I didn’t exactly expect this thing to get started on time but 10 minutes late is getting silly. C’mon guys, let’s get this thing going.
What’re the odds we get an announcement of an Epic Universe expansion or whatever the next big project for Universal Orlando is, tonight? I wouldn’t put it past them to confirm a land dedicated to Wicked, or possibly a confirmation of what’s replacing Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, before the end of the night.
It’s now 6:00 ET, which is the official start time for the live stream. Things haven’t quite gotten rolling yet, not surprising for a live event. We are getting a taste of some of the park’s excellent music, which isn’t a bad way to wait.
I got to experience all of Epic Universe’s attractions when I was there, but the thing that I need to go back and experience more of is the general vibe of the park. Sometimes the best part of a theme park is the feeling you get from it when you’re not doing anything. We probably won’t get much impression of that tonight, considering just how fully packed tonight’s event probably is.
We’re just a few minutes away from the beginning of the official Epic Universe Grand Opening Celebration live stream. Several celebrities were on hand over the last couple of days to “open” the portals to different lands, so we can guess we’ll see them on the Blue Carpet. Beyond that, how the new park will be shown off is unclear, but it should be fun.
