Orlando NOW!: Recent Episodes
Ryan Kennedy
Weekly Orlando news, discussions, and interviews covering theme parks, entertainment, and everything the city has to offer!
This week on the Universal NOW! podcast, we welcome back Jim Hill. The original point of discussion was going to be the history of Islands of Adventure, but Jim shared with us more than what we could have asked for. He gives an update on the current state of Universal with Diagon Alley and Comcast, Disney's situation with Magic Bands and their original objective with MyMagic+, and attractions being planned for after Diagon Alley opens, and how Universal will be able to pay for these attractions. He also talks about the continued negotiations between Universal and Disney for the Marvel theme park rights, and what could interest Universal to give up Marvel Super Hero Island. All that, and much more.
This week on Universal NOW!, we discuss the new Universal Vacation Planning Tool, New Year's Eve at CityWalk, and Photo Connect in our news segment. For our main topic this week, we give our 'big picture' ideas for what could be incorporated into the current Universal Orlando parks down the road, and what intellectual properties could be involved in a third Universal theme park in Orlando.
