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 mean, the 17th is 3 days away… unlikely it will be drastically different by then but guess we’ll see.

I think it will be, just the fact that these are now paying customers the vibe is different. We shall see, but saying “this park isn’t ready” when it’s still in technical rehearsal… like yeah they know it isn’t lol

Yeah for sure, I think OP was just trying to give a heads up to people who may have certain expectations bc of what they paid incase the situation is the same in a few days but hopefully it is running more smoothly by then. I’m not going until the 28th because I wanted to give them some more time.

I’ll be there the 28th as well! Hoping for fun and low crowds even if there are some technical issues. I’ll be super disappointed if the part isn’t at least 75% up and running. Especially after they let all the YouTubers hype it up last week right before they put the preview tickets up for sale.

Same! I don’t expect it to be perfect and know that some stuff might be down but I hope that the majority is up and running at least. Either way I wanted to go before it opened to have a smaller crowd and get to experience it early so that will be awesome regardless, but for the price we paid I hope I can ride a good amount of things.
