A lot of good stuff from Bio on the ground today:

Progress on the mural, HTTYD & Monsters:

The two tecni-color hotels look great ... but further from Epic entrance than I expected (don't mind walking - always follow the rules and take the Cabana bridge ha).

To me this is looking like a two day park ... each land is so immersive to spend a couple hours in

I guess the Burning Blade Tavern is made from sculpted concrete because of the fire effects? This should look spectacular.

Lot of high quality photos ... Universal may want to officially announce park details soon lol

Looks like HP is the closest portal to Helios

Good sense of the verticality coming down from the entrance to the fountain.

Werewolf coaster is testing

An important question is being elided in this video...

Did the test include a swing launch?

EDIT: Still can't tell from the video.

Even if we figure we're only seeing roughly half of the ride time there, that's still a bit shorter than I would have expected.

Hopefully whatever "scene" happens in the barn is pretty good.

Who here is brave enough to make a Tiktok account to quell our curiosity about the swing launch with a pointed comment?

There are a few key questions that still need to be answered for me (What are the sight lines/isolation like inside the land? What's the "story" justification for the coaster? What do the Monsters actually look like in the ride?), but man... all the potential is there for the Monsters land to be really special.

I’m not worried imo, even if I don’t know the specifics. The land feels congested, but that’s not a story concern.
