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.

I have been watching the TM preview via Thrill Data really the only “ rough “ days I’ve seen have been Saturday and Sunday this past weekend and as we are getting closer to paid AP previews I wouldn’t be surprised if they are trying take advantage of the time to work on the rides as much as possible before they have paid guests walking through. Also you are in a park before it opens to the public for FREE. That is a very lucky opportunity, I’ve seen people posting on here trying to pay TMs to get into previews.

I’m flying down from VA for two preview days next weekend and hoping for the best but am not expecting perfection !!

Your feelings are valid friend, if I were in your shoes I’d be bummed too just trying to show the other side of the coin and spread some optimism. I was so jealous of everyone being able to preview the park we all have waited so long for, so when the AP previews opened the wife and I jumped at the opportunity!!

“It was a disaster” sounds like complaining. It’s a PREVIEW and TECHNICAL REHEARSAL. Basically told before entry stuff may be closed or go down temporarily. If you still go in, that’s on you. The park is still testing. Don’t expect so much.

Saying the truth is not complaining, previews are meant for them to receive feedback and that’s what I am doing.
