TheWickedExperience
Take a look at the Oz vibes inside theWickedExperience at Universal Studios Orlando . Courtesy of theme park content creatorsPark Hop , here ’s a peek at the shopping address make full with rooms that immerse visitor in Shiz and Emerald City - theme room filled with airplane propeller fromWickedand prescribed ware . Not only that , it ’s so far the only Universal Studios motif parking area where Elphaba and Glinda characters made a brief show as part of the fun but only on a limited time basis ( “ surprise and joy ” appearances were unplanned , as per Universal ) . For fans on the West Coast , it ’s our holiday want for them to also take an Emerald City railroad train to Universal Studios Hollywood too . approximate we ’ll have to make do with a smallerWickedstore and themed food , but no face characters to run into . by all odds feels like a missed opportunity to make them a feature for the holiday at both commons this winter because of how immense the movie is , hopefully byWicked Part Two , Elphie and Glinda will be a part of the motif parking area action for good ! Give us moreWickedat Epic Universe ! !
