I did enjoy the event, and it was good for a first time event. Felt quite a bit like Eve, but with smaller crowds. Energy was good with the crowds. Lines were generally pretty reasonable all night, not much got past a 30 min wait, and a lot were walk ons--with the exception of the 70 min tram wait at 9pm (when the tram closed at 9:15), and the fact they seemed very understaffed with trams, as maybe only two trams loaded in about 20 minutes of waiting. But when we finally got on the tram, the crowd was super enthusiastic and really into everything.
I do hope they can add even more to do for future events. I'd love to see any of the following:
- More specialty entertainment/characters (think of the rare characters Disney puts out for Disney After Dark events)
- Encourage fan costumes for Universal movies, maybe have a costume contest
- Small museum/exhibit with old Universal attractions, facts, trivia
- More specialty food/drink items
- Additional bars, lines for alcohol were quite long... like how HHN has additional bars, like the one on the second level of Jurassic Cafe
- Opportunities to access backstage areas (would love to see the second floor balconly above Guest Relations), backlot
- Giveaways (like a pin/button), specialized merch
- Play any of the Castle light shows
- Mummy with the lights on
