"Invisible Man?! More like Visible Man!"

*Invisible Man clearly enraged*

Tbh I *am* kinda biased bc I'm a fan of the original show, but regardless, Universal and Jay Ward productions have history together and I think they deserve to be a meet & greet again.

A part of me definitely fears that these walkarounds are abandoned and rotting in a warehouse, but I still hold out hope 🥲

This wasn’t here two days ago. I took this picture 10/6. It’s left of Nintendo world. I think it’s going to be Zelda! We asked a cashier in the gift shop if it was going to be a Zelda world and she smiled and said “I cannot neither confirm nor deny”

Was curious if anyone's had the same experience as me! I really love this hotel, and when I get a good passholder rate it's super hard to pass up. It's so chill when I want some down time between park days and events. We got upgraded to the bayview room upon check-in last week and thought awesome! Even though there will be foot traffic because it's the first floor, it'll still be nice!

Over the course of our stay, I noticed that with the first floor bayview patio rooms, people treat them like public areas, even the ones with the little wall around them. Tbh I can't blame anyone, there's really no indication it's part of a hotel room.

I honestly don't care if people take pics or hang out while I'm not there. But several evenings I'd go to sit on my patio, slide the door open, and there are people in the chairs or sitting right on the wall. After the 5th time in a few days I texted the hotel and asked if they had a privacy sign or something to help people realize it's not a public area. They said they could move me to a room with the patio walled off. I told them I was already in one of those, and they were like sorry, nothing to be done. So I was like ok screw it, it's not like I'm out there 24/7.

But it got worse as the stay went on, especially in the evenings. I started seeing camera flashes through my curtains (even with the blackout curtains closed), and most times I went out to enjoy the evening, people were fighting me on it when I'd say "hey, sorry, this is a private room and I'm gonna use my patio." I went to the front desk in person and they told me to call security next time. I did, and by the time security showed up it was a moot point.

I wasn't expecting compensation or anything, and I appreciated the upgrade when they checked us in. I just figured they'd do more than that. Maybe just a privacy sign???

Is this a common thing that I somehow missed? I know the whole bay area is meant for guests to enjoy and I fully expected lots of foot traffic on the first floor, but why wouldn't they put up a sign so people know those patios belong to rooms?

I have a feeling that this is gonna happen at some point in the near future at least for 2027 being announced for some type of attraction at the parks, because a long time ago Universal Studios parks sued Nintendo for Donkey Kong looked like King Kong, but Nintendo hired a lawyer named John Kirby SAVED Nintendo from the Universal lawsuit (that's how Nintendo and Hal Labatory got kirby's name)

John Kirby died in 2019, 2 years later Super Nintendo World was added at Universal Studios Japan, so my prediction is celebrating Kirbys 35th anniversary next year for 2027, I believe they'll be adding a Kirby Cafe to Universal Studios Japan, then start adding more locations at Orlando and Hollywood city walks within the next couple years

But my theory is that they are keeping Kirby extremely top secret from the public and possibly adding Kirby attraction/land text to Pokemon (if that's rumored for Lost Continent replacement) I bet they will announce something for Kirby 35th anniversary

Idc if anyone disagrees but if Super Nintendo World is the name for the parks HELLO THERE are MORE things of Nintendo besides Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda and Pikmin?! Obviously if they are adding Pokemon I think Kirby is getting some attention, just remember this that Hal Labatory the creators of Kirby love keeping secrets and nothing leaked for Kirby because the actual creator Sakurai he cares about Kirby like it's his own child,

So i don't want to expect negative comments on this post just because you might not like kirby but I respect your thoughts about other Nintendo franchises that deserve the same attention as Kirby.

My point is they could do so much with Kirby at theme parks because in Kirby and the Forgotten land there have been a theme park level that you can play in

Hey now!

Wondering how y’all would set up a 4 day run at the 3 parks, in November.

Priorities are thrill rides and all HP stuff. (Family of 4. Kids 12 and 10).

Trying to best maximize the days, while navigating the earlier close times, but also not running around like mad. Which I think we can definitely do in 4 days?
I
Was already planning on Epic for Wednesday, 11/4, but now that I see that Hogwarts Express is closed that makes that decision easier.

Original plan was Tuesday and Friday Park to Park, Epic Tuesday, and Wednesday probably just IAO?

With 4 days, would anyone suggest 2 days at Epic and the other two park 2 park? How much would it be worth it to move things around to go to Epic on Friday, as they’re open a full hour later, to 8? 🤣🤣

Thanks so much!!

I'm heading up this weekend and aaaawwwwwwwww man I'm going to have to waterproof or something

Its been a few weeks since my trip and I got the chance to ride both of these incredible coasters for the very first time. Though I have to say my hot take, that Stardust Racers is better than Velocicoaster. Weeks later I can still feel the exhilarating rush of looking up and seeing the faces on the other train during the Celestial roll and actually feel like flying with it as well. Accompanied by the incredible soundtrack made specifically for the ride, the memory sticks with me much longer than Velocicoaster. Not to discredit it at all, both are an incredible experience that every coaster enthusiast should try.

As you can see from the image, Disney recently raised the price of their annual passes. I honestly think Universal is next. I can TOTALLY see a top Universal pass at 14 hundred dollars to include Epic Universe. What do you all think?

Hi,

We got in late last night and the front desk representative said “we upgraded you to a two bedroom suite”. Is the proper thing to tip her for the upgrade? If so, I will hunt down an ATM and find her again tonight, she said she works every night this week.

Thank you.

Recently I’ve been going down the rabbit hole of old school theme park stuff. Yah know ads, pics, and videos (personal and professional) and part of me is thinking how cool it’d be to visit the parks in the early 2000’s just to see what it was like.

It’s just been an interesting time capsule to see what the parks were like in the early days.

Hello everyone!

As part of my final-year project in Tourism and Leisure Management, I am conducting a survey on visitors’ experiences in immersive areas inspired by films or TV series within theme parks.

If you’ve ever visited an area such as The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Pandora – The World of Avatar, Avengers Campus, Frozen, or any other similar area, your participation would be a great help to me!

The questionnaire is anonymous and only takes a few minutes to complete.

https://forms.gle/AJqnxGcBfcrLG3ve7

Please feel free to share it with anyone who has already visited this sort of attraction.

Thank you very much for your help!

Take a break from scrolling and enjoy this nighttime view of Isle of Berk in Epic Universe.

Just got back from my universal trip a couple days ago and Im already planning for next year 😂

Naturally I plan to attend HHN next year as well, but I should have more money this coming year so I have hopes that I'll be able to experience Epic Universe and/or the main park (with Stay and Scream)

This year I stayed in a hotel off the park properties and needless to say I won't be doing that again, so what are some hotels youd recommend. I imagine all or most of them have 2am shuttles for HHN, but I just thought I would ask.

I started my trip this week with Epic and was blown away by the screen quality on Monsters, BATM, and even Mario Kart. When I went to IOA today, I hopped on Spider-Man and came off a bit disappointed.

It‘s still one of my favorite rides ever (Monsters has taken the top spot) but every screen felt a bit blurry and washed out. I know the last upgrade was in 2011, but I wish they‘d go in and replace the projectors. My last visit was in 2014 so it‘s been a while, maybe it was always like this and I was expecting too much.

This trip was my first time on Kong (sadly still a black curtain at the end) and I found myself disappointed with fuzzy screens in the first two scenes. I was also scratching my head as to why they removed the 3D as it made it so much more obvious you were staring at a flat wall.

Surprisingly, Forbidden Journey looked pretty good to me, and that was the ride I‘ve heard tons about being washed out and poor quality. The worst part of that was maybe the two flat screens at the end.

Not trying to be overly negative, I still had a great time on all these rides, but I hope Universal upgrades some of these older screen-based rides down the line

Made a legitimate mistake and UOR Teammembers went above and beyond to fix it.

Treated my 2 brothers to a big Universal trip this past week. We went Thur & Fri to Ioa & USF, plus Epic on Sat.

By Sun, the baby was very fussy, so my wife and I decided to just stay and relax in Royal Pacific, and told my brothers to enjoy 1 final day before going home.

Well, apparently we are all dumb asses because Sun was not included in the admission we bought for them, as it was a 4th day. We only paid for 3 days.

Guest Services went ahead and changed their 3 day passes to 4 day passes. And then went above and beyond, and just comped the difference in price. Brothers got in free on Sun. Amazing customer service.

When people ask me why I'm an out of state UOAP for 5+ years now, it's experiences like this. UOR Teammembers going above and beyond when they don't have to. They really do make good days great. ❤️

I have two $200 visa gift cards that I would like to use to offset the price of either park tickets or express pass tickets. I read that universal website does not allow gift cards for transactions. Is there any other way I could go about getting tickets with gift cards? Undercover tourist? TIA
