Every June since 2022, Alicia Stella and Orlando Park Stop hold a fundraiser for the Trevor Project. They have already raised well over $100,000 in that time, but more is needed. Here is my interview with Alicia to promote the fundraiser and discuss Universal’s Epic Universe.
Universal Orlando Debuts Individual Ride Express Pass Option
A new type of Universal Express pass option has debuted, called "Universal Express Now," which allows you to purchase a single one-time use Express pass for individual rides

Since today is the last day the Epic Universe Preview Center is open, I revisited the video I made of my actual first reactions to seeing the scale model the moment it was open to the public June 2024. Check it out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP6F...
Good to see the Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin windows back open on PeopleMover at Magic Kingdom! Look, a volcano!

just re-read what you wrote lol
i'd like to think they DoorDash their music demos lol
No it’s on the YouTube channel linked above
There's a YouTube channel right now with several demos of songs from Epic Universe including this one which sounds like if the Stardust Racers theme was part of EPCOT Center's original BGM loop, in the best way possible.
Check the channel out for more: www.youtube.com/@GlobalDisco...
NEW VIDEO! Walls have gone up around a portion of Lost Continent as permits describe demolition for the area, which is expected to make room for new attractions, (rumored to be Pokémon).

The mystery project story has gone national! People has picked it up, thanks to reporting by @wesh2news.bsky.social
Paying my respects to this legend this morning, still here and still mystic.
Lost Continent wall selfie!
Permits first discovered by @themeparkwizard.bsky.social related to roadway work at Islands of Adventure were issued in February, expected to help create a bypass option when Lost Continent demolition blocks the main access road. @bioreconstruct.bsky.social spotted this roadway work in aerial photos
NEW PODCAST! We share our thoughts on Lost Continent demolition starting soon, a permit for a new attraction at Epic Universe, what's being built behind I-Drive, and changes coming to CityWalk

Posting this here assuming Pocket Monsters are taking over the last of The Lost Continent at Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure.
Sorry that it is rushed.

Final illustration from The Giving Tree, with an old man resting on a tree stump, over the words “The End”
The Lost Continent has been the giving tree of Islands of Adventure. It gave up Merlinwood for Potter. A little more for Hogwarts Express. Used Sindbad for Hagrid queue. And now is allowing us to chop the rest down for a new land. Thank you, tree.
On today, Trans Day of Visibility, The Trevor Project reminds us that it’s a day to not only honor, but uplift the transgender and nonbinary community.
All donations to our fundraiser page will be matched 2X today until midnight! give.thetrevorproject.org/ParkStop
