Peacock has released a 2-minute trailer for its three-part docu-series, Epic Ride: The Story of Universal Theme Parks.
The program is to premiere Nov. 17 and will feature new interviews with Steven Spielberg, Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall, Jon M. Chu, Bryce Dallas Howard, Michelle Yeoh and Vin Diesel, who all have connections to rides at Universal’s theme parks.
“The docu-series pulls back the curtain on Universal Orlando Resort’s groundbreaking new theme park, Universal Epic Universe, taking viewers on a behind-the-scenes ride as engineers, costume and production designers, choreographers, performers and an array of creative executives race to the finish line to deliver the theme park of the future,” the streaming service said in a press release Monday.
New rides at the park in Orlando, Fla., which opened this spring, include Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry of Magic, Curse of the Werewolf, Monsters Unleashed, Dragon Racer’s Rally, Hiccup’s Wing Gliders, Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, Mine-Cart Madness, Yoshi’s adventure and Stardust Racers.
