I watched the show that just released a few days ago, and it is an interesting documentary, if not all over the place. It showed, like most true and non-propaganda theme park building documentaries, how incredibly challenging and stressful it is to create a brand-new theme park. The strange thing though, is that it released to basically radio silence and had to re-schedule its release date 2 or 3 times. Much similar to how there were nearly no ads to epic universe, and none that actually showed the parks, for some unexplainable reason they are keeping it quiet. It seemed obvious that it was a hassle to make, but you think they would do something bigger for such an investment of comcasts time and money. I think it's strange, but do you guys have an explanation for why they might do this?
Where did you watch the documentary? It doesn’t come out on peacock till the 17th.
What I find really strange is that Universal is currently running a nationwide ad campaign for Universal Orlando that shows all of the parks, but for all the shots of Epic, they're still using CGI-created concept imagery and not actual footage from inside the actual park, which they're using for everywhere else in the resort. You'd think after 6 months Universal would have some live b-reel footage inside of Epic that they could use to advertise the park.
JonathanK: it costs 6 dollars on YouTube. It was honestly luck that I stumbled on it, but I'm glad. It's actually a good watch, if you have time.
Russel: That's half of the reason why I started this thread. That's actually one of the best things about the park, the amazing architecture and theming, and one of the biggest reasons why you would go there, and there not even showing it! My only guess is to wait until the park is fully ironed out before they really start the ad business, so they don't get any more people coming in and giving bad reviews. It still feels kind of strange though...
This was supposed to debut on Peacock right after the incident on Stardust Racers. After that, Universal postponed the show, which is why it just came out.
