Before the weather interrupted the Universal Celestial Goodnight rehearsal, aerial photographer/videographer bioreconstruct saw the lights changing against the Helios Grand Hotel.

The pink and purple lights against the Helios Grand Hotel changed in waves across the walls. As if it were being reflected through water, it ripples across the side of the hotel.

Watch the video below:

Video of Helios Grand Hotel after last night’s show stop provided an opportunity to see how recently added lights work.
Also a look at when hotel lights returned to normal.

We've been watching the light installations at Epic Universe for months, leading up to the upcoming nighttime spectacular. There are lights throughout the area, largely on building roofs at Helios Grand Hotel, Das Stakehaus, Monsters Unchained, and others.

On July 7, Epic Universe will premiere its fireworks show, Universal Celestial Goodnight. But first, the park will host Fourth of July fireworks for the first time. Bio did spot some rehearsal for the fireworks show last week, too.

Are you excited for Epic Universe to come to life at night? Let us know on social media!
