The Jim Hill Media Podcast Network Epic Universe at Capacity: What Changes When the Park Sells Out? (Ep. 62)
Jim Hill and Eric Hersey return from a summer packed with parks, previews, and one sold-out Friday at Epic Universe. In this episode, the duo reflects on the dramatic changes between their April preview visit and a mid-July return - sharing firsthand insight on crowd flow, character absences, ride downtime, and that sweltering Florida heat. From WWE's Wyatt 6 haunting Halloween Horror Nights to Hulk Hogan’s long-standing Universal ties, this episode blends news, nostalgia, and heat-induced honesty. Plus: hidden gems at Confisco Grille, underwhelming face paint stats, and the rising need for more shade, shows, and slow days at Epic.
