Super bowl Sunday is coming. Where is my announcement UOR!?
For me it's far ahead based on the outside detail we've already seen...I can only imagine how much better it is racing through it...Add on some practical show scenes, and we have the type of ride we've needed Universal to do for a while

It’s almost if they had this huge marketing budget and nothing to spend it on...
PS - I hope they don’t air that commercial on TV.
I consider myself a pretty big Harry Potter fan.
That commercial is extremely awkward.

It really made the park look nerdy. I don’t think “regular” folks will react well to that spot.
I’m pretty sure it’s a web only commercial aimed at that particular audience.

It's almost like it's designed for a system that allows specific ads to be viewed and distributed by an equally specific demographic, maybe determined by things like browser and search histories.

Theme parks are unequivocally nerdy

this is true in a sense, but that was a bit above the scale.
(Non marketing expert alert) Why do they always shoot for these vague summer openings that sometimes get pushed back and get people all miffed that they missed it? Why not shoot for like the beginning of the actual year since these aren’t seasonal parks. New year new ride, they might pull in more people during a traditionally slow season, and they’ll have all the kinks worked out by the time the crowds of summer show up?

I 100% agree with this...you would think you would want to "soft" open before the enormous summer crowds and fall crowds. A winter/spring opening for a new attraction makes much more sense to me.
Usually they're closing a ride to make way for the new ride and since they don't want to lose capacity in their busy season (Summer), they tend to close the ride in September/October with about a 20 month build time aiming to open in summer.
