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

It’s happening!!

The first track supports have been installed for Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift. #UniversalOrlando

Universal Orlando has debuted a single-use ala carte Express pass option named Universal Express Now. Available day of your visit from mobile app only, purchasable for select attractions (when available). Currently at Epic Universe, Islands of Adventure, & Universal Studios Florida

Been working on better predictions for WDW Lightning Lane times. As part of checking accuracy, we created graphs for historical same-day availability by crowd level. Data from mid-2024 when DAS rules (and LL capacity/ demand) changed. Hollywood Studios: forum.touringplans.com/t/the-lightn...

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!

Five Guys Coming to CityWalk Orlando, Replacing BK Whopper Bar, and Epic Universe Preview Center Closing BK Whopper Bar at Universal CityWalk is closing to make way for Five Guys and the Epic Universe Preview Center is closing for the return of the Legacy Store this month

NEW VIDEO! Multiple measures are being taken now to add a new fireworks show to Universal Epic Universe, despite the company not yet officially announcing such a project YouTube Version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajBX... Article Version: orlandoparkstop.com/news/theme-p...

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). Video Version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ki4P... Article Version: orlandoparkstop.com/news/theme-p...

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 YouTube Version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHxd... Audios Version: orlandoparkstop.com/podcast/park...

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.

WESH 2 News did a full segment on the Universal Orlando mystery project, now underway, including new aerial views of the work: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gklN...

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

Everything We Know About the New Epic Universe Fireworks Show, Still Unannounced

Is a certain Continent about to Lost? Patreon-exclusive post on the topic ahead of newsss www.patreon.com/posts/lost-c...

Disney was considering 1 or 2 Magic Kingdom hotels post-pandemic. You have to wonder if that might be part of a Phase 2 expansion. floridapolitics.com/archives/788...

Genuinely surprised no news outlets are covering the West Parcel project. There’s construction happening, with Universal intending to develop something commercial on ~90 acres of land behind Icon Park and I guess there’s so much happening these days we’re the only ones talking about it!

I miss Big Thunder Mountain so much

Processing that the boardwalk edge of Frontierland will likely be much closer to ground level once this new stream is built due to how high these retaining walls are. This stream will help separate the new Cars ride from the rest of the land, but the area is being raised up quite a bit it seems.

The updated Buzz Lightyear ride is such an improvement. Definitely feels like a modern ride now with the new blasters, cleaner car design, screen score display, new movie score like music, new Buzz narration voice track, new lighting effects, targets in screen dome, and more.

Spending time with the Grand Poohbah himself, @lentesta.bsky.social

That is one big pile of dirt

Good morning from Magic Kingdom!

My greatest life’s achievement

So weird/wonderful to hear @alicia.social narrate the block zone while riding Reptilian at Kings Dominion

NEW VIDEO! New permit for "future attraction" at Epic Universe, in addition to Events building and Potter expansion, plus massive 90-acre parcel construction begins for mystery project Video Version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD7h... Article Version: orlandoparkstop.com/news/theme-p...

MUSIC SUBMISSIONS In addition to art prints, we also have the ability to sell songs for the fundraiser this year. Your band or solo artist can contribute a track or short album to sell with all proceeds donated to The Trevor Project. (Artist retains all rights) DM if interested.

Bring them back

I’m a fan of the update to Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin. New blaster tech is a huge win to keep the attraction good for years to come, but also great new lighting and minor improvements across the board to be appreciated.

Caught a glimpse walking by, and she’s gorgeous

West Parcel Mass Grading project has commenced! According to permit documents this land near Epic Universe is being prepared for future development.

I adore the return of the classic Tomorrowland aesthetic. Here’s the progress on Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin signage.
