Thanks. I get that its probable easier for them to use a third party site - but was a PITA for passholders in my experience - especially if you had bought a pass but it was not active you could not join the group. I stopped using Facebook MANY years ago so I had to have an account just for UOAP and I even gave up on that 5 or 6 years ago.

Not sure if this will be any better but I really wish they just had an area on their actual site that was up to date with all this info - of course they could never even get my AP to login so I could buy single day Epic tickets so not sure they could handle some sort of AP area on their website.

From the spectacular queue to the ride itself, here is a closer glimpse of some of the unbelievable details you’ll discover in the queue (and beyond!) of the Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry attraction inside The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic at Universal Epic Universe!

I’m trying to avoid spoilers for the Monsters Unchained and Harry Potter rides, so does anyone know if there’s any good write ups about the ride intensity and general experience?

I get it. I'm eagerly looking forward to trip reports that are Epic Universe for Ride Cowards. I'm sure there is a balance like in the other parks and they're hyping the thrill rides because that's what generates buzz and gets people excited.

haven't read an exact write-up...I watched a lot of video reviews though and monsters unchained was compared to Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, with a similar ride vehicle, but the animatronics were next level. The Harry Potter Ride was compared a few times to a mash-up of Rise of the Resistance and Spider-Man. I'd say if you can handle those rides, you'll be good.

One thing with Monsters Unchained...I know it's previews, but it seemed to be down a lot, which I imagine will continue to be an issue due to the animatronics people have described so far.

Glad I went ahead and pulled the trigger immediately

They have just been immensely underprepared for this from the beginning and doesn't seem like they've looked to make any improvement. I guess they figure they'll deal with the one day mess and move on, this will probably be the last big one.

 

[GhostHost24]

Ya I'm shocked they silent dropped these with no info with it

And even now I don't think any of their socials have acknowledged it

I'm not, that helps spread out the demand and lower the impact on their servers.

But I agree that I'm surprised it isn't on their social pages yet.

My hold time was about 40 minutes.

I'm about to exit. I have tickets for 2 days, late May. No sense booking air and hotel to see part of EPIC
