Every time I look at the Epic Universe model I get VERY excited for May 22nd!! Who’s all gonna be there?
A scale model of the Stardust Racers roller coasters that will be opening at Universal Orlando Resort’s new theme park, Epic Universe. The model shows two racing roller coaster cars cresting over a hill on the track. One side’s track is and orange yellow and the other side’s track is a yellowish green. A view of the scale model of the corcular Constellation Carousel building in Epic Universe with a statue atop the center, fountains spraying up high beside it, surrounded by lush greenery and landscaping. The Stardust Racer coaster trains racing each other through a banked turn surrounded by trees. One train is on an orange-yellow track and one runs along a yellowish green track.

Late night reflections about how much I will miss the Rivers of America. The views, the peaceful vibes, the cooling effect of the water on the park, the calming ride to break up a busy day. I know not everyone appreciates it. But I’ll miss it.
The steamship named the Liberty Belle docked on the Rivers of America at the Magic Kingdom at twilight. The water of the river is very calm, almost completely still, so the lights on the 3 floors of the Liberty Belle make a perfect reflection of the steamship in the water, creating a beautiful, peaceful scene.
