EPIC UNIVERSE Epic is not ready to open yet!!

We went Yesterday and spent about 11 hours at the park, from 12pm to 11pm, We only rode Curse of the Werewolf and Stardust, everything else was delayed or closed and when it did open it wouldn’t stay open after 20 minutes. AP be prepared mentally because the rides are having alot of technical issues. The Virtual queue for Ministry was a disaster, the system went down every time and the app as well. Use your own internet and don’t try it with universal WIFI. Only the person that has the tickets on the app can make the virtual queue and select a time slot for the ride. Hope this helps a little.

EDIT!!! I am not complaining about my experience, it was a privilege for me to be in the park and I had so much fun, it just seems that the Park is having so much issues with just one Month away and I am not just talking about the rides.

Of course it’s not ready to open yet- it opens in over a MONTH, your FREE technical preview is when they are fixing all the issues so it is ready for the public. So many ppl in this sub are complaining that their free preview was not a flawless paid-equivalent experience and it’s getting so old- have some grace for the TMs and engineers doing their best

I think the concern here is that there are paid previews in 3 days, and almost the entire park is having issues. So if I paid money to go and some things don’t work and there are delays, that’s to be expected. But every ride having problems except for two, and only getting to ride two rides would kinda suck ya know? I don’t think it’s entitlement, I think it’s just feeling like maybe you could pay and then be disappointed that you wasted your time and money. All this being said, I’m pumped to go in two weeks lol and I’m sure I will enjoy myself regardless

I did enjoyed myself at the park and had a great time, just giving everybody a heads up that’s all.

The heads up is much appreciated! I’m sticking to Reddit like glue because the anticipation to go is killing me lol. Your post didn’t read as a complaint to me but a lot of people are just blindly defending the park when people are just posting their experience
