EPIC UNIVERSE PRE-VIEW

I’m not an influencer, I don’t work for a news outlet, and I’m definitely not a theme park vlogger… I’m just a fan who’s obsessed with theme parks and immersive experiences. Yet somehow, SOMEHOW I got into the Epic Universe preview at Universal Studios Florida over a month before it opens to the public. The last proper full theme park to open in Orlando was Islands of Adventure back in 1999, so watching Epic Universe being built over the years has been exciting for many. I thought I wouldn’t even see it for ages so I booked a little trip just to soak up some Universal magic before the chaos hits. And then I ended up at the Epic Universe preview. A full month before it opens, no crowds, next-level theming, literal tears.
