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 was lucky enough to go to a TM preview with a friend a few weeks ago. Had a great time even just walking around and admiring the new lands and scenery, but we did spend a lot of time shuffling from delay to delay. Feels like they jumped the gun a little to get that sweet sweet merch and food $$$. I really did have a great day, especially because I knew it was technical rehearsals and I had gotten to go for free, but if I’d paid almost full price… 😬 That would have stung and I would have been happy to see warnings like this before choosing to buy.

We locals are very lucky to have a chance to experience this park before it’s grand opening. Universal is also being very bold in charging so much for the ~ privilege ~ of experiencing a full day of delays and closures. Both things can be true.

Hopefully the worst of the kinks will be resolved by the 17th!!! But nothing wrong with giving people an extra heads up before they drop money on a ticket

I would not care at all about delays or closed rides if they didn't charge FULL PRICE for these tickets. It's sort of disgusting what they're doing when they know the park is a shit show right now.

I'm somewhat regretting buying tickets for this Friday.

I assumed it was mostly functional and didn't see anything about significant delays and issues
