I think I’m most excited for Dark Universe? Maybe???? It really depends on the day you ask me! Hee hee…
@@dfbbreea touche my partner in crime has a stormfly plushie so she wants to get that signed by stormfly himself so were going there and come on who doesnt wanna be a dragon 🤣
I'm going to say this just once, if the park is what everybody is hoping for . Disney better put the foot on the acceleration and create better rides with good prices, or Universal will over take them in less than one year. I'm very excited for Epic
At least they’re finally ADDING rides instead of replacing rides. Should have left Dinosaur and added the Indiana Jones ride as a new ride, but I’ll at least take a brand new Villians land
Universal is also gonna do the same with their existing parks with the Springfield and lost continent replacements, and then epic expansions. I’m excited to see what they announce once Epic opens
Schloss Frankenstein, and its most infamous fictional resident, are Swiss, at least in the original source material. Where are the fondue and raclette?
I don’t know if I will ever forgive universal. When they first announced Nintendo world years ago the art released showed a legend of Zelda area… where did that go??? I’ll still check this out but I’m still mad!!
Really hope they learned from the Hogwarts ride when they see to be using same tech for the monsters unleashed ride. Freaking hogwarts was closest I've come to puking from a theme park in decades.
I love disney but the way disney world is looking now. . Disney probably wouldn't be in the works of doing so many additions BUT with Epic coming they HAD to step they're game up and THANK GOD. AK needs love, Hollywood you can do in half a day but pay full price (not as much as MK but still a lot) epcot is great, and MK is MK lol
@@richoverstreet6910Probably not the way it’s going to work. Even if IoA and US lost every single customer to EU, it still means they are within Universal Studios as a whole.
One thing Disney does infinitely better than Universal is the height requirements. It makes it so much harder to go when you have young children/toddlers or babies.
You are a little confused. Stella Nova is 300$ a night (Currently). Helios (the big hotel in the park) will be likely around 500$+. For opening weekend im planning to spend like 2k for the Grand Helios. Just to give you some reference for how expensive its going to be.
@@hollybabyyyI see now, I can assure you that’s wrong though 😂. As you can book rooms for the new universal hotels right now (Stella Nova and Terra Luna) and they are almost 400$ a night for opening weekend.
@@hollybabyyyalso it should be noted that the 293$ is the going rate only if you are staying for 4 days lol. So minimum 1200$ for the stay at that rate.
@@johngalvano5895 yea I know that but Disney has too many villains and IP just to add to MK which is why a 5th park dedicated to villains,marvel,planet of the apes, aliens would be better…plus it’s time for a new park it’s been 26 yrs now
I was there with a friend the ride broke down and up again constantly. We wasted 2 hours there and it was a major let down. While I was impress with the physical props. The VR was annoying and more of a distraction to the ride. They should of kept the ride a real dark ride.
I’m unbelievably excited!! Especially for Dark Universe. I’ve been waiting for a land like that my whole life!!
SAME!!
Initially, I was all in on Nintendo. But the more I hear, the more I'm chomping at the bit for Dark Universe.
I so excited for this. Never did a universal week but I have a feeling its gonna need its own week
My understanding is that the dragons flying overhead are drones. I believe it’ll be a daily thing.
So glad you are doing Universal vids!! Also didn’t know you were a big fan of HTTYD as I am. I can’t wait for that land. Looks very immersive and dragons possible flying around OMG! Please keep make more Universal vids.
I can not wait to walk into Epic Universe! 🎉 It’s been so long since we had a new theme park in Orlando!
We need a Bowser meet-n-greet. Please & thank you. 😁

The only reason why we have kept our WDW AP is cause we have two toddler girls. But we prefer Universal.
Yeah and Universal Studios Pass holders will be able to purchase single day tickets October 24. I am super excited!!

This is ridiculously cool
Going in January 2026 can't wait!!!
Wow!!! That looks amazing!
This looks amazing !
Yoshi!!!
WAHOO!!
I love that universal is building the same park in texas. Closer to home, just a state away than a 6 hour flight.
The Harry Potter ride looks like something like the tower of terror ride to me
Honestly surprised How to Train Your Dragon doesn't have a Flight of Passage-esque ride.
I think they’re trying to do less screen stuff cuz people used to criticize universal for too much screens
Guests have requested less screen base rides so that’s the main reason why
New Harry Potter land and Dark Universe are making me crazy
Thank you for the very nice update on the worlds! Do you know if there will be a VIP experience like in the other parks?
Universal has said they'll be releasing that info at a later date, so seems like yes, but no details right now
Dragon Racer Rally sounds like the TMNT ride in Mall of America. Should be a little bit classier than your typical carnival ride.
First. Get my coffee. Slow down video to .75 and enjoy!❤🎉😂
So exciting!
Sounds like a good time and hopefully the competition nudges Disney out of complacency.
Hoped that those who stay in Helios could access Epic at least 2 times.
this place is going to be a crowded nightmare for the first year.
Yeah, they said it would take about a week to do everything in the park. Which means one entire day for each land.
Does anyone know how much a day ticket is going to be
That'll be announced on the 22nd.
I wonder if Imelda Staunton should wander on the Dolores Uxbridge ride like the way Josh Gad turned up at the Frozen Sind-Along last year (I bet he was allowed on stage).

A Zelda land is rumored to eventually replace The Lost Continent at Islands of Adventure.
@@chrisdelgado4621 it would make better sense to be a part of Nintendo world seeing as it is a Nintendo game.
Really hope they learned from the Hogwarts ride when they see to be using same tech for the monsters unleashed ride. Freaking hogwarts was closest I've come to puking from a theme park in decades.
The biggest issue with this park will be trying to figure out what you should do first. 😩
I can’t wait to go! I’m waiting until 2027 or 2028; a girl’s gotta save up. We should expect this park to be pricey.
This should be a cool park. No, it isn’t going to replace Disney, so everyone calm down. Competition is good for everyone.
I think it will cause the other Universal Studio areas to lose visitors more than Disney losing visitors.

Dont you guys think that the park is too big (more walk) than have rides or it s just my perception right now ?
