Matt missed the new Harry Potter ride at Epic Universe because it was down all day despite virtual queues.
The episode features hosts Matt Appleby, Christian Dumont, and Katie Brown discussing Matt's preview experience at Epic Universe, which is in technical rehearsal before its May 22nd opening. Matt explains he rode most attractions except the new Harry Potter ride, which used a virtual queue and had technical issues. He describes Super Nintendo World, including the Yoshi ride he found disappointing due to its short length, the Mario Kart ride with VR visors, and the Donkey Kong mine cart ride. Matt highlights Monsters Unchained in the Darkmoor area as a standout dark ride with impressive animatronics. He reviews food like butterbeer crepes, pizza at Pizza Moon, and a mac and cheese cone in the Isle of Berk. Matt compares the Isle of Berk to Disney's Galaxy's Edge, praising its family-friendly rides and shows. The hosts discuss wait times, single rider lines, and resort options, with Matt suggesting two days for Epic Universe. They end by encouraging listeners to contact Travelmation agents for booking trips.
