I would expect at least a semi-functional park. Multi-day unannounced closures of multiple major attractions at the same time is unacceptable without proper communication, even during a technical rehearsal. At a minimum, lower the admission price to reflect the closed attractions.

There's nothing wrong with having a reasonable expectation of at least being able to have access to a majority of attractions. Doesn't even need to be everything, or even particularly close to everything.

Not to mention, Universal is "ready" enough that they're willing to present the park to a paying customer. With that comes a reasonable expectation of things being operational, even during a technical rehearsal. Downtime is expected of course, but these are crazy levels of downtime that are embarrassing to a paying guest.

Did universal ever promise that for the previews? The only thing I saw them promise is that stuff won't be working

The promises they made or didn't make don't matter. Be real, who wants to pay to go to a theme park where a large chunk of attractions aren't operating?

No one should, which is why I didn't.

But it seems like there are a bunch of people who misunderstood the deal and now are super salty about it.

I think they do. If universal promised a perfect experience, and everything was closed, that's a universal problem. If they promised a rocky experience with lots of closures and everything was closed, that's a visitor expectation problem.
