Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators document their opening day experience at the new Universal Orlando Park, Epic Universe. Approaching the park as casual guests rather than enthusiasts, they explore several themed portals, including Super Nintendo World, How to Train Your Dragon, and Dark Universe. The vlog covers various aspects of a theme park visit, such as navigating crowds, testing ride wait times, and sampling specialty foods like mac and cheese cones and banana pineapple soft serve. They specifically highlight the immersive quality of the lands and the high level of detail in the animatronics and scenery. While they express frustration over the high cost of fast passes that they ultimately did not need due to unexpectedly low crowds, they conclude that the park is an impressive innovation. The creators successfully complete most of their goals, including riding major attractions like Mario Kart and the Ministry of Magic ride, and they express a strong desire to return to see the park at night.

Creator's Key Takeaways

This is literally opening day, so it is going to be a crazy one.

I end up getting the corn chowder, some tuna tart tartar which looks amazing.

This is the best theme park in the world. Disney has a problem and they're going to have to solve it pretty quick.

It's only going to get worse from here.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use facial recognition for quick entry.
Bring a portable fan for heat.
Consider single rider lines for shorter waits.
Book sit-down restaurants in advance.
Get a Gen 2 wand for full interactive features.
