Hello everyone! It's that time of the week again. I'm here. I'm Tracy and I'm here with Lee and Michelle. But no, Chris. Yeah. Michelle's still driving back from Orlando from like a month ago.

I mean, it's a really long drive. So long, yeah long. Yeah, to stop off and see BTCS, so now we're not talking, obviously. I know. Yeah. The last time I got sidetracked in Tampa when I found out BTS was coming. So this time I'm driving back from Tampa. That's fair. Yeah. No, Chris.

He's a bit bogged down this week.

So we're going to crack on.

Rating them each on four different areas.

Those areas are The Rides.

The shows in live entertainment, which includes meat and greets and walk around characters,

food and drink.

And ambience, which is everything else.

Theaming, music, details, lighting, nighttime and daytime atmosphere and anything else we feel fits into that bracket.

Okay, cool.

To clarify, we'll be rating each area out of 10, not 5, 10.

Yeah, I did think about doing 5, but 10 gives us a little bit more scope because I feel like these are going to be relatively close.

Okay.

And we are discussing Dark Universe this week.

So let's kick off with rides.

But Dark Universe, it's such a tough one because for me, Monsters Unchained is arguably the best

ride.
