You might see these heat expansion joints in hallways of Helios Grand Hotel. The building is structurally 3 different towers next to each other. These joints are between the towers. Aerial photo Aug 18, 2023.

Look for 3 stars in the pavement near the Helios Grand Hotel porte-cochère roof line, when going to/from parking. These stars came from a confetti burst in lobby during a Team Member event prior to grand opening. Soon after, these stars were sealed on the concrete!

Parking machine at Helios Grand Hotel. Note the visitor rate. Room key is required to enter Epic Universe from Helios Grand Hotel. This seems to relax when Bar Helios opens, so that park guests with reservations can easily visit and return.

Might be fun to share ... • Yellow arrow is at a pavement circle in the Epic Universe entry plaza. • Yellow line is the border of the Monster, Gamer, Hero and Viking parking sections. • A 5 minute walk from this "four corners" location to the arrow.
