Is the Donkey Kong ride the best Nintendo ride yet?
I REALLY hope they will be bringing HHN to epic universe in its first year!!! I cant imagine what they will do for Darkmoore!!!
I just hope the Donkey Kong coaster in Florida will be a big or slight improvement to the Japanese one.
IT'S OVER FOR DISNEY! It's almost impossible for them to keep up or even compete with UNIVERSAL.
I am super excited that in 162 days the opening of epic universe is going to be so epic that everyone is going to enjoy the park the moment they enter celestial park and go all over the park and see other places and rides to god on so epic universe here I come I am coming to your very very soon. I hope that everything will be ready in time for the opening of epic universe and I am going to enjoy myself going on rides and having the best time ever.
I'm most excited for Celestial Park. It's the only land, now and likely in the future, to not be based on some kind of IP. The turn-of-the-century Art Nouveau/Art Deco/Neo-classical aesthetic really has me.
So on the parking lot, are they not doing moving walkways or shade structures at all? Just having us walk down a concrete skillet to the front? 😬
Where can we pick up signed copies Alicia. 😂 But in all seriousness, how many YEARS have you been giving us the scoop?!
Wait they’re adding the Yoshi ride in the US???
This park is going to be fucking incredible. It’s mind blowing what universal has built in less time it took Disney to build Tron. I am more than impressed and here’s hoping it blows everyone away. ❤
I just found my love for coasters a few months ago, this should be an exciting opportunity for my first trip to Universal. I already need to go ride Velocicoaster and I'm a lifelong Nintendo fan too so this will be great!
A great job as usual. Meanwhile, OSHA noting worker using bucket as a ladder on top of the Monsters Unchained attraction. 🤣
The decision to go with open parking lots is baffling. Why not save space and protect guests from the sun by providing garages like the ones in CityWalk (speaking of which where is the City Walk? Where are the boats? The kinetic energy outside the park? ). Also baffling are the two atrocious hotels. Zero theming at the pool and good luck hiking to the pool if you are stuck in the back. Sad to see that Universal is learning all the wrong lessons from Disney.
still can’t believe I’m going to this next year and can’t believe it opens one day before my birthday so excited 😆
Where is the entrance for the future Luigi’s Mansion mini land
I had heard a long while back that the “universe” motif was in place so that individual lands could be closed off for rentals/corproate events/etc.
it’s getting reaaaalllllll
It’s crazy how soon the opening is !!! These updates are have been a crazy ride
Is it me or does that parking lot not look big enough?
I just want a new jaws ride
I work road construction in a very northern state. It is -12 degrees as of right now. Watching these workers walk around in T shirts at this time is messing with my head. Wondering if I should go apply at one of the contractors there so I can work in warmth, and work on the best theme park ever created!
Very much countdown now. Thankyou for the update.
Not gonna lie, as long as they nail Dark Universe, I’m not worried about anything else 🤷♂️
You make the best videos! Thanks for everything you do! I am going to have to stop watching these soon so that when I go next year I still have some element of surprise and awe!

USJ版だと横に切れ目の穴があり、「ヨッシーアドベンチャー」からトロッコなどが見えました
マリオ側と同時開業と思われるEpic版だとより自然な接点で繋がる気がします
それにしてもダミーレールのないところを潜ってQラインが形成されたのは驚きました
ユニバーサルはトロッコの機構を隠さず、むしろ誇示しているように見えます lol
I hope Super Nintendo world will get soon that their still working at epic universe in Orlando Florida 🇺🇸. 💕 💜
It is wild that I have followed this park's construction from like, the moment the land was purchased. Wild
lookout disney
It's getting closer and closer!! Just got really excited like halfway through this video when I realized that I will be seeing a lot of these details in person very very soon!
Meanwhile Disney. “Eh increase prices.”
Still nothing to see on stardust racers tail for a flux capacitor for back to the future its just a rumor
I think people will forget this will be family friendly rides
So freaking excited to go to epic universe!!!! It’s getting real!
The food at the USH Nintendo World near my house was surprisingly good.
I really hope the interest and hype around Dark Universe is enough for Universal to include it in the UK Park. Hopefully, the rides will be different, so the two compliment each other and aren't duplicates like the mario kart rides. It's a shame that they've made all 3 mario karts the same, when there is plenty of source material to mix them up a bit and have some different elements.
EPIC is going to steal disney flop costumers.
11:18 the guy chilling on the roof
This park is going to be amazing.
And the Rat is focusing on more Hotels and Extensions on Parks yet to even start
Another great video!
Omg i can't wait ❤
Disneyland can pray 😂😂😂😂
Gonna miss this series when this park finally opens. Oh well, looks like we got Universal UK updates to look forward to next!
Amazing Video 🏳️🌈🌈🎊🎉
Cannot wait! Hoping to get out there in 2026!
The doors at the portals will most likely be used for early entry primarily. They only tend to open certain sections of the park so it's an easier way to restrict guests access to areas
I’m so excited!!!! Especially for the dark universe area ❤
CANT WAIT TO BE A LITTLE KID AGAIN IN THAT WORLD 😂
I am hoping Epic Universe adds a Pokémon spot near Mario Land so they can incorporate Super Smash Bros.
