Hiccup: "We have the dragons, and we're not afraid to use them." Universal Studios: "Same bro."

This is Berk. It is scorching hot during most seasons and shivering cold during the rest. Since we left Berk to find the Hidden World, a tribe who calls themselves Universal got hold of the island and turned it into a theme park. I've heard of those. Tourists love them. Now most theme parks have animals roaming around like ducks or pigeons, but they. THEY HAVE DRAGONS!

THIS IS A REAL THEME PARK, UNIVERSAL IS KING

[@SnapChit]

Like I can’t even with this…This sounds like a dog whistle for someone who dislikes Disney because they promote diversity and inclusion. Disney World is just as “REAL” as Universal, and it’s still the “KING” in terms of popularity. Let me guess: you just want Universal to be more successful than Disney World because Disney promotes black and brown voices? Because Disney made the brave decision to eliminate a racist ride (Splash Mountain) and replace it with one featuring a strong black woman (Tiana)? You prefer Universal because Disney supports their LGBTQIA2S+ cast members and allows them to wear clothing that corresponds with the gender identity? Because Disney cares about protecting their cast members during deadly pandemics by forcing all guests to wear COVID-19 face masks when they’re not eating and/or walking (theme parks MUST stay open during an extremely deadly pandemic, unfortunately, because theme parks offer an essential service that the general public needs access to in order to survive on a daily basis). Yeah, I know exactly what you mean with your comment, and it is super gross. It gives me the literal ick. I can’t even with this…

[@ashunotaku]

UNIVERSAL IS SO GOOODDD. ALTHOUGH I HAVEN’T VISITED SINCE AROUND TEN YEARS AGO. I NEEEEEED TO GO BACK

[@wc8289]

@@SnapChit Splash was not racist. it was just a classic fun ride. Most actual Disney fans were sad when it closed. I was at closing date for Splash at DLR and stayed in line at midnight after closing to ride at 2am. Another thing, as someone who thought Princess and the Frog was a great movie, Tiana's ride makes no sense. Why would a character from New Orleans now open a cafe in a god damn abandoned mine? and now Disney has to get rid of critter country to justify it's existence in the park. So utterly stupid that I can't even with this...

[@First-Drop-Studios]

@@SnapChitI think he’s saying universal is the king because Disney has decreased in quality over the last decade. That has nothing to do with Disney caring way too much about political things. I support LGBTQ and I’m not racist at all. You can’t say someone is racist or homophobic when they say that their opinion is universal is better. In my opinion Disney has only made 2 lands that look better than this. Maybe only one. Also, Splash Mountain is not racist. Song of the South, the movie it was based on was racist. Disney made a horrible idea considering I don’t know anyone who wanted that ride removed.

[@SnapChit]

@@First-Drop-Studios Well Disney really can’t invest time or money into new rides or new lands because they need to focus on promoting diverse voices and inclusive stories. Giving black and brown bodies their place in these theme parks is simply more important than creating new some lands or whatever. Are you trying to suggest that, when you visit a theme park, rides are more important than representation and inclusion??

[@bensalisbury6535]

Love how the flyover is being done on a dragon. You can hear it and it’s wings flapping. So awesome!

[@JD-128]

Same! :D Just a pity the movement wasn't actually true to what riding a dragon would be like. There should be a lot more up-and-down, as when a dragon raised its wings for a downstroke, _some_ upward thrust (downward motion) would be generated, and through the downstroke, all the downward thrust creates upward motion, keeping the dragon aloft.

This actually looks like it's the best land of the 4. Dark Universe is good but too small, HP land seems like a waste of a good idea, I'm biased but I've never been the biggest fan of the Nintendo world idea. This is the quality I was hoping from Epic Universe. It feels like a living, breathing land. This looks like it's on par with Tokyo DisneySea, and I don't say that lightly. It's also telling that this looks about as big as the other 3 lands COMBINED

[@SnapChit]

Like I can’t even…I’m feeling the same way. I just hope when I finally get to walk through the land to feel the vibes of that music, that everyone around me will be wearing COVID-19 face masks. Because I’m a neurodivergent queer (non-binary, pansexual), I suffer from long COVID. For this reason, I require everyone around me to wear COVID-19 face masks at all times, even during most dining situations (the mask can be pulled down just a bit to take bites of food, but it needs to be pulled back up immediately after). Universal needs to respect their different-abled guests, like me, who require special accommodations. My accommodation will be to require guests around me to wear face masks. Not a big deal but we’ll see…

Something I love about Universal parks is how well they immerse you in the world with such a small park.
