On this episode of ReelTalk, host R.L. Terry is joined by his sister Michelle to review their experience at Epic Universe, Universal Orlando Resort's newest theme park--the newest theme park in the country.
To put into perspective just how historic this moment is, you have to rewind the clock all the way back to 1999. That was the year Universal opened Islands of Adventure, the last entirely new theme park to debut at either Walt Disney World or Universal Orlando Resort.
In the world of themed entertainment, that’s more than just a long wait—it’s a generational gap. An entire generation of fans grew up visiting Islands of Adventure as the ‘new’ park, and now, Epic Universe takes up that mantle.
This episode explores how Epic Universe connects to Universal’s movie heritage, and what it means for the future of storytelling in the parks.
