What a great day! Almost every ride we did was a walk on. A mid afternoon storm that forced our hand to take a nap, and a fire works & fountain show to end the night!

Got these two at Universal Studios hollywood today. Almost passed them up thinking I could get them cheaper online, but they don't seem to be online anywhere. No pictures, no announcements, nothing to say these were coming out. I was so confused, but then saw the first to market stamps on their tags. I think they just came out in Universal! My boyfriend is amazing and didn't let me leave without them. HTTYD is probably my favorite series and these are so perfect. Hope they release more!

After hearing what Jeff Polk said about live entertainment at Universal Epic Universe, I sensed that it could be referring to Celestial Park, and my hope could be starting to break.

I'm starting to believe that the roaming Celestians may never come back anytime soon as they were considered weak, especially the cut shows at the Hemisphere Stage.

I don't even know why, either because of the writer(s)'s experience in entertainment, or(sorry if I'm being delusional, but...) me listening to a song from a mediocre movie that reminds me of Celestial Park.

While the way of experiencing the story is now by guests talking to the team members, I find it not enough, and the entertainment now being replaced with stuff that while are fine to most people, doesn't contribute to the story is awkward.

I mean, is the Celestial Park lore weak?

Does Universal care about originality?

At least all we have for now is Captain Cacao, but in my opinion, Maya of the Skies should've came along with her.

So this could be a "never say never" type of hope that Universal does somehow care about Celestial Park and could still bring back the roaming characters, bring in the known characters at some point.

All I want is to SEE what Vincent Various, Major Lolli, and many more of the characters look like.

In the end, I'm concerned about the true fate of the Celestians, and I don't know who to blame for the chaos: either me, or the higher-ups...

I saw this person on the app today with 40k coins by 3:46pm. They didn't play Mario Kart or Bowser Jr according to the leaderboard. Anyone know what's the fastest way to get coins like this person?

Took me ages, including a glitch deleting a lot of progress!! Check it out on my channel!

I see all too often people forget to consider the access roads when dreaming up potential new lands. I’ve crudely highlighted most of the currently existing ones.

You see, Access roads are EXTREMELY important for regular operation. They’re used for delivering parts, tools, people, goods and merchandise to each section of the park, though beyond that, Emergency Services need to be able to use those access roads to be able to transport injured persons, put out fires, etc.

So where does that leave us? Well, unfortunately Nintendo is basically completely bottlenecked. People have been deceived by the two plots next to Nintendo and thought Luigi’s Mansion or Zelda or whatever was going to happen. Unfortunately, It’s simply not going to logistically make sense. The 1.25 acre lot is actually already underway for an event space, which…is an interesting first move.

Then there‘s the 7 acre plot. Now, technically there IS theoretically potential there. However, you would have to build above the access road to get to the expanded area, which is kinda clunky and makes the park more complicated than necessary. That would also take at least 2.5-3 acres away from a potential new portal. The area I highlighted in the picture above is probably a bit smaller than what they could get away with.

Then there is the fact that Mario has technically already expanded. Donkey Kong Country was an expansion for the Japan location, and since DKC opened with Orland, it technically is “complete”.

I would much rather just have Nintendo bring Mario attractions and other IPs to different Orlando Parks, and leave this space alone so it can be developed into its own full land.
