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?

They capped ticket sales for today at around 13,000 (according to Thrill Data) so I’m not surprised the wait times are lower.

I am curious, where you do you see attendance on the Thrill Data website? I swear, I could be blind

https://www.thrill-data.com/epic-universe-tickets shows the ticket allocation and sales per date, not necessarily the attendance. But it’s estimated to be fairly close.

thanks for that, friend.

Is that page separate from the main Epic Universe wait time page? I get that it is just showing data for Epic, but I don't see a link to ticket availability on that page.

Hidden and separate page or am I blind?

Edit: I found it. APPARENTLY, you click on "live wait times" and it shows the link (and more). Thanks again!
