Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I'm kinda wondering how this board felt about last year's event. It seemed like most people thought it was great but curious to know your guys thoughts. I didn't attend last year because I like, "Eh let's give it a year to work out the kinks," and then I had some pretty bad FOMO haha.

I'm going this year and looking forward but also feeling like I'll be kinda lost, I don't know anything about anime haha. Doesn't bother me too much because I usually like anything Universal does regardless of what it's based on. I am excited for the Universal Monsters and Scooby mashup, I think that'll be great, and of course Potter which is always my thing.

For a first year, I thought last year was a home run. It did have a few kinks to work out around logistics, and the food didn't do much for me, but the actual experiences were top notch.

For my 2 cents, I'd say you should go. Even if I have my gripes I think the experiences themselves will still be well executed, and since you didn't go last year the Waterdeep walk through will be brand new to you. I'm not much for anime either, but I also think the Purge sucks and enjoyed Dangerous Waters at Horror Nights (the first year, at least). Universal always turns out a good stunt show!

The Back to the Future Attraction is I think the great after hours attraction we've ever seen and not sure it will be topped anytime soon

It had soooo much happening, it was impossible to see it all in an hour, even in two rotations your still most likely missing an interaction or show.

D&D is fun, very well themed with a very amazing Puppet with some great lightening for certain scenes that look like your in a movie. I just wish it had more interactions for guests

JJK was fun enough, just needed a photo op with Gojo (thank Universal for having Sailor moon have both this year)

The One Piece Meet and Greets were fantastic, the only issue is the lines were just insane and while I do want to meet them...I had to wait 60-90 mins for them and thats just....alot.

Yoshi was cute but the line moved sooo slowly, I hope they have it faster like the one currently at the park because the current line moves like butter
Didn't care for the game, was a time waster to slow people down from meeting the two colored Yoshi's

Wicked Meet and Greets were also great, just would have liked more Wicked

Star Trek was fun, but I feel like something was missing from making it great. Not sure but the last scene was pretty fun because your on the Bridge and it was cool to see the Alien actors up close.

The Flux Capacitors band in the plaza were great, lots of energy and great song selection. They played a ton of songs from Movies, to the Power Rangers and Pokemon theme songs. To me something like this would be nice to have at USH all the time

HP Meet and Greets, they were super fun and very cool puppets. They did a mini show with the Niffler and that was always fun to watch.

Hogwarts Always - A solid show, and its cool that they switch off who wins...small complaint from what I saw it was always the same order which one happen.....so if you saw the first show it was always Gryffindor for example and wish it was truly random but as a show its cool

Most rides were near walk on's and tried some of the food but nothing I remember that well


For me BTTF carried the the event but had some really strong things to do overall and appreciate all the extra things compared to say a Disney after dark which is mostly just photo ops and meet and greets...with a few small like 10 min shows.

If your a local especially this for me an easy yes to going to the event.

Everything everyone has said already is about what I believe as well. Fan Fest Nights 2025 was spectacular, and for a first year it felt like they already knew what they were doing. This year should be more of the same, perhaps at a slightly smaller scale for certain attractions (I imagine Scooby Doo is going to be a lot shorter and smaller). We have yet to see how this year is going to turn out fully, but I have confidence that even if this year doesn't live up to 2025 it will still be very strong and very well made.
