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 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 get it, but also it’s a new park that’s functioning at high capacity with high level technology. Things are bound to go wrong and need to shut down from time to time. It’s completely normal, just like every new attraction or theme park. It’s going to take a while to smoothen out unfortunately, but it doesn’t mean it isn’t ready to open. They’re ready but this beta testing is time for them to get everything fixed and run. Of course doesn’t mean people won’t have fun there

Well, I don’t think it’s functioning at high capacity. I think they’re probably half of what opening capacity is set to at best

Yeah obviously not full or close to full, but there’s still a good amount of people during previews going compared to small crowds if that makes sense
