As a theme park writer, I spend as much time as I can inside them. But since I don’t actually live in Southern California or Orlando, I can’t visit them as much as I might like. For that reason, I also love to consume media about theme parks. I own countless books about theme parks and the people who made them, and I’ve seen more documentaries about them than I can count.
For this reason, I was really looking forward to next week. A new three-part series Epic Ride: The Story Of Universal Theme Parks, was set to debut on Monday for everybody with a Peacock subscription. The show was essentially Universal’s version of Disney+'s The Imagineering Story, a documentary that looked back at the history of the parks, and likely also gave us a glimpse into the future. Unfortunately, I (and everybody else waiting for this show) will now need to wait a bit longer.
