Epic Universe, the first major U.S. theme park to open in decades and Universal’s $7 billion shot at vacation supremacy, is officially open. I got to visit while the park was in previews to see and experience what Universal had created. wsj.com/business/unive… via @WSJ

Six Flags to bring back Park Presidents at 10 parks after eliminating the positions in a cost-cutting move last year. Interesting the one park that seemed to get the most improvements over the past decade and had a park president people recognize (Fiesta Texas) is not included.

New: @WhiteHouse proposing major cut in essential air service

If you haven’t already booked a flight for summer travel, beware: Airlines are raising fares, adding baggage fees and dialing back routes due to higher jet-fuel costs on.wsj.com/3PXK7wF

The best in the biz, as far as I’m concerned (though I may be biased!)

.@DawnGilbertson is a great reporter and writer. I thoroughly enjoy living vicariously through her travel adventures.

Page Thompson (President of New Ventures, Universal Destinations & Experiences) on Universal's location-based entertainment strategy. “This concept will continue to expand, and we're looking a lot more into how to create these permanent attractions in locations where we might not be building a major theme park in the future."

Obsessed that Jenny Nicholson made a video about an indie film that a high-school classmate of mine made (and that other classmates co-starred in). (Fun fact: I read early versions of this movie’s script while in musical theater class with Shayne.)

NEW: In a letter to employees, United CEO Scott Kirby says the airline is prepping for oil to hit $175/barrel & “doesn't get back down to $100/barrel until the end of 2027.” United is shaving 3% of off-peak flights - “think redeyes, Tues/Wed/Sat flying” - this spring & summer.

The rumors were true! Ragin’ Cajun from Six Flags America is going to Six Flags Great Adventure for the 2026 season at least. Guess they couldn’t sell it on Zamperla’s resale market so decided to try to use it to prop up SFGAd after a disastrous 2025 😂 🤷🏻‍♂️

Congrats to @qiddiya_en for now officially welcoming guests into Aquarabia. This water park looks incredible and I can’t wait to check it out one day- some of their attractions are SO unique
