Julie finally made it to Universal Epic Universe, and let's just say she's officially a convert! After months of talking about Universal Orlando's newest theme park, Julie experienced it firsthand…
All right, let's talk about each of the worlds individually.
So you did not have a Power-Up Band, right?
No, no.
And honestly, even if I did, I would not have used it.
I would've still run away.
[laughs] There were so many kids running around in there.
Do you feel like a lot of people were, were running to this for a rope drop?
Probably.
It was hard for me to see because it was raining.
Hmm.
I didn't see how long or, like, what the lines looked like for Super Nintendo 'cause it's kind of across the way from Ministry of Magic, so it was different for, it would be difficult for me to even see how many people would've gone in that direction.
We were fairly near the front of the line For the Ministry of Magic area, there were s- there were probably like a good 20 or 30 people or something in front of us.
But it was not, it was not bad.
Do you feel like you need like a good game plan to do this world, to give it justice, to do it right?
Probably.
There's so much going on because it's not just the rides.
Like, there's all of the other like immersive things, and I think that's part of what made it so chaotic is like kids were just running around.
Trying to do the power-up things and games.
Yes, yes, and like playing all of the different activities.
It was a madhouse.
That's the best way I can describe it.
Absolute madhouse.
