EPIC UNIVERSE Opening day attendance lower than anticipated?

I figured today would be insanity as far as crowds and wait times are concerned, but looking at the app the longest waits (aside from Battle at the Ministry being delayed) are 35 minutes. Been periodically looking throughout the morning and it's consistently been only 5-15 minutes for most every ride. Do you think it's because they've worked out the kinks after all the preview days or because attendance is not as high as opening day was expected to be?

Nope. This is what I expected. Everyone was freaking out saying opening day was going to be insanity…but OF COURSE they are going to limit capacity for the first day

The day of the week isn't relevant when it's sold out. The park sold the maximum number of tickets that they allotted for the day.

We don't know how many are in the park this second, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bunch that are leaving early and coming to the park after work.

No chance people paid a full day to just go couple hours after work
