Universal's Epic Universe - News and Discussion

The ride is very popular, it's also incredibly efficient.

I wish Disney would design their new rides this way.

Wait times at Epic are horrendous today. Even Yoshi hardly dips below 55 minutes. Donkey Kong's time was listed as 95 min, yet we waited over 2 hours. Luckily we had EP for other rides.

Ministry has been delayed/shutdown for hours. It is also scheduled to close early.

Reports like this are keeping my expectations low. I'll be visiting the Friday before Labor day and I'm not sure what to expect. I will not stress out about having to do everything, I'll be back in a couple of years max. It helps that my group is not big on roller coasters, so only a few key attractions remain.
I won't buy Express, I already splurged for the EP for HHN and budget is not unlimited.

Let's not get carried away here...It's about the only ride in that park thus far that is efficient along with Mario Kart (low load capacity, but it rarely breaks down). Tron and Guardians are both efficient from a breakdown standpoint, being able to run in inclement weather also is a bonus. Remy averages 31 minutes of downtime over the last 30 days and overall is an incredibly efficient attraction in terms of capacity it can push out in a day. Runaway Railway can churn through guests as well and is averaging 42 minutes of downtime over the last 30 days. Millennium Falcon is probably the most efficient ride either park has put out in the last 5-6 years in terms of breakdowns plus what it can put through on a given day.

Is the cost for express more day of or day before versus more in advance?
Going next Friday was originally planning to go to Epic just on Saturday and purchase express but now I am debating on also going Friday and not getting express for either day unless we need it last minute. Thoughts ??

It only goes up. Buy it as soon as possible. It's dynamic pricing and will continue to increase.

Are AP Epic tickets no longer available? The link is still there but after I add tickets to my cart I get message "this item is no longer available"
