Excited to share that “Ticket to Ride- America’s Theme Park Trains” is now available for pre-order! rivershorepress.com/ticket-to-ride This book will be a “must have” for train & theme park fans everywhere. Photos from my Great Adventure History collection and my personal collection of are included.

Here’s the story on WESH: wesh.com/article/them...

So excited to see WESH spotlighting @alicia.social and her annual Stop Hate fundraising efforts for @trevorproject.bsky.social orlandoparkstop.com/charity/

REVIEW: Epic Universe lives up to its name, competing with the best in themed entertainment. It is Universal's magnum opus.

Video: Stardust Racers with #StardustTrails • Look for fog at front of the station! • Hiccup's Wing Gliders makes a photo bomb ... flashes from the ride camera. • A custom-written After Effects plugin where trains have lasting comet-like trails along the track.

Video: Time lapse of the fish swimming inside of Atlantic restaurant. Included is when Chronos and Atlantic join the closing show of Epic Universe. (This viewpoint chosen because in other locations fountain jets block the windows.)

After Warner Bros. cut Sesame Street loose last year, Netflix has signed a deal to bring new episodes of the series to its platform. www.pastemagazine.com/tv/sesame-st...

From this day in 2008– never imagined both coasters would be gone now…

The Walmart at the corner of Sand Lake and John Young (closest to Epic Universe) rolling out more merch for the park opening.

Loved these on the construction wall around the exit restrooms at Islands of Adventure

Love this in Island Trading Company

So pretty at night

Le epic

For all the medicos out the Dr. Pretorious branded scrubs in Dark Universe

Newly added Captain Cacao over the door to Moonship

No snow, but the dragon animatronic is impressive!

Stardust Racers dueling with fire and ice

The Constellation Carousel after dark is really beautiful

Starbucks menu boards are on inside the new location:

Wasn’t expecting the water element on these columns. I thought for sure they would have flames in them (like those patio heaters). I still think there will be a fire element on top 🔥

Each of the Concierge Kiosks in the park has a Fuel Rod vending machine on the side, and hidden around the back are small banks of lockers. Very convenient along with the double sided ride lockers for the major attractions.

As beautiful as Epic is during the day, it is spectacular after dark!

The Plastered Owl has a beautiful bar and has a small stage in the corner with the stained glass tree. This promises to be a popular spot to relax in Celestial Park

The North Star Wintry Wonders shop has Christmas ornaments for all but Nintendo (so far). You can even get get Dark Universe tree skirts and stockings to complete your monstrous tree.

Stardust Racers is fantastic to ride or watch

The village of Darkmoor in Dark Universe is spectacular. This already is proving to be incredibly popular in previews.

Epic is already the most beautiful theme park in Orlando. Once the trees and other plantings fill in it will be even more beautiful.

For those looking to hydrate at Epic, there are water fountains and bottle fillers throughout the park, in addition to all the Coke Freestyle machines that dispense water.

First time I’ve seen Astronomica testing…

Starbucks at the front of the park looks close to opening

Yummy barbecue from Oak & Star

I want this on a shirt—

Bow down to Captain Cacao, our new master…

Moonship!!!

This park is so beautiful 😍

Shade is still coming to Epic…

Wow— Universal on a roll today: — Passholder preview tickets drop for Epic — Hollywood completes the track for their new Fast & Furious coaster — Universal Great Britain given the green light

I'm a cis man, but I found "Last Week Tonight's" coverage of trans athletes to be important and helpful. I wish every Democrat would better inform themselves against the insane talking points from the right by watching this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=flSS...

These photos are so awesome— I time capsule of the late 70’s/early 80’s in a theme park! The fake Darth Vader/C3PO photos are rare and amazing!

I’m still shaking with rage over this.

Always impressed how Universal’s concept art matches the finished product…

WESH got a great picture of a dragon drone at Epic Universe—

This was posted 218 days too early

Burning 🔥 Blade pewter tankard acquired!

Apparently it's WDW Monorail Day (March 6=Mark VI) youtu.be/RXB7H87tdDk?...

Fancy new I-Drive District sign is up on Universal Blvd. Near the Rosen Shingle Creek. Just in time to welcome everyone coming off the Beachline for Epic Universe.
