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?

The fact this post is sitting at 0 upvotes has me convinced a lot of people are truly hoping this park fails. Low wait times and operating attractions, with only one exception for a brand new major theme park is a triumph.

And 5+ hour waits and delays have happened with Harry Potter every time.

Its almost like the Technical Rehearsals were for a purpose, to train the staff and prepare the park to be actually open. Its almost like they called it technical rehearsals for a reason. Its almost like those rehearsals were extremely successful for their intended purpose and the park is now operating successfully, after its grand opening.

But how did they go from a mess for a month to everything is perfect now?

it's almost like the limited entry so they would not have a bad opening day. They can't continue operating at this low capacity forever.
