1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:16,000 Welcome to another Universal Orlando Podcast. I'm Nick and I'm Melody and we have no baby here with us currently. 2 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:24,000 I haven't done a baby update in so long. No, you did one in the last episode. I did. Oh, I don't. She kind of made it obvious. 3 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:33,000 She didn't make it obvious. In today's episode, we are talking about a topic. Oh my word. It is our mega episode. We are covering Epic Universe today. 4 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:42,000 We have not covered it much. I don't think we've really talked much about it since our speculation. No, that was a long, long time ago. 5 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:50,000 We did a bonus episode covering the tickets. We do have an update on the tickets. We didn't. Did we cover any of the lands? Nope. 6 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:59,000 Well, today we're covering all the lands, all of the food options that are specifically stated, all of the rides that are specifically stated, anything else. 7 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:10,000 And whatever else we can find. And tickets. We are covering tickets today. Okay. So, before we get into all that, Melody wants to talk to you about our socials. Socials! 8 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:22,000 We are on Instagram and Twitter slash X. You can find us at another Universal podcast on Instagram and another UO pod on Twitter slash X. 9 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:28,000 And we have a YouTube now that we're actually posting to. Oh yeah. Hopefully by the time this goes up, we'll have more than one. 10 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:35,000 We actually have a video up. We do have one video up. And it's not Universal related. 11 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:44,000 It's- As of this recording, there is, what, two weeks of Halloween Horror Nights left, right? Yes. Yeah, there's about two weeks left. 12 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:51,000 And early November. Like early, early November. November 3rd. Okay. One of the houses at a quiet place. 13 00:01:51,000 --> 00:02:00,000 And I made a Twitch account, cause I'm trying to make big bucks being a Twitch streamer. No, you're just- I have nine views. 14 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,000 Gonna roll in the dough. Now, I like playing video games, so I decided why not stream it and post it to our YouTube. 15 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:17,000 So, I'm not gonna bombard you with a whole bunch of Let's Plays. I'll do some games that are interesting. To him. To me. 16 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:26,000 So, the one I'm doing right now, I'm doing a playthrough. It's the A Quiet Place video game. So, if that's interesting to you, come watch it on my channel. 17 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:39,000 I don't talk much, because I turned on the microphone feature. May or may not play games myself, but for me, I would have to do it either late at night or during nap time. Yep. 18 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:51,000 And I also don't do stressful games. No, she does not. So, currently the only game I can think of streaming that we own on our PlayStation is Fall Guy. 19 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:59,000 I might make you play the A Quiet Place video game and just turn off the microphone feature. No. Yes. Nope. Yep. Nope. Yep. Nope. Yep. 20 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:09,000 We'll talk about this later. No, I'm not. But it's a yes. Anyway. I think it'd be fun. Move on. Most streamers you see, oh, they don't get scared of this stuff. 21 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:22,000 It'd be funny watching you play. I would be so annoying to watch, because I am a major chicken, and I don't want to be spookied. We'll see what we can do. 22 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:32,000 We won't do like maybe we can do like shorter videos like the highlights. Move on. OK, I'm being told to move on. So that is our we didn't even plug the YouTube. 23 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:41,000 What's our YouTube? I don't remember. Another universal channel, I think. I think it's another UO podcast on YouTube, because Twitch is different from YouTube. 24 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:49,000 But if you go to our Instagram, I'll have it linked in our link tree. I keep forgetting to put that up. Yes, it's another UO podcast. 25 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:56,000 And the Twitch is another UO channel. No, another universal channel on Twitch. There you go. Shameless plug. 26 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:06,000 Because we couldn't, you know, make it simple. We have a different username for every single thing we're on. It's not my fault things were taken. 27 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:13,000 I might change the YouTube channel name to another UO channel. I kind of like that better. No, another universal channel. 28 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:19,000 OK, we're talking too much about this. Moving on. Tickets. Three day tickets went on sale a couple days ago. 29 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:28,000 You have the option of buying three day tickets where it's Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and one day at Epic Universe. 30 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:35,000 I could do four day tickets where it was Universal Islands, Volcano Bay, one day at Epic. 31 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:41,000 Those were your options. They ranged in prices. Most people were getting like five hundred bucks for the whole thing. 32 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:47,000 Not per day, but for the whole package. It was like one thirty something per day. 33 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:55,000 Anyways, they released single day tickets today for pass holders. So that means we have the prices. Yep. 34 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:01,000 It was a cluster this morning. I'm not going to say the other word because it's a naughty word. You can just say chaotic. 35 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:09,000 It was very chaotic. So last night I'm like, what time should I set my alarm for it? Because I want to go day one. 36 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:16,000 I want to be there May 22nd to experience it. I want to see what an opening day park is like. 37 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,000 I'm glad you're not because from what I've seen this morning. 38 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:30,000 So I set my alarm for six a.m., six fifteen and six thirty because the three day tickets went on sale at six thirty in the morning. 39 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,000 I remember waking up at six a.m. log on to the app seeing that they weren't up yet. 40 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:43,000 And if you're wondering why we have multiple alarms, it's because we have a history of some of our alarms just not going off. 41 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:50,000 No, it's not because of that. I was actually planning on checking at six and then six fifteen and then six thirty. 42 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:58,000 So I would be within a 15 minute window of them going on sale and I would have a better chance of getting them. 43 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:05,000 So anyways, the three day ticket and the four day ticket went on sale at six thirty on Monday, Monday or Tuesday. 44 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,000 It went on sale, but we're pass holders, but we're pass holders. 45 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:15,000 They said, what is today, the 24th? They said Thursday, the October 24th. 46 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,000 Pass holders would get one day ticket opportunity before anybody else. 47 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,000 So I woke up right at six a.m. check the app. 48 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,000 I had a two minute queue and I'm like, great. 49 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000 Maybe they just released them. Get in. 50 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,000 I see a little notification opening day is sold out. 51 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,000 I'm like, great. So I get in line. 52 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,000 I get in the app. Wake me up. 53 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,000 Wake you up. Tell you what's going on. 54 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000 I see May 22nd. I can still click on it. 55 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,000 And it had a price and I could click on it. 56 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,000 So I clicked on it, went through to purchase it, and then it gave me an error. 57 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:58,000 So I'm like, OK, it's for sure sold out because the original plan was just going to be me going on May 22nd. 58 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000 And then we would go on a later Sunday. 59 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:07,000 So instead, I just booked the 25th, May 25th for 160. 60 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,000 Hold on. I have a screenshot. Yeah. 61 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,000 163.65 per person, which is 327.30. 62 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,000 That's a sub. It's another 21 with tax. 63 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000 So I did May 25th, a Sunday. 64 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000 We are both going to be there a few days after it opens. 65 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:28,000 Oh, well, I have one more opportunity to get opening day, though, I think, 66 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,000 because I think when they let the general public go and buy a single day tickets, 67 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,000 I think they may have more opening day. 68 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000 But technically you have even more people. 69 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000 Yeah, I'm going to have even more people to fight against. 70 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000 I have one more shot. 71 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:51,000 Or if somebody cancels their tickets, hopefully that will put it back into the pool of tickets and I can buy that day. 72 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000 But I will. Is that it for tickets? 73 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,000 Oh, should I say what the ticket prices range from? 74 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000 Probably. Oh, so right. 75 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:09,000 So I bought our tickets at six twenty something in the morning at six thirty. 76 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,000 The whole site crashed. 77 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000 I log back on at six thirty and the line is paused. 78 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000 I'm like, who? That's weird. 79 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,000 And somewhere I read that the site crashed and they were trying to get it fixed. 80 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,000 Oh, it was in a little blurb at the top. 81 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,000 So I'm like, wow, I got in right in time around like eight o'clock in the morning, I think. 82 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:37,000 Seven thirty eight. The line opened back up and it was like a four hour queue. 83 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:42,000 I checked. It was seven thirty. No, it was eight. 84 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,000 And it said your wait is more than an hour. 85 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:53,000 And it gave me a time when I might be in, you know, able to purchase tickets. 86 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,000 And it was like after twelve o'clock closer to one o'clock. 87 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,000 And I'm like, wow, that's very convenient that I was able to buy tickets. 88 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000 Anyways, so we're for sure going the twenty fifth. 89 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:10,000 Hopefully I got my confirmation number, but they said it's supposed to show up in your wallet on the app. 90 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000 And it has yet to show up in my wallet on the app. 91 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000 So I'm going to give it some time. 92 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:22,000 A one day Universal Epic Universe ticket starts at one twenty one fifteen per day per adult. 93 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,000 An adult is 10 plus 10 years and up. 94 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:33,000 A child, which is three to nine, is one hundred and sixteen ninety per day. 95 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,000 Why do they do that? What make a child just like five dollars cheaper? 96 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:46,000 I don't know. Maybe because kids in that age range can't ride everything, but they can still have a super enjoyable time. 97 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,000 So they make it slightly cheaper because they can't go on stuff like Velocicoaster. 98 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,000 At that point, just make it like 20 bucks cheaper and actually make it worth it. 99 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000 Anyways, it's fine. 100 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000 So on. Here's another thing. 101 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:07,000 So the way it works is you go on the app as a pass holder, you click profile and you see this little banner underneath like your dining 102 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,000 reservations, your parking reminder, all those buttons. 103 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:15,000 There's a button that says pass holder and then it says Universal Epic Universe single day admission for pass holders on sale now. 104 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,000 You click on that banner. 105 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,000 It redirects you to the filter tickets. 106 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,000 And then the only option you have is Epic Universe and days visiting is one day. 107 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:33,000 And then you just hit apply filter and then you scroll down and then you have what I just told you, the adult ticket price and the child ticket price. 108 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,000 And you can click plus one for adult and plus one for child. 109 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000 That is it. 110 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,000 You can't add two adults or three adults. 111 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:55,000 So the workaround, I don't know if this is going to be a glitch by the time this episode comes out, but the workaround is you just hit one adult or if you have a child to one child. 112 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,000 And then it brings you to the calendar where you select your day. 113 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:08,000 So while we're here, the ticket prices, the 25th is 164 with the majority of prices being in the $156 range. 114 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:13,000 I see no $120 tickets. 115 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,000 Scratch it. 116 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000 I found some in September. 117 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:24,000 September is 122 on Tuesday the 2nd through Tuesday the 4th. 118 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:36,000 Most of September is 126 and they have tickets all the way up until December of 2025 with December 31st being unavailable. 119 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000 So anyways, the workaround. 120 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,000 You hit, let's just say my day, May 25th. 121 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000 You click add to cart. 122 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,000 Now here is where you hit adult ticket and child ticket and you can add. 123 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,000 You hit one. 124 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,000 Oh, wait, my app is glitching. 125 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:59,000 Okay, you go to the cart where I added it and then you can add more than one. 126 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,000 But the max you can get is six. 127 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,000 That is all. 128 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,000 Okay. 129 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,000 Is that it for tickets?

It's a multi-sensor. 275 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:38,000 Okay, from the picture that I just saw, it looked like there's a line that goes to the doorways. 276 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000 So maybe that's how they fixed the bottleneck is they have a line to go through it. 277 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,000 So it's not just people cramming and pushing each other out of the way to get through a doorway. 278 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000 They have a line for the platform too. 279 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000 Okay, but it's still a line. 280 00:19:52,000 --> 00:20:00,000 Yes, it's stopped and slow, but it's more organized and just people pushing in diagonally. 281 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,000 That's not what I'm- what? 282 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,000 The entrance. 283 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,000 Yeah, I know. 284 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:11,000 I'm just- no, my point is, when you go through the entrance for the platform, everybody stops and takes a picture. 285 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,000 Yeah, it's one door, but my point is, this is a brand new attraction. 286 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:23,000 Day one, if this is truly a thing like the platform, everybody's just gonna stop and try and take a picture there. 287 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,000 Yeah, it's gonna take a while. Oh well. 288 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:32,000 The gas will be fully engulfed. It really makes the flames fly up right now. 289 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000 It's fine. 290 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000 Oh, they just said you're gonna be fully engulfed. 291 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,000 Mm-hmm. 292 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,000 You thought it was gonna be a projection. So maybe it's fog. 293 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:47,000 Maybe. Like I said, it's something to make the green fire, but then like air blowing at you. 294 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,000 I guess. Moving on. 295 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,000 Warm air, like- 296 00:20:49,000 --> 00:21:00,000 Wait, fog shoots up so you can't see. It's like the water vapor fog, so it's okay to breathe in. 297 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,000 Uh-huh. 298 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,000 But the platform spins you around real quick, and then you're on the other side. 299 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,000 I hope not. 300 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,000 Why? 301 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000 Because that's disorienting. 302 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,000 So? 303 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,000 No, just walk through. Make it simple and easier for people. 304 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:21,000 Also, you would have, if it spun you around, then you too would also have to turn around and walk out. 305 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,000 Huh? No. 306 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,000 Yes? 307 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:30,000 You stand on the platform. Okay, pretend, so I stand on the platform. I'm looking out at you. 308 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,000 Things shoot up. Platform spins 180 degrees. 309 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,000 Then you're facing away from me. 310 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,000 What? Okay. 311 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,000 If you walk into a doorway- 312 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,000 I don't think you're understanding. 313 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,000 And then the doorway spins 180, then you're facing back the way you came in. 314 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,000 What? No. 315 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,000 Do I need to stand up and show you? 316 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000 I'm gonna stand up and show you. 317 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,000 I'm taking Melody's mic now. 318 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,000 This is the line to get into the flu network. The flu is right in front of me, correct? 319 00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,000 Uh-huh. 320 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,000 I come in. I'm so happy. I'm in Epic Universe. 321 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:08,000 I turn around, because, you know, there's a brick wall right here, because, you know, it's a fireplace. 322 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,000 I turn around. I throw my dust at the ground like in the movie. 323 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:18,000 But I'm standing on a platform. The wall behind me spins. 324 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000 180 degrees. 325 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,000 And now I'm facing a totally new room. 326 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,000 Do you understand? 327 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,000 Okay, you know that- Rise of Resistance. 328 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,000 Do you know the rise of- Oh, right. Melody wants to talk now. 329 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000 I forgot I took your mic. 330 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,000 Yes, I understand. It's just the way that it works. 331 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,000 Oh, I guess they do go in the fireplace and then turn around. 332 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:48,000 Okay, because the way I thought it was, you go into the fireplace and then you're just still walking straight. 333 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,000 You didn't need to turn. 334 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,000 No. That's platformer nine and three quarters. 335 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,000 Fine. But what about people who have mobility problems? 336 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,000 They go through a separate door. 337 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,000 Well, that's boring. 338 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,000 Right, but- 339 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000 If you're just going straight through, it would be easier. 340 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,000 People who have mobility problems going through platformer nine and three quarters, they just take an elevator. 341 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,000 Fine. 342 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,000 They're not, you know, they'll do stuff like that. 343 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:14,000 People who have mobility issues know they're not going to get the full Q experience. 344 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:20,000 Because at some point they'll either need to take like an elevator or a separate route or something like that. 345 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000 Fine. Continue? 346 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,000 Fine. 347 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:30,000 The crucial moment and help save the Parrot Monitor and the Battle of the Ministry is an amazing new attraction. 348 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,000 It represents- 349 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,000 Okay, take a look at that. Hold on. 350 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000 Keep playing it until you can see the whole line. 351 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,000 Okay. 352 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,000 While it's waiting to load, it's like the Rise of the Resistance ride. 353 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000 You get on the transport ship. 354 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000 You don't feel the ship moving, but it's rotating you 180 degrees. 355 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,000 Oh yeah, this is going to spoil the magic, just saying. 356 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,000 It's rotating you 180 degrees. 357 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:56,000 You walk out the same doors you came in, but you're in a different room now. 358 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:02,000 And I couldn't wrap my head around that when I went on it. 359 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,000 Until you learned? 360 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,000 Until I watched a video explaining it. 361 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,000 That is- 362 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,000 Pause it. Right there. Okay. 363 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,000 You have the ride queue right there. 364 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:19,000 And it makes it seem like you can just meander through the ministry on the right hand side. 365 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,000 You can see how people are just casually walking around, 366 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:28,000 whereas the people on the left right there are in a specific queue. 367 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:36,000 So I wonder what is there to do in the ministry that isn't the ride, other than just looking around. 368 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,000 I wonder if there's going to be shops in there, maybe eateries. 369 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,000 You read the books. Is there anything in the ministry that would be like a shop? 370 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,000 Definitely not shop-wise, because it's a workplace. 371 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,000 Right. Do they have a cafeteria you can eat in? 372 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,000 That's the only thematic thing, I guess. 373 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:59,000 So I wonder what there- obviously there's probably going to be one spots to- 374 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:05,000 It also could be the exit of the ride, where you walk back out of the ministry area as you exit the ride. 375 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:12,000 Oh, it could be. But you can tell how some people are walking, but some people are just standing there. 376 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,000 And then the dude in the wheelchair is just sitting there. 377 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:22,000 Or it could just all be ride line and that was just an idea. 378 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000 It could be. Alright, moving on. 379 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:31,000 This is a new attraction. It represents the decades of innovation that the mission has created. 380 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,000 The story takes place after Voldemort has been defeated. 381 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:41,000 Finally, this is the day in which Davoris Umbridge is standing trial for her crimes against the Wizarding World. 382 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:47,000 As we board our elevator lift, we end up realizing that Umbridge has escaped. 383 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:53,000 Guests join Harry, Ron, and Hermione on a quest to capture Dolores Umbridge and stop her from breathing. 384 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,000 Oh, I thought I paused at the end of the sentence. 385 00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:02,000 I find this funny. You're going in an elevator, that's your ride vehicle. 386 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,000 But you're going to be sitting down in an elevator. 387 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000 Yeah, that's going to be a little weird. 388 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,000 But I mean there's also what Tower of Terror, which is kind of the same thing. 389 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000 Yeah. I just find it funny. 390 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:23,000 The way this ride was explained, someone I think found the schematics for this ride. 391 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,000 And I could be completely wrong, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. 392 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:34,000 The way this ride I think works is it's like you have your main tube right here. 393 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:41,000 Your ride gets put in the tube, you go up, you get pulled in, and the tube has all of these offshoots. 394 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:48,000 And you go in, you go up, you go into a different offshoot, you do that scene. 395 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:55,000 You get pulled back, go up, do a different scene, and it's basically just a huge rotation of... 396 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,000 Watching different scenes. 397 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,000 Watching different scenes and just going up and up and rotating around doing different scenes. 398 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,000 How do you get back down? 399 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:09,000 Well I think it's like you go up, you go into one, you come out, you rotate, and you spiral up, and then you kind of spiral. 400 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,000 I don't know. 401 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,000 It made sense when I heard it. I'm like, oh, that's a really good idea. 402 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,000 Okay. Continuing. 403 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:23,000 The time of Orpul. It's a heart pounding adventure and is on a scale that we haven't been able to... 404 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,000 Yeah, see how... 405 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:31,000 You'll be right in the middle of this giant battle against umbrage and death eaters of the entire Ministry. 406 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:38,000 We're combining so many different and new technologies for this adventure to life at a scale never seen before. 407 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:44,000 This is the most ambitious ride we've ever ridden. It's an absolute game changer. 408 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:52,000 I was on site and I actually just took a moment to step back and stare at what we're building because it's nuts. 409 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,000 All the people who get to see it beforehand are so lucky. 410 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,000 Mmhmm. 411 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:05,000 Diagon Alley to the Ministry of Magic. We've continued to bring the storytelling to the next level. 412 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:12,000 Epic Universe is all about immersing our guests in these larger than life worlds, creating a space that guests are going to... 413 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,000 Niffler. 414 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:25,000 ...for decades to come is so special. And doing it with stories as powerful as Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts is just a once in a lifetime opportunity that I'm so grateful to be part of. 415 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:32,000 We're thrilled to expand the wizarding world of Harry Potter and bring even more adventures to life. 416 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,000 Okay, is that it? 417 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,000 Yeah, pretty much. 418 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,000 Alright, we're gonna stop there. Alright, your notes. 419 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000 Okay, remember this is two different videos. 420 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,000 The other video is just like a fly through. 421 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,000 Yeah. 422 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,000 Do you want to do the fly through? 423 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,000 No, it's... 424 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,000 The same thing? 425 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,000 Basically what they show in this video, just uninterrupted by people. 426 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000 Okay, yeah, we're not gonna do that. 427 00:28:52,000 --> 00:29:05,000 So, it takes place in 1920s Muggle Paris, Portals the Phoenix Arch, was built to be the same scale as Paris, shortest building is taller than the tallest building in Diagon Alley. 428 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,000 I'm just going through this to see if there's anything else. 429 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,000 Place Tachay.
