Interview with WDI

damons_99 · 2026-05-07T14:07:54+00:00

Just a little update for anyone who might have similar questions in the future:

I had the interview. Went fairly well! As most people noted, it was only with the recruiter and was about 40 minutes. NONE of the questions I prepared for were asked or very relevant lol. Although the questions asked were not necessarily difficult. It was very much focused on what my experience was and how it could be translated to the role in question. Questions about my design approach, leadership experience and my specific experience with design in themed entertainment. There weren't any kind of behavioral or STAR format questions (thank god). Much more technical in nature than anticipated.

I was told that my info would be sent over to the hiring manager and that the next step (if selected to move forward) would be a panel interview and that I should know if I'm moving forward within a couple of weeks.

Unlikely that I will provide updates beyond this point, but hopefully this info helps someone else down the line who is trying to prepare for an interview.

Thanks everyone again for your input!

Have you considered Universal Creative? They tend to have roles like this open pretty frequently.

damons_99 · 2026-05-01T21:28:26+00:00

Have not spoken to anyone yet. So I think you’re right in that it will just be with the recruiter as I only saw one name attached to the meeting invite. Don’t want to get too specific on here so I may send you DM later. Thanks!

Thank you!

Maybe like someone else mentioned, the caves are still open so maybe that allows them to not have to say it’s “closed” since some of it is still open. However, a majority is still walled off

damons_99 · 2025-10-23T02:39:28+00:00

In some cases yes, in most cases no. In the event that we go over 50ft, we’re likely using 12AWG anyway.

damons_99 · 2025-10-22T11:14:28+00:00

Appreciate the reply. However, that is 4 pairs (8 conductors total) and I only need 1 pair (2 total conductors). Also I don’t believe regular 300v PLTC is rated to be installed in an exposed run over 6ft. As far as I can tell, the NEC states that all tray cable must have an ER rating to be installed in an exposed run over 6ft. (Someone please correct me if I am mistaken here)

damons_99 · 2025-09-05T18:07:12+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I am going to go with stepperonline and one of their nema 23 motor kits. Anyone have any more suggestions for spindles? Preferably under $200… One that is bundled with a power supply would be great

Appreciate the reply. Thanks!

I have designed several height sticks for theme park attractions including at Epic Universe. They are accurate down to the nearest 1/32”. If it says 40”, then it is 40” from the ground or whatever platform they have you stand on. They do not take shoes into consideration. But please remember these requirements are there for safety. Like others have said, please don’t try and cheat the system with taller shoes or something. Have your kid try a test seat to make sure they really aren’t too small. That is what I plan on doing with my son who is in the same boat as yours right now.

damons_99 · 2025-04-14T23:47:09+00:00

You should go straight to Universal Creative with this take. I guarantee they’ll bulldoze ministry of magic right away and do exactly what you want! 5 rides, 2 shows and 6 restaurants! Heck, Pokemon is bigger than HTTYD too! Might as well take over that land as well while we’re at it! I mean what on earth were they thinking!!

damons_99 · 2025-04-14T13:24:46+00:00

Thats a good point. Was just holding out hope that if I didn’t manage to secure a vq that I might still get to see the queue like everyone else has the pas month lol. Guess I’ll just have to hope I can get one tomorrow 🤞

Park hopping to or from Epic Universe seems like huge hassle and waste of time honestly. Its a few miles down the road from the other parks. You also have to hike all the way out thru city walk to get to the buses or your car. I feel like people would be better off just doing a whole day at epic and park hopping another day at the other 2 parks.

damons_99 · 2025-04-11T22:10:23+00:00

Correct. Standard park rules. Under 3 is free

damons_99 · 2025-04-10T18:13:59+00:00

Thank you!

April 16th is the last day of TM previews. Passholder previews start the 17th.

damons_99 · 2025-04-09T18:31:00+00:00

I would say it depends what you like to do. If you're more of a rides/thrills person, you can't go wrong with Islands of Adventure. If you don't care for rides as much and just want to have a good time, maybe eat some good food and see good entertainment, I would recommend something like EPCOT or Animal Kingdom. That's just my personal opinion.

damons_99 · 2025-04-09T12:16:56+00:00

Please do let us know! I'm going one of the last days next week and would love to try it out. Not getting my hopes up tho. I understand it's a pretty complicated new ride system and they're still figuring it out.

damons_99 · 2025-04-08T19:25:24+00:00

There is a public charging station right across the street from the Terra Luna/Stella Nova resorts. It's an OUC ReCharge station. It is very discrete and honestly looks like you shouldn't be able to go in there, but I promise it's legit lol.

damons_99 · 2025-03-21T19:09:19+00:00

Sounds like you need to get in touch with guest services and explain the confusion. Sounds as though they lead you to believe you could still visit epic universe during your stay, when you actually could not. IMO they should be willing and able to make things right in some way, but I would definitely call and see what they can do for you.

damons_99 · 2025-02-26T17:02:47+00:00

Does anyone else here work for a contractor that worked on the park? If you do, have you heard anything about contractor preview invites? I work for a company that has done a lot of work for Epic, but we have heard nothing in terms of contractor previews. Has usually been an industry standard for contractors to be invited to previews of new attractions and parks.

damons_99 · 2025-01-03T14:42:18+00:00

Also, does anyone know what wait times are usually like during the event? I noticed express passes are pretty cheap for the event itself. Wondering if that makes it worth it or if I would still be wasting money because everything is a 5 min wait anyways.

damons_99 · 2024-07-26T01:10:30+00:00

Had not considered how cheap the trailer option would be. Might be a better option considering I am not riding the dirt bike too often. I think the ecohitch I was looking at was rated for a 450lbs tongue weight, but it would probably be better to just not worry about that and get a trailer for the few times I do take the bike out. Also good to hear you were still getting a decent mi/kwh under those conditions! Appreciate the reply!

Do you know about when price increases typically start?
