In this episode of The Epic Universal Podcast, Jim Hill and Eric Hersey take a wild detour into Universal’s 1960s event history—when guests could watch a ceremonial Aztec princess sacrifice as part of the “Mardi Gras to Mexico” celebration. Yes, really.

They also dive into the latest Universal news and rumors leading up to Epic Universe’s debut.

  • Universal’s new Epic Universe Portal Tour and how it’s drawing nationwide attention
  • A full breakdown of Epic Universe’s Express Pass pricing and early reactions
  • The $150 Monster Make-Up Experience—worth the price or a pass?
  • Rumors surrounding Rip Ride Rockit’s removal and what could replace it
  • Drones returning to CineSational: how Universal is reviving nighttime shows
  • The Voladores de Papantla, Aztec dancers, tequila bars, and scripted sacrifices that defined Universal’s wild early festival days
