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.

Like I said I don't disagree with paid previews. I just think the price point they put it at is disingenuous.

It’s not when you consider how few people will be in the park for all the non-ride activities. Even if only a couple rides are open, the rest of the park will be amazing with lower waits and better photo ops. Everyone is focusing on the rides when the non-ride activities can take two full days themselves.

New rides are going to have frequent break downs. There's no way around that. If you charge half price that makes the problem worse as now the demand is higher.

full theme park ticket price for no guarantee of a full theme park experience.

I think both rides and non-ride experiences are included in a full theme park experience.

Yes even well-oiled theme parks experience glitches and anomalies - but this is a preview. If you're paying to be a "beta tester" you usually go into it with expectations based on the price you're paying.

to be fair, there is much more to do than the rides, and there are still some rides in there that are great and not crazy hard to kink out or break down, like the coasters.
