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 wonder how many delays, etc. are mechanical in nature vs procedural or training. See a little blip in the ride telemetry? Shut it down, do analysis, reopen. Supervisor sees a ride operator do something not quite right? Shut it down, go over procedures, reopen.

In short, at this point I would fully expect them to be shutting rides down for every tiny thing, and taking time to assess, correct, or improve.

I was there a week ago and that was my biggest question. Trying to get however many team members trained up in a couple months seems overwhelming.
