Nicki Minaj Floated As Press Secretary Replacement By White House Staffers tmz.com/2026/10/25/nicki-min…

There has been a lot of misinformation lately about the status of SkyLink. As we work 24/7 to get the train open, we want to clear a few things up.

The 17% theme park slump doesn’t really bother me like it does a good handful of people. Overall that doesn’t make Epic some catastrophic failure, it’s pretty normal to have ups and downs in the industry. The park is good, it has fun rides and you can really beef up your Universal vacation by throwing it in the mix. With that said, there is room for some improvements and especially room for some improvements that can be made in the near term to increase the size of Uni’s pocket. • Opening up Celestial Park after 5pm to AP’s and hotel guests. It’s an easy way to play around with the AP mix in and also gives hotels guests another option when it comes to dining and shopping. Especially for those checking in after a flight, having the hub open for them before they do a full park day could be easy money. • Offering a 3 park AP in limited quantities. This could be something done in small doses at first until new attractions come online. We hate reservations but bring them back for Epic if need be to limit how many AP’s come in at once. Either way, a pass option would help generate more cash. • More flat rides that don’t take 2/3 years to construct. We know new attractions are coming to Epic but those are at least 2+ years out. Why not build a simple flat ride to increase capacity and diversify the ride lineup? You can build a highly themed flat ride a lot quicker than an elaborate dark ride. • Better marketing and showcasing the property. Up the social media team, show off the events, the food, the rides, the overall experience. You can always show off more and there isn’t a limit on how many times you can do it. Disney does it alllllll the time so work the runway Uni! Just a few things I think could help and I know Universal is probably thinking of all of it. Epic is still very new and growing pains are very normal. Epic is still a huge win for the resort and a huge win for the surrounding businesses. It’s a park that will continue to get better and better overtime and honestly it’s a pretty solid park especially when you compare it to other new parks that have opened in the past. Things are expensive in life right now and it’s no surprise that the theme park business is going through a low point.

Universal outside of Minions does have identity crisis, but this is the part where they need to really push the idea of bringing import IP such as Nintendo and anime which is the current and biggest revenue markets in the world. No one cares about lord of the rings or wizarding world. In fact, Harry potter revenue has significantly declined past 5 years since the Hagrid bikes opened.

Even though i haven't been to Epic from pictures and videos it looks septated their is no flow to park personally park feels very sterile no personality or fun this is what happens when you are so focused on immersion you lose what makes a theme park fun

in-n-out isn’t overrated. I think non-Californians misunderstand us when we try to describe it. It’s a consistent 8/10 burger every single time you go and is better than any other fast food chain burger at the same price point. Yes 5 guys is *technically* better at 2x the price.
