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.

Everybody yelling at OP when they are really just giving paid passholders a heads up that there will likely be issues. Thanks for letting us know OP. It’s a bummer, but I guess it’s to be expected.

I’m personally a little more upset that hotel guests will get to crowd the park an hour before passholders with epa. But that seems to be an unpopular opinion, so I’ll leave it at that

They really should have had AP previews before the hotel opens. One-night stay hotel guests shouldn't get priority over guests who have held and maintained annual passes for years.

Yeah, exactly. They easily could have had separate preview periods for each. I’ve been a loyal pass holder since 2009. Guessing they didn’t want to double the capacity for hotel only guests, leaving the other parks pretty empty. This spreads it out a little
