CTM Universal Ep 134 -

We kick things off breaking down how Premium Scream Night went this year and honestly the vibe was pretty great. Way fewer people compared to last year, waits were super low, and media was actually hosted on the official opening night this time around which is a change from how things have gone before. Big news for folks who follow event coverage closely. Then we get into Stay and Scream and there was some good stuff happening there too. The event opened earlier than the usual 2pm cutoff, all the houses were up and running by 6, and yeah some of those waits were hitting 60 minutes around 4pm on that first Friday and Saturday. But listen, it was opening weekend. It's always going to be heavier on those first few weekends. Come back on a Sunday or a weeknight and you're going to have a completely different experience. We also talk about the scrim around the arch entrance to Universal Studios Florida getting a little facelift with a new HHN medallion mock up on the arch, which is a fun detail. And we have some news out of Epic Universe as Captain Cacao is no longer doing meet and greets over there. Then we switch gears into one of our favorite kinds of conversations: Underrated vs Overrated across all three parks. We're going category by category covering rollercoasters, family attractions, shows, hotels, snacks, quick service, table service, character meet and greets, bars and lounges, and nighttime spectaculars.
