In Part 2 of my conversation with Chad Pennycuff (My DVC Points Podcast), we're diving deeper into Universal Orlando's brand-new theme park: Epic Universe — and there's so much more to explore! After attending the Grand Opening event for media, I share my insight on the parks along with Chad's an Orlando local and "theme park junkie."This episode covers:

In this episode of DreamMachine, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 2025 DreamWorks action/adventure film How to Train Your Dragon, which is a live action remake of the 2010 animated film of the same name based on the book series by Cressida Cowell. In the island of Berk, a young teenage boy named Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III is the outcast of his village of Vikings who is unable to fight against the dragons that attack consistently. It doesn't help much that he's the son of the chief of Berk, Stoick the Vast. One night, he uses one of his inventions to shoot down a rare dragon called a Night Fury. When he finds it, he befriends it and calls it Toothless. Meanwhile, the children of Berk are being trained to fight dragons and Hiccup uses his skills and knowledge to take them down without killing them. The village believes that Hiccup is a real dragon fighter and praises him while Hiccup is keeping his secret. When the film premiered in theaters, it made $530 million dollars out of a $150 million dollar budget with mostly positive reviews. What did Arun and Patricia think of the film? Listen and find out.

Yaz tatilinin bir kısmını anneannesi ve dedesiyle geçiren Berk kaldıkları beldedeki bir okulun bahçesini keşfederken büyük bir futbol maçına hazırlık yapan okul futbol takımı öğrencileriyle tanışır. Futboldan uzak bir yaz geçirir miyim diye endişelenirken kendini sürpriz bir fırsatın içinde bulur. Bir yandan sporun rekabetle dostluğu birleştiren dünyasına bakan, bir yandan da uykuya dalmak için iki farklı teknik öğreten bu sıcacık uyku hikayesi yaklaşık 30 dakika sürüyor ve uykuyu derinleştiren müziğiyle 50 dakikaya tamamlanıyor.

This should be a given for Berserk, but these chapters get dark, tragic, and disturbing. Sadly, it's our beautiful, but flawed boy, Berk, himself, who is the perpetrator of this messed up stuff. But it's not that simple! Much to discuss here as the Beast of Darkness begins to take its hold on old Gutsy, causing him to wrestle with (and largely lose against) his deepest desires…resulting in the simple minded, traumatized Casca to recoil from him as a villain for the foreseeable future.

Today Ben dives into the Viking World of Berk to discuss the Live Action How to Train Your Dragon! Live-action remakes don't exactly have the best track record—some hit, most miss, and many leave us wondering… why even bother? But somehow, How to Train Your Dragon pulls off the near-impossible: staying almost exactly the same as the original and being completely worth it. In today's video, we're breaking down why this remake works where others—like The Lion King, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast—struggled. From honoring the animation, to understanding live-action as its own format, to the return of Gerard Butler in bear cape glory... this movie might've just set a new standard.

Co-executive produced, written, and directed by Dean DeBlois, How To Train Your Dragon is the fantasy adventure film that is a shot-for-shot live-action remake of the 2010 animated film of the same name – itself loosely based on the 2003 novel by Cressida Cowell. On the rugged isle of Berk, a Viking boy named Hiccup defies centuries of tradition by befriending a dragon named Toothless. However, when an ancient threat emerges that endangers both species, Hiccup's friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader. We break down all things re-imagining the animated film into live-action, the cast, the look of the dragons, and how this version does or doesn't differ from its previous version.

With the debut of Universal's Epic Universe, the attractions industry sees its most significant park opening in the United States in over two decades. In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about the immersive design, emotional resonance, operational innovations, and friction points of Epic Universe—reflecting on their respective visits and unpacking the guest experience from both a fan and professional perspective. A Landmark for the Industry “This is the newest major theme park to open, not just in Central Florida but the largest new theme park to open in the country in the last quarter century.” Matt and Josh reflect on how Epic Universe represents a once-in-a-generation event. The sheer scale, technology, and artistic vision mark a pivotal point for theme park development. From Celestial Park's community-like aesthetic to the themed portals, the park feels intentional and deeply considered. The duo also draws parallels between industry advancements and their personal excitement as fans, recognizing that few other sectors experience a $7 billion innovation that also thrills millions of people. Immersion and Emotional Connection “The second I walked through the portal into Nintendo, I felt like I was spit out through the green pipe and I was right in my childhood.” Josh and Matt compare their emotional connections with the IPs represented in Epic Universe's lands. Josh describes how Super Nintendo World transported him back to childhood, while Matt—less attached to the brand—found the land visually stunning even though it was less personally engaging. Both agree that attractions like Stardust Racers and Monsters Unchained push boundaries in guest immersion. Matt praises how Dark Universe's street character Eigor connects thematically to the ride experience, blurring the line between streetmosphere and narrative continuity. Operational Wins and Friction Points “It was the most seamless locker experience I've ever had... until it wasn't.” While Epic Universe delivers next-gen technology like facial recognition lockers and mobile food ordering, not every implementation is flawless. Josh describes a frustrating locker bay issue that caused a substantial delay. Similarly, Matt notes mobile ordering hiccups and virtual queue limitations, particularly for the Ministry of Magic ride. However, both highlight excellent guest service, including a team member in the Isle of Berk who delivered proactive communication and compassion amid uncertain show schedules. The Re-experience Factor “It's a park that is absolutely re-experiencable... you get that repeat visitation feeling.” Matt and Josh both emphasize Epic Universe's lasting impact. It's not just a one-time visit—it's a park that demands exploration over time. With hidden details, evolving guest flow strategies, and high emotional engagement, Epic Universe offers a compelling case study in how to merge immersive storytelling with thoughtful operations. Matt and Josh applaud the Universal team for crafting a park that has already made history.   Have you visited Epic Universe?  Let us know your thoughts!   This podcast wouldn't be possible without the incredible work of our faaaaaantastic team:   Audio and Video editing by Abby Giganan   To connect with AttractionPros: AttractionPros.com AttractionPros@gmail.com AttractionPros on Facebook AttractionPros on LinkedIn AttractionPros on Instagram AttractionPros on Twitter (X)
