Epic Universe Preview Center

Since there's a lot of ping-ponging between several threads for it - I figured it's probably best to just localize it to one.

I really think there's a good possibility we get opening dates for the park and Helios with the opening of the Preview Center and essentially the Preview Center opens one year out from the park's grand opening. I'd like to think it will be June 20th to coincide with the summer solstice-- a celestial event to mark a celestial event.

I don't think the park will open THAT late due to recent comments from a construction manager (I think it was a construction manager I might be wrong?) for EU, but who knows. I do agree that we will get dates/ticket info when the preview opens though.

Perhaps not OPEN that late, but that may be the dedication/grand opening date after a soft opening. Technically anything before that date is "spring" and anything after that is "summer"

If you thought the lines to get into Voodoo were long ...

Will be interesting to see how they separate the shopping area vs the displays area

Hate to get your hopes up but according to Tomfoolery, don't necessarily count on there being display models of the land like there was with the IOA preview center.

They warned the TMs that capacity is limited, but they are getting their TM discount on the merchandise inside.

Let's Go Social Media Guys! Bring on the 2742 shots of the model.

On one hand this is really cool, on the other the IOA center is streets ahead of this

Can’t we judge this without always referencing the IOA center?

I just looked at a video of it and definitely screamed the 90s. It’s one thing to be nostalgic but can’t have anything new without the constant comparisons.

We can compare it to the summer tribute store if that makes you feel any better.

We live in a different time now. The most social media thing around was forums. Now we have the world in our pocket.

I'll reserve some judgement until I see it with the AR app, but overall was hoping for more Theme from a Theme Park. I get that it's a different time but it's still underwhelming, especially when, as Scott said, there's a gift shop done 4x year that is more immersive.

It also reuses props over and over, creatively, no doubt - and has more room to work with. The model takes up roughly 20 x 20 of the area as well.
