Is Epic Universe the Future of Theme Parks? Here’s How to Save When You Go

I don't think there's that much absinthe in it because it's a theme park. Come on. But layer of colorful drinks, like so they have lemon juice and then a soda layer. So I mentioned Speakeasy Vibes and Harry Potter. Over at Dark Universe, they have this really interesting bar. If you've followed Epic at all on Instagram, you've seen it. It's called the Burning Blade Tavern.

I know. I was like, I didn't buy anything. And I was like, did I make a mistake by not buying stuff? Well, you didn't buy a single thing. I mean, come on. I'm saved by Sally. I'm trying to be cheap. But I do have a suspicion that they were all trying to buy the opening day merchandise.

There were these coins that everyone was trying to get their hands on, and I've since seen them on eBay for like $5,000.

I was like, ah, man, I should have bought this. So the other two pieces of merchandise that everyone is talking about, those are the power-up bands at Super Nintendo World and the wands at Wizarding World. Now, I will say Universal very kindly gifted both of these items to all of its media guests, myself included. So I did not pay for it, but I did have it.

I still have it in my closet because they wanted us to try it out. So it is now early hot takeoffs time. Are you ready? Hit me. No need to wait for the end of the episode to do hot takes. Okay, so I have to say I did not enjoy either of these things. I am a minimalist, and this is already antithetical to my lifestyle, but I was exhausted just trying to carry this thing around.

At least with the power-up bands, it's kind of like a watch or step tracker where it's just on your wrist. But with the wand, I'm like, where do I put this? It doesn't fit in my pocket. It's sticking out of my bag. I'm worried it's going to fall out. Also, it was expensive, so I really don't want to lose it. Yeah, how much was the wand? I got the model that was $65, but there is an $85 model.
