Preview a new attraction or wait to be surprised?

December 3, 2025, 11:19 AM

With the opening of Epic recently, we all watched the videos and saw many attractions.

But is it better to avoid seeing a new attraction?

I have avoided seeing Ministry of Magic ride videos so someday when we visit, we will be totally surprised.

Preview or Not to Preview...
Which is better?

It depends. If the ride is at an overseas park, then I have no problem watching POVs unless I’m expecting to visit in the near future and would rather just get surprised at that point. Otherwise, I avoid POVs for most domestic parks. That’s like going into a movie and knowing how it ends.

I believe POV can help in some situations -Like showing a child the ride to see of they can handle it...

But to be totally surprised is the best.

I once saw an interview with a park ranger and he said he was jealous of anyone who gets to see the Grand Canyon for the first time. You only get the One first time.


Happy holidays to all.
