In a surprise announcement over the weekend Universal Studios revealed that a temporary promotional attraction is coming to their Hollywood and Orlando theme parks! The press release reads as this: “Attention, attention, ladies and gentlemen! Gather ’round, for Universal Studios has an exciting announcement that is sure to light up your radioactive cores of curiosity. Prepare yourselves for a mind-blowing experience as Universal Studios proudly unveils its latest temporary attraction: The Oppenheimer Experience! That’s right, folks, we’re bringing you a theme park adventure like no other, paying tribute to the father of the atomic bomb himself, J. Robert Oppenheimer.”
Seeing as this is Nolan’s first film to not be a Warner Bros. produced project (Universal won the bid) and the success left in the wake of Barbenheimer, this makes sense that they would want to capitalize on the momentum of the film.
What Could It Be Exactly?
The rest of the press release states:
“As you enter the Oppenheimer section of the park, Los Alamos, the first thing you’ll notice is the exhilarating ambiance. The air is filled with excitement, as if you’ve stepped into a top-secret laboratory on the brink of scientific discovery. The park staff, dressed in lab coats and radiation suits, will greet you with a smile that screams, “Radiation has never been so fun!
Los Alamos testing site, much of the site will be recreated at the theme park.
Once inside, get ready to embark on a journey through Oppenheimer’s life. The tour begins with a thrilling ride called “The Nuclear Rollercoaster.” Picture yourself hurtling through loops and twists, while mushroom clouds explode around you, all to the tune of catchy 1950s jingles. Don’t worry, it’s all just harmless fun, right? Who needs eyebrows anyway?”
Next up we have The Manhattan Project: Escape Room. Here, you and your friends will be locked in a room, tasked with solving riddles and puzzles to prevent the launch of a nuclear warhead. Can you save the world from mutually assured destruction? The clock is ticking, but don’t worry, even if you fail, it’s not the end of the world. Well, maybe it is, but hey, that’s part of the charm!
After all the excitement, it’s time to unwind at The Geiger Café. Here, you can indulge in dishes such as the Fission Fried Chicken, Uranium Sliders, and Split-Atom-Pea Soup. Don’t worry about the slight glow to the food, it’s just our special seasoning. And for dessert make sure to try the Plutonium Pudding, which will leave a warm lingering sensation in your taste buds for centuries to come.”
Universal Is Promising Quite An Evening Finale
“For those looking for an adrenaline rush, don’t miss the main event, The Nuclear Blast Spectacular! If you think Disneyland’s firework show is amazing, you haven’t seen anything yet! As the grand finale of the Oppenheimer attraction, this show promises to be a blast—quite literally. Witness a breathtaking demonstration of controlled explosions, as trained professionals display the awe-inspiring power of the atomic bomb.
Bear witness to the vivid colors and dazzling light displays as they radiate through the park, reminding you of the immense destruction that can be unleashed with just a few pounds of uranium. Per our lawyers’ suggestion we will be handing out complimentary lead ponchos and Oakley sunglasses for use during the show
Despite some pushback from Nintendo over the “insensitivity” of opening a nuclear bomb themed section of the park right next to a Japanese property (Super Nintendo World), the plans are going forward to have the Oppenheimer experience opened right next to the colorful area by this weekend.
So mark your calendars and get ready to ignite your enthusiasm for atomic energy! The Oppenheimer Experience at Universal Studios is set to open soon, bringing a captivating blend of thrills, laughs, and a healthy dose of radioactivity. Remember, it’s all in the name of science and entertainment! We promise, this limited time event will be a blast—literally and metaphorically.”
