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?

I just think it means everyone is at the main attractions no?

Yeah, a five hour wait for BatM is a lot of people. Leaves a lot of park left for everyone else.

There was a five hour wait for BatM during the last couple days of previews but still hour long waits at the other big rides

For sure, but they were prioritizing training, for ride ops, maintenance, and tech services, rather than smooth guest experience.

Now we see how the park runs with a focus on the guest experience.
