I hope the development and first decade of USF gets a full episode.

I hope the development and first decade of USF gets a full episode.

Hoping it's the Universal equivalent of the Imagineering Story with a realistic look at the parks versus a glorified commercial.

Even though it’s mostly about the history of the parks I hope we get a glimpse of future projects they are working on.

Like a segment at the very end showcasing concept art or some ride ideas.

I think we’ll get 30 seconds with Universal Kids, Horror Unleashed, and UK project at the end. But not expecting much more than that as Epic is grand finale for this series.

Due to the combo of a very likely stardust closure with ministry being closed I went to concierge to request a refund for my preview ticket tomorrow, they agreed before I even told them my reasoning. I also overheard them giving comp tickets to the other parks, etc, Kudos to them for at least doing their best to remedy the shaky preview week so far.

You’re probably but I can dream. Lol

We need more theme park content shows. I miss the old days of Travel Channel...

"Top 10 coasters", "thrill rides/scream machines", "water parks", etc... it was great

I remember being glued to the TV for the WDW Grand Opening Special with Glenn Cambell, Danny Kaye, and Sandy Duncan.

Does it seem silly to anyone else that they built such a low capacity attraction as donkey Kong , after the Nintendo world proved it was popular in Japan? Just seems crazy that Mario kart is the headliner attraction , but most people rush to donkey Kong because the line is so long

 

[Imperius]

Think it’s just a thing based on what Nintendo wanted the ride to be like. Minecart ride made the most sense and it’s probably not possible to do a large train for the jumping effects.
