Universal's Epic Universe - News and Discussion

Who thinks they park is ready for the holidays crowds? I am afraid it could be quite chaos.

No, they won't be ready! We've already taken three trips since May and progress is non-existent. Even with Express, it was normal to wait 45 to 60 minutes. Three months after the preview, we still got escorted out of the same attractions.

We're going back this December. I will report any changes.

After our trip with "only 12,000" allowed in we decided they have way too much to do to bring value to the ticket ........... and we were going to give them a year before we go back.

They've been sold out (of single tickets, at least) for quite some time, hopefully they indeed capped it at some reasonable level.

There's no way they could handle adding it to APs yet, I think they'll need to go at least through spring break with multi-day Epic tickets and see how they handle that before APs would be feasible.

Believe it or not, the best trip we had was during the previews. We didn't get to see the two shows or ride Ministry, but at least the wait times for other rides were tolerable.

FWIW, Epic’s wait times right now range from 25-90 minutes, excepting BatM. This is totally in line with wait times at both IOA and US now, too. I fully understand not wanting to do long waits: I have a pretty low threshold for wait times, myself. But I check wait times fairly often, and I don’t see anything crazy on a regular basis. Yes to outlier bad days and weather issues, but overall, I don’t see anything at Epic I don’t see elsewhere.

We went in May.
Donkey Kong & Werewolf were closed.
HP Show closed halfway to use queue for Ministry
Went to Dragon Show for Dragon to get stuck in air so show stopped.
Ministry down for hours.
Monster Unchained was absolutely the best ride and we rode more than once.
Disappointed with several of the attractions.
We felt was more miss than hit. Sad because we were so excited for it.
Maybe next year ... but certainly hope they are ready to expand already.
