I'm hoping that they have something similar to the IoA Passports when this opens up. I'd definitely buy those medallions that they've been sending the park influencers.
Yes, please. I'd gladly buy that!

The model is fully visible in the video in January. The AR interactive elements won’t appear for the remaining two lands until after they’re announced, and new merch will appear in the store. It will likely get locals (vloggers) to come back to the preview center too.I am baffled by the timing of the Preview Center opening in June. It seems too early. Announcing that a Preview Center was coming to CityWalk is all positive. But unless Universal plans to release the video announcements of the final two lands in quick succession during June, actually opening it now is awkward. Do you reveal everything in June in the Preview Center, knowing that the individual land announcements will be diminished by YouTubers posting everything in the Center on opening day? Or do you cover half the model and leave information on those lands blanked out, disappointing visitors who arrive to the preview of half a park? Either way seems like a negative result. I assume that Universal marketing has a strategy for this, but I cannot figure out what it is.
i would not bet on it ,,,Are there going to be the kinds of elaborate physical displays for each land like the IOA Preview Center had
Do we know if it will be the same model, or will it be updated with the missing restaurants that are obviously under construction?The model is fully visible in the video in January.

Same model. (Probably been updated since video.)Do we know if it will be the same model, or will it be updated with the missing restaurants that are obviously under construction?
Model is big. Building is small.Are there going to be the kinds of elaborate physical displays for each land like the IOA Preview Center had, or will it basically just be the model with its "augmented reality on compatible mobile devices" stuff?
Epic is Universe.Model is big. Building is small.
IOA Preview Center was open for two years prior to the park's opening FWIW.I am baffled by the timing of the Preview Center opening in June. It seems too early.

"Epic is Universal"Epic is Universe.
What does BTS mean?I don’t think THAT model was supposed to be seen (aka taken BTS). Link removed. If I’m wrong, I’ll gladly repost.
Photos from ~2020, definitely not shared by Universal and not recently. Probably taken by one of the artists and maybe shared with friends, not meant to be released publicly. Perhaps they were shared to a personal art portfolio, but not that I have seen. And reverse image search doesn't bring them up.I don’t think THAT model was supposed to be seen (aka taken BTS).

Behind the scenes... (or a K-Pop band)What does BTS mean?
