Super Nintendo World characters now featured in the 3 Universal marquee near Epic Universe.
Isle of Berk now featured in the 3 Epic Universe area Universal marquees.
A look at Kirkman Rd SB past Helios Grand Hotel. Stay left to try the elevated traffic circle and get to Epic Universe parking. Stay right to continue to Universal Blvd (and perhaps the Orange County Conv Center area lodging).
Dash cam view of the final of the new Universal marquee to have graphics. Note it has Isle of Berk characters. Today all 3 of the Epic Universe area marquee switched graphics to the five worlds in the park.
Kirkman Rd SB extension fully opened today. Carrier Dr to Universal Blvd. Many drivers missing the ramp to Sand Lake Rd. Making a U-turn at Helios Grand Hotel. No changes to the Sand Lake Rd ramps. Construction continues on the two ramps on the South side.
Some older Test Track signage remains underneath the new canopy construction. Reflection of Spaceship Earth in the windows.

By design, not much to see from the raised traffic circle near Epic Universe. High walls on the sides block views of the park, even from buses. Message board is LED, which has rapidly flashing lamps. Message is: Do not stop 20 MPH
One of the last road signs placed on Epic Blvd. The road to reach Epic Universe guest parking. From this location, make a right at the traffic light ahead, and then there's the parking toll plaza. Sign includes directions to the Universal Studios Florida area. (Via Kirkman Rd.)
Current work on the sidewalk to Helios Grand Hotel. First guests check in this Wednesday April 16.
Universal marquee now with graphics at the corner of Kirkman Rd and Universal Blvd. Stella Nova resort in background.
Electric bus service continues to grow at Universal. Seemed like well past 50% this evening.
Current availability of Epic Universe preview tickets for UOAP annual pass holders.
