Universal's Epic Universe - News and Discussion

Hotel guest can book tickets if they are available on your check in day for any days during you stay. You cant get them in advance.

Awesome! We may try it anyway and just make it a swimming pool day if we can’t get tickets

I'm interested in this too. My understanding is you spend a lot of time on your back, but I don't know how far back you tilt.

I've never even done Forbidden Journey because this makes me nervous, but I really want to do Monsters.

A little more than Forbidden Journey. Like 20 degrees more than laying flat (head lower than body)

For anyone that's been to EPIC, can you wear a slim 3 prong waist pack on the rides with lockers that don't require a metal detector? I have never had to place mine in a locker at Hagrid's or Mummy and just wondered what the situation is over at EPIC - hoping I don't have to fool with lockers on Hiccups or Monstors Unchained regardless of how much nicer they are than the ones at the legacy parks (besides Velocicoaster, of course.). TIA!

That's what I was waiting for! Had a trip booked in May anyways, just grabbed a couple days at Epic!

Did this work for others as well? I can't book for either Blue Dragon or Atlantic - I get a red error message saying either there was a problem with my request or there are no reservations. I tried booking for 2 people and 3 people - any days - through July. Nothing worked.

It seems like they are open again.

Was able to book Atlantic, can't find a way to book Blue Dragon though

Has anyone seen if tickets are also going to be available for hotel guests during this time frame? Because I'm starting to think...

Looks like UO finally put in park hours in the app for opening week.

9-9 every day... Nothing posted for June yet.

Previews are extended to 05/19.

I'm so tempted to cancel our trip for the grand opening and just go to multiple preview dates. We were willing to deal with the crowds in order to see Epic early, but now we can go even earlier....

So sad that epic closes at 9pm. The park looks great at night and only having a short window to enjoy it at night is a bummer. I think we are spoiled with our west coast park hours for Disneyland.

I am thinking about staying 1 night at Universal next Monday, arriving in the evening. What are the odds I will still be able to buy a preview pass for Epic for Tuesday? I am not a passholder.
