Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

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

I wouldn't expect it to ever happen again. I'd love to be wrong, but I just assumed it was for media only

I refuse to accept this until it’s been disproven.

That’s a lot of work just to do that once and never again.

I hope this ceremony continues. It gives tons of kinetic energy and excitement to start a day at Epic Universe.

Would be a logistical nightmare. Rope drop each day is chaotic enough as it is.

 

[Mad Dog]

Those portal ceremonies (sans fireworks) reminds me of the Renaissance Faire opening scenes before the gates open each day.

No.

Such wasted potential, these are all so damn great.

What time do you guys the the Fireworks may happen. I live close and I was thinking about going to a prime viewing area and pull8ng up the Live stream for the audio.

Obviously the audio would be several seconds behind, I think I would get what they are going for.

FYI- just went to Helios to try and eat at flora taverna and was going to try and stay and watch the fireworks and fountain show from that little deck outside the lobby. There is someone at the front door of the hotel making sure you have a reservation at Helios for tonight and has has a list of everyone’s name staying there. I asked if I can just go in to go to the restaurant and store and they said no one is allowed in until tomorrow unless you are on the list…

9:30? Doesn't get dark enough until 9:30 nowadays. MK's fireworks at 9:20 so roughly that time for an "ideal" display.

Yea it’s kinda booked for media only (mostly) currently, so like the park, isn’t guest accessible today.

 

[UniversalRBLX]

At what time are some of you arriving? I'm planning on being there at 5AM as crazy as it sounds.

 

[LP159]

The fireworks should start around 10-10:15 tonight.

I was thinking about parking at Greenbrier and Sand Lake and walking up to the top of the overpass of Sand Lake over Kirkman.

Do you think they will let us walk over from Stella nova and watch the fireworks from outside the security gate?
