Has the Theme Park Bubble Finally Burst? 🎢 We’re breaking down Comcast’s quarterly earnings call, the corporate spin-off, and the shocking attendance drop at Universal Parks!

Join your favorite co-hosts, Will & Dave, for an emergency audio deep-dive on the latest Comcast quarterly call! The numbers are in, and while Epic Universe is bringing in massive revenue, Comcast officially confirmed that attendance softened across Universal Parks. What does this mean for the future of theme park vacations, ticket pricing, and future expansions? 

In this episode, we break down:

  • 📉 The Attendance Shockwave: Why park attendance took a dip and what executives are blaming it on.
  • đź’° Epic Universe Revenue vs. Operating Costs: Epic Universe is printing cash, so why did overall theme park profits drop by 5%?
  • 🏢 The Massive Corporate Split: What Comcast’s cable TV spin-off means for Universal Destinations & Experiences (and why theme park budgets are safe)! 
  • đź”® What Comes Next: How Universal plans to pivot for the rest of 2026 and beyond. 

đź’¬ WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! Did you notice lighter crowds at Universal this summer? Is price fatigue keeping you away from the parks, or are you holding out for future expansions? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
