Losantiville Mining Co. Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 This is something from Universal Hollywood, but I don't know if there's a topic for that. I've been noticing a few videos/posts from Universal Fan Fest Nights that include Star Trek characters as part of a Star Trek experience there.

Here’s the link to the event page (it’s a limited time thing) https://www.universalstudioshollywood.com/hhn/en/us/things-to-do/entertainment/ffn-star-trek Years and years ago (prior to Paramount purchasing the KECO chain) USH used to have a Star Trek attraction—if I recall correctly, it was a live show? EDIT: Guess I could have just done a 2-second Google search before posting Here’s a link to some info about that older Universal attraction: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Trek_Adventure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losantiville Mining Co. Posted Wednesday at 11:02 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:02 PM Epic Universe has its Grand Opening tomorrow, May 22nd, 2025! This park has looked great so far through everyone's pictures and videos. Everyone who worked on and in this park has done an awesome job and I can't wait to see what the future brings for this amazing new theme park! The Grand Opening Celebration livestream is happening now and will probably continue tomorrow, so go watch if you'd like and get hyped! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timchat2 Posted Thursday at 03:37 AM Share Posted Thursday at 03:37 AM We just returned from two full days at Epic Universe. Monsters Unchained and Harry Potter Battle at the Ministry are two of the best dark rides in the world. The dining options are very impressive with many tasty (and very photogenic) offerings. Epic Universe is a wonderful addition to Universal Orlando and the world of theme parks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback_Is_King Posted Thursday at 02:14 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:14 PM Well, opening day at Epic today. From lots of live streams I've been watching from 7:30 this morning, SO many people are trying to get on Battle at the Ministry. Not too long ago, Battle at the Ministry was posted at 300 minutes (5 hours). Meanwhile, Monsters was a walk on an hour ago, and Minecart Madness is only about 25 minutes! It seems everyone is at Ministry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted Thursday at 02:31 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 02:31 PM The rest of the park is barely even busy. We did Frankenstein, Werewolf and Hiccups with walk ons essentially. Just got to pizza moon the Ube pizza and pizza nicarossa? Is AMAZING! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timchat2 Posted Thursday at 10:26 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:26 PM Pizza Moon is something special. That interior is incredible (and the pizza is crazy good too)! We found that when the queue was open for Battle at the Ministry is tended to pull a bunch of guests that way leaving the other attractions relatively quiet. The biggest issue was attractions switching to "delayed" status, but we managed to just pivot to whatever was open at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losantiville Mining Co. Posted Friday at 03:45 AM Share Posted Friday at 03:45 AM One thing I've heard is that Pizza Moon is mobile order only. Is that true for any of the other restaurants at Epic Universe? I already don't like needing to use my phone for everything, so it's unfortunate that there's not another ordering method readily available. All of the food looks really good though! If I ever get to go, I think I'll be super happy with whatever food I get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timchat2 Posted Friday at 04:16 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:16 PM Pizza Moon and most (if not all) food locations at Epic Universe have a place to order with a team member. Many of the larger ones appear to have been designed and built with the traditional counter-ordering setup, perhaps a nod to how much of the park was designed before 2020 made mobile ordering more common. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losantiville Mining Co. Posted Friday at 04:43 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:43 PM Thank you for the clarification! I may have either misheard or saw something that was only true for one of the previews. My other issue with a lot of places that force mobile ordering is that you can't use cash; although the mighty dollar bill seems to be hard to use at any theme park these days. I'd rather just let my friends/family order everything and give them cash in return. The pizza looks awesome! I've been thinking about trying to make one of the mac and cheese bread cones at home to see what it's like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timchat2 Posted Friday at 05:01 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:01 PM With so many international guests there is still a need for cash transactions at the Central Florida parks. The mac and cheese bread cone was very good, although it is less of a cone and more like half a large hoagie roll. It kind of reminded us of the "everything" bread at DiBella's Subs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted 12 hours ago Author Share Posted 12 hours ago I’ll post a full breakdown later but just a snip of where I’m at: 1. I’ve ridden every attraction at Epic now, Monsters Unchained the Frankenstein Experiment is arguably the best ride here. 2. Save Ministry till the end of day or around lunch, quoted 90 waited 35. 3. Stardust Racers is a brilliant coaster, green is more air time and intensity focused while yellow is more speed and flow. 4. Helios is the best resort on property and the Athenian Punch is immaculate. 5. the Opening Day ticket has a digital medallion, it’s a NFT, which requires a wallet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
