Wkly Hit List, 8/16/2022

In about two weeks, class will be in session for all those college students on the planet. Which means Kwame, the Creator of KlicKNet, FakeTV Box and Wkly Hit List will be off to Brooklyn College for Senior Year. As the host of FTB and Wkly Hit List, my producers have told me it's going to difficult to operate with limited assistance from the head of the table, and I'm not talking about Roman Reigns. As I said before, I'll be leaving Italy on August 24th after doing one more episode of FakeTV Box and one more LIVEstream next week in this great country. This right now is the second-to-last edition of Wkly Hit List and then we're moving the show to New York Saturdays in September, maybe just after the D23 Expo. FakeTV Box will be taking over the KlicKNet YouTube channel for D23 Expo Weekend Beginning September 9th, but the first FTB episode back in the New York studio could be before then on Labor Day Monday. All and all, it's going to be real busy in September, so stay tuned for more updates and stick around for the 7-Day Round-Up starting right now.

Now for this week's Sneak Peek of the Week, we going to take a trip to Freeform Network. Good Trouble is in the midst of its fourth season this summer and while I haven't seen the show at all, I can honestly say that watching the clip you are about to see made me a bit hyped. Fans are excited that the show has been renewed for a fifth season about two weeks ago, and they're going to be really excited when the latest new episode hits the airwaves tomorrow night. Check out this.

Our Inside Scoop this week is going very EPIC than before because it's all about Universal's Epic Universe, the upcoming theme park being constructed as part of Universal Orlando Resort in Florida. Despite construction being delayed in April 2020 and then paused in July 2020 for nearly a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, everything seems to be on the right track. Construction restarted back in March of 2021 last year and with high hopes of completing the park in Summer 2025. As previously rumored many times, the themed lands coming to Epic Universe will be Super Nintendo World, How to Train Your Dragon, Universal Classic Monsters, and the Wizarding World.

Aerial View of Epic Universe

From this aerial photo taken by bioreconstruct, a very handy Twitter site that gives you a nice view of your favorite parks in the U.S., construction of Epic Universe has been coming along great. Although, rumors have been going around that things have changed and we might get newer rides than the ones that were drawn up in the original plans of the park. For instance, one of the interesting lands being built at Epic Universe is Universal Monsters, themed to be similar to Frankenstein Village and based on Universal Pictures' most famous horror movies in the 1930s starring Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolfman, etc. According to orlandoparkstop.com, another handy site with two of its own original YouTube channels, there has been some mystery going on for over a year that at Universal Monsters; it was originally planned to open with a major indoor ride and an indoor theater, but there now has been some recent permit changes.

See the arrow, that's what I'm talking about.

For more on this, I recommend that you KlicKNettars check out this full-length video from Theme Park Stop which tells just how well construction's been going for the entire park of Universal's Epic Universe.

Universal's Epic Universe News Mega Update — NEW RIDE 
CONFIRMED and CHANGES RUMORED

As you just heard, Orlando Park Stop reported a rumor that the theater within this land was cut, and that a family spinning roller coaster may take its place. However, nothing has been confirmed at this time, but we'll be keeping watch and see what happens over at the construction site. On top of that, we can't wait to what Epic Universe looks like in real life when it opens in the Summer of 2025, it would be the perfect vacation spot in the near future, unless Walt Disney World has anything to say about it, like at the 2022 D23 Expo next month.
