Universal Celestial Goodnight Audio Testing Spotted — Epic Universe's First Nighttime Spectacular Is Coming

Epic Universe has been missing one pillar that every major theme park relies on to close out a night: a spectacular. That appears to be changing. Chip and Co reports that guests and fans have spotted audio testing for a show called Universal Celestial Goodnight — and the audio cues are strong enough to make the park's first nighttime spectacular feel imminent.

No official opening date has been announced, but audio testing is typically one of the final stages before a show begins technical rehearsals. Epic Universe opened over a year ago without a dedicated nighttime show, making this one of the most anticipated additions still to come to the resort's newest park.

The imagery shows significant structural progress on both attractions, with the land's lush South American theming already beginning to emerge from the construction walls.
