It's like free to enter and then they're using facial technology.

They've just started testing this out where you will only get charged when you go through the portal into one of these other lands.

Wow.

And also kind of as a holding area where say, oh, the Harry Potter portal is full.

Go hang out in Celestial Park, ride the carousel, buy a pizza, you know, whatever.

And then you'll get kind of alerted to come back into the portal again.

at a later date.

Something that I really appreciate about the Celestial Park part of Epic Universe as well is that it is a true park.

I mean, there's just like grass where you could just like sit down and have a soda and stuff like that.

And to me, that's a really fascinating way of encouraging engagement with the park and these amazing attractions.

In a way that feels, you know, fresh and new.

You know, Disney tried so many different iterations of this idea in the past.

You know, there was going to be a roller coaster at the Boardwalk Resort, which is just outside of Epcot.

You know, things like that that never really solidified.

But, you know, Universal...

We talk about how they're willing to sort of experiment more with these regional parks.

They're also willing to experiment more in terms of guest flow, you know, the entrance procedures, things like that, in ways that Disney probably couldn't because not only are they such a huge machine, but also it's going to be picked apart endlessly on social media.

They've tentatively said that the Abu Dhabi park is coming online, you know, in the next few years.

It'll be interesting to see if that happens.

I've actually heard an interesting anecdote from a former Imagineer that Disney is actually looking at the Abu Dhabi park in terms of how they're going to deal with climate change.
