Agreed. We just suspend our disbelief and roll with it.

Yup!
I’m not bothered in the slightest by the bits that don’t make sense. It’s still heaps of fun!

The Isle of Berk has been testing it’s actual flying dragon above the land. There is video of it flapping it’s wings & etc… Here’s a still shot

Here’s the video

Interesting. I was wondering if they were ACTUALLY going to follow through on that. It seems like they have to worry about failure situations where it could accidentally land on guests…but if they can keep them flying, but in an area not directly over guests, I can imagine myself being (sorry to cross IPs)…

That video literally just made me tear up. Granted its because I am a fan of House of the Dragon not How to Train Your Dragon, but that is amazing.

They could keep it over backstage on the space at the bottom of that map?

If you were a fan of The Monsters Cafe, Bioreconstruct has spotted the statues that were on the former building being prepped to be placed in Epic Universe!

Tomorrow, Friday 9/16/24, Universal will be putting out a video with an exclusive look at Stardust Racers! They put out a 20 second “teaser” last night for the full video!

Many of the coasters are in full testing mode! I found this YT that shows “Curse of the Werewolf”, “Hiccups Wing Gliders”, “Stardust Racers” and “Donkey Kong Kart Madness” all doing test runs!

Enjoy!

They look cool, but the real question is how accessible (or not) they are to various body shapes and sizes. It would be nice if the preview center had tester seats so people could have a realistic expectation of which rides they will (or will not) be able to ride. Seeing the heavily molded seats for most of the coasters does not fill me with confidence, especially with Universals track record.

I’m not going to look for that sort of stuff but if anyone addresses it as you watch what you watch I’d be interested.

We probably won’t get much of that until the parks open. Are you aware of “Plus Size Pammy” on YT? She specializes in those types of accessibility content
