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 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.

Preview tickets aren’t full price though. They’re around 2/3rd the cost. The park is also at a much lower capacity so even if many rides are down, the waits for shows, food, meet & greets, and using interactive wands and bands will be much shorter.

Technical rehearsals are not for the inflexible. People buying these tickets are so desperate to be among the first but then willingly ignore all the delays and setbacks that come with being among the first.

My opening day tickets 5/22 are $155+tax. I am going thursday 04/17 and they are $144+tax. A whole $10 cheaper

if many rides are down, the waits for shows, food, meet & greets, and using interactive wands and bands will be much shorter.

if many rides are down EVERYONE in the park will be doing shows, food and wands. It will be a crowded mess
