Can Philadelphia handle two portals? We're about to find out.

Driving the news: A massive, 30-foot tall portal is being set up at the base of the Art Museum's Rocky Steps from May 16-18.

The so-called Chronos is a traveling ad for the opening of Universal Orlando Resort's immersive theme park — Universal Epic Universe.

How it works: The portal, a replica of the icon for Universal's fourth theme park, will put on night shows with lighting and music, per a company news release.

You can also watch "action-packed sequences" highlighting the new park.
It'll be open from 10am-8pm.

✈️ 1 cool thing: Visitors can enter a sweepstakes for a trip to Universal Orland Resort and the new theme park.

🤞 The bottom line: Don't blow this, Philly.

It's time to show the world Philly is a safe place for traveling art installations after two flops.
