After you wander in the Fovu room and move remotely with a vengeer of green smoke to a large and amazing re -creation of the Ministry of Magic, I found myself on board the elevator. Or something like one. It was after I combed through the corridors and rooms that the characters spoke to me from the paintings and stickers, but before I look like I fly and wander around the empty world. Or maybe it was real. Or maybe they were both. As I saw the characters appear, washed away and vast areas full of details, I kept asking myself, “Is this a screen? Or is the animation? Or both? Are I moving or still?”
I spent a lot of time with virtual technologies; Headphones That is trying to mix reality With high -resolution offers, Glasses that make things appear In front or create no existing sounds. In its best moments, the latest park in Universal, EpicLocated in the Makkah Park in Orlando, Florida, virtual mixture and reality to the extent that I even deceive.
The latest entertainment park in Universal is a high -exciting bet, which increases the bet in a world that only gets strange and more immersive. Horse riding is more intense, and the screens are everywhere, and the park lands were aimed at a full -sense journey to the bubble world for years. Star Wars War Galaxy Edge In Disney Gardens, all parts of the Harry Potter of the world are already present, and overly surreal structures Such as a wolf. Then virtual reality and mixed reality.

Immersion
Everything in Epic Universe revolves around gates and gates to other places. Gates inside the gates.
I came to a preview Epic Universe before it opened on May 22 with my colleague, Bridge Carrey, because I was very curious about how full billions of dollars technology can play technology a greater role.
I cannot say that I have all the answers yet, but after operating most of the major attractions and entering the gate tunnels in both the four independent sub -worlds in the garden, what most surprised me is that these screens are improving. These robots improve. The virtual and real line is insomnia. The formula is more ingenuity.
Again, the screens are everywhere and I have been stolen to my eyes. Do not use many tours in Epic Universe, any screen techniques at all, such as high -speed prevention such as ridiculous rapid contestants or madness of mines in Nintendo World, which have sudden delusions related to the path that occurs through the wonderful engineering design.
The most dazzling me, perhaps the two shows that I saw: the dragon that cannot be overcome on how to train Burke Island of dragon, and Cirque Arcanus in the Magic Ministry in the magic world.
Inside the Presshow area of Cirque Arcyus, the overwhelming width in Wizarding World in Paris that mixes screens, performance, dolls and more.
Both offerings, do not abandon spoilers, are full of nonsense and magic creatures that appear widely in all directions. Sometimes it is based on animation … I think. Sometimes, they are dolls. Sometimes, creative mechanical creations are great. Sometimes, they are part of the offers that link groups. I felt the delivery between one and one effect such as magic tricks, designed intelligently, and there were many moments that I was not sure of the delivery place. I just left and enjoyed it for magic width.
Entertainment gardens as a test of new technologies
Dragon without robotic teeth you can approach in the garden, if you wait.
Magic tricks also continue outside horseback. Amazing robotic version of how to train Dragon’s Unatizzing awaits guests to reach them and pets. A little far away, a child’s dragon, darlet – walking robot – along the small legs and withdraws a large crowd, his movements are concerned like a living cartoon. Another dragon is also, but this doll. It is also super -sliced. (Dranks also get their heads out of stables, while some sleeping slowly supply tails.)
It is also the size of the world: entering the closed gate tunnels and finding a large spread of details sometimes can feel details. My first entrance to Magic Paris in Paris or the kingdom of mushrooms in the world, made me ignite me cloudy smiles and think, “God, they did so.” By design, it is a great thing.
If you are patient enough to wait, the entire automatic arrows, the child’s dragon, will appear. It is great.
I practice magic and get rid of fun. I think about how magic thinks, shroud, often in influence first and then invent multiple techniques to get there. The theme park design feels the same. It does not matter how you make a wonderful and wonderful dragon, as long as it looks amazing and wonderful.
As a technology reviewer, I am constantly looking for devices that have certain functions and use those to make their magic. Entertainment parks can choose and choose, using the AR headphones here (Nintendo’s Mario Cart: Boser ChallengeThat contains the Snap-on AR display that makes the graphic video games appear on your path), wearing Bluetooth elsewhere (the energy teams that take advantage of parts of the Nintendo World scene so that you can play mini games), and to recognize the infrared face (The Wizarding Wands) and the face scan (The Lockers And admin gates at Park, which uses the camera -based knowledge instead.
Sometimes, the seams appear and become embarrassing. Facial recognition can be slow, and I don’t always like wearable devices with mysterious theme park applications that do not explain things as it should. But I love looking at the entertainment parks because it is a stand -alone space to explore new techniques in a fully controlled way, which is not the real world that the real world cannot do with the same ease.
Point of entry to Burke Island.
But the place where things feel smoother now is the place where you meet horseback riding and shows to help screens and mixed techniques – when they work, at least. The battle for the Magic Ministry, which is the most complex, stopped at Epic Universe, in the middle of the road during our first trip with a technical problem before resuming it a few minutes later. It was shortly in the illusion, before things started backward and washed away again.
The higher the number of pieces in an overwhelming experience, the greater the possibilities of things that worsen. The most advanced stars war in Disney, The rise of the resistanceIt is known for its periodic closure or certain parts that do not fully work. It is not clear what Universal record for the latest leading experiences.
Mixed reality feelings

My favorite moments at Epic Universe were those in which I can leave all my devices behind and a trial that is transported. This is not an easy thing during the day of inspecting the press, as it also takes the video and images constantly and progresses to enjoy the next attraction in a quick clip. I kept trying to “be there” more, and take rest periods when I can, to carry my phone or wear Meta Ray Ban glasses To register while just looking around and wandering.
This garden is made to lose yourself in these complex worlds, check a little details – pikmin lying on the edges in Super Nintendo World, and the store windows in Paris magicians and the abandoned vehicle in the dark universe with the jars of the eyeliner and other pickled parts. Or a few offers from real people: the evil violinist who warns us of strange things and then walks madly, or the proud dragon coaches on the island of Burke.

Return in 2016I said that the experience of the overwhelming theater in the real world in New York felt more virtual truth than any headphones I wore that year. In 2018I felt this way on how to simulate the other theater experience, and in 2023, Meow Wolf Make me feel tired ideas More depth than technology companies can.
Art and entertainment can design the future in ambitious ways, sometimes with actual technology and at other times with magic tricks and a little theater. At best for his moments, Epic Universe made me feel a mixture of mixed reality more advanced than any headphones. With all respect for Mario Kart’s AR, my favorite horse riding had no mediator at all, only using the world around me to mix the facts in almost invisible ways.
The Presthow of Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experience, the last area we can record before riding. The animation here walks and moves shockingly.
However, the best things I have tried are also things I could not take pictures or videos. We can record everything in the garden except for horseback riding and show themselves. This was disappointing, but I don’t think registration will even help explain what he felt at the present time.
I am used to that with experiences in overwhelming technology such as VR and AR; Be in the headphones completely different from the capture that you may see on the screen. It might be so. I had to leave my own devices in my pockets or cabinets and take everything with my eyes and remember them later as I wanted … or as the delusions formulated them for me, like the best magic tricks. I later thought about them, I wonder, “How did they do so, exactly?”
Epic -universe: Ultra -charging from reality
As good as an epic universe, it is also an entertainment garden made in traditional mode. The “Hub and Spokes” design is repeated on a classic model of Disneyland. I like it if the entertainment gardens were able to break the template more than that and get a dramatically experimental, but I am not sure that this will do at all at the price of making the entertainment gardens.
All lands in Epic Universe rely on very strong intellectual properties, known films, monsters and games – except for Semestial Park, which has a comfortable Atlantis atmosphere, full of gardens, fountains and statues. But it also works like an overwhelming palate cleaner between deep diving, which is a place to reset and possibly pressure it. EPIC looks like a superhor charging approach and restarting it in escaping from the facts and going to another place through its gates – sometimes, even gates inside the gates.

Now, I return again, I find that my memories of it gets more powerful from my initial experience. It is a more legendary feeling, which may be the entire idea. I want to move. And yes, it tops my next family vacation list: I hope they are there with me, and they definitely feel the same. It is expensive, but it is clear that this garden is the great that must be visited now, and it earns this award.
Some experiences of mixed reality have begun to climb to the ideas that approach this transfer. But improved EPIC technology is a great reminder of the quality of mixtures. Mario Kart’s AR Visor Tech, already four years Since it appeared for the first time in Japan in 2021I wonder what comes after that. If the epic universe is any indicator, we are only at the beginning of the mixture.
