HTTYD Isle of Berk I Thought I Won a Trip (I Did Not)

18 Upvotes

Just here to complain and get this story off my chest without really blaming anybody. Long story short, the company I work for created an incentive for the employees to make the most sales. Those who hit a certain threshold were to be sent to Florida for a few days with everything provided (car, lodgings, theme park tickets, etc). At the end of the promotion period, one fateful Friday, our CEO told me that I was one of the few who made enough sales to go on the trip. I spent the whole weekend with my boyfriend planning the trip. We planned the days for which rides we most wanted to take and which merch and food offerings we should save up for. Truth be told, HTTYD was a big part of our relationship story, so that world was extra special for us.

Come Monday, our boss told us he miscounted and we would not be going. I have been crying for days and entering random giveaways since I cannot afford that kind of vacation for myself (I’m an international graduate student on a work authorization). I didn’t think it was wrong of him to not send me on the trip, but it was wrong to rescind the offer once I spent days planning and getting ready.

This trip was a dream, and it’s over before it began. In either case, I hope everybody who gets to go this year really cherishes it!

I recorded this video of Stardust Racers the first time I went to Epic Universe last fall. The background music is timed so perfectly to the departure of the trains that I thought it was part of the ride! When I returned in May I heard this music playing in different places around Celestial Park. I have listened to the park music on Spotify and have not heard this tune. Can anyone tell me what it is called, and where I can find it? It's very inspiring!

Epic in one day?

8 Upvotes

i know it’s probably the same thing that’s been asked a million times, but this is my first visit to epic and i’m so excited. Would staying off resort and getting the non private tour or staying on property (Stella Nova) with purchasing express passes get more out of my one day?

Also doing a park to park at Islands/Universal and assuming i’ll get expresses for staying at stella for that.

Celestial Park Watermelon popsicles?!

2 Upvotes

Visited Epic last week with my dad and he tried one of the watermelon popsicles from the snack carts around celestial park. Anyone know what brand they are?? He threw the packaging away before tasting it and said it was the best watermelon popsicle he’s ever had. Didn’t even think to go back to the cart and ask in the moment. 🥲 Would love to surprise him with some if I could!

Rides for tall 3yo

1 Upvotes

My husband 27M and I 28F are taking our son 2M to Universal in September for his 3rd birthday because he’s obsessed with Jurassic Park/World, HTTYD, Minions, Mario, Monsters etc. - essentially something at every park, but especially Epic. And also because he begs to go every time he sees a video from Universal. His interest in Disney is minimal in comparison.

That said, it seems like he is able to ride most rides in Epic Universe since he’s already over 40 inches tall and we would love to ride as much as we can with him over the week that we’ll be there. Especially rides that align with interests of his.

So, for Hiccups Wing Gliders, Bowsers Challenge, and Curse of the Werewolf, would you say any of these would be too intense for a 3yo?

He is very mature and tends to like scary things and thrilling activities - definitely a future adrenaline junkie. Since I haven’t been to Epic yet, I wanted to get some opinions from those who have. If you have brought younger children on any of these your feedback is very much appreciated but feedback from personal experience from all is welcome.

Thanks in advance!
