Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

[fryoj]

Got to remember. The truth today may be completely false tomorrow. It also can be hard to discern between truth and an exaggeration. Things are surely moving fast. If it's a software/sensor issue, they could hit an 'AHA' moment and everything come together tomorrow. They could also think they are close, but bigger problems are being masked by other issues. Still a long way to go.

o hear team member previews Will not include ministry of magic even some tms have been told don’t expect it to open for another 3 to 4 months after opening

May time have mercy on your posts, sir.

 

[KbTurtle]

Ball park of when previews for APs will be?

 

[Alicia]

It’s weird seeing rumors from a year ago, or longer, come back again.

I’ve heard “ministry ride not opening till October, so the whole park is delayed till fall” but then the opening date was announced for may

I’ve heard “rights holders won’t allow potter land to open without ride so park will debut without potter to start” but they announced that land will open with park

I’ve heard virtual line will be used for all main rides and they aren’t even building standby queues for the big rides and they ended up building the longest queues at the resort

And yes I have heard that Ministry is having issues but I have also heard they’re throwing every resource they have at it, so even if people on the ground may be pessimistic about it and tell all their friends “there’s no way this ride will open till several months after the park,” you’d be surprised what universal can pull off with *money*

Here’s hoping they pull it off.

2, two lucky families will be selected.

But only one family walks out

A lot can happen over the next few weeks. Don't count on anything being set in stone one way or the other aside from the park opening on May 22nd.

 

[Mad Dog]

I'll never underestimate Universal's final push after walking past the mud pit that the entire outside Sapphire Falls and their uncompleted pool was a couple of weeks before their grand opening. They got it together in what is one of their most beautiful resorts. Sure, they had some registration problems the first day or two, but that was more just newness stuff.

I've been told by a fellow UOTM that the family and friend EU previews are only 3 hours and will be in one of the lands (the TM gets to choose what land when they make the reservation)

False. Tm previews are gonna be 10a-4p apparently full park

No? I was talking specifically about the TM Friends and Family previews. Not the ones next week. I literally just got told this by a TM

That does not appear to be correct.

Pot calling the kettle black.

Pot calling the kettle black.

Really dude? You don't want to go there. You of all people shouldn't be talking.

Edit: just to add, I was told this in passing and wasn't trying to act like I'm an insider. My friend got lied to as a joke. No need for the snarky attitude

 

[Brian G.]

Ok ok. Let’s move on.

 

[saint.piss]

Seems like Media invites are now being sent.

Potter will be closed for a year to be rebuild after that. During opening day every ride breaks down. All food offerings are amazing.
Sure there are multiple outcomes where things can go very wrong or go of without a hitch. Lets wait and see, relax and enjoy the little pieces of information and details we can see or Universal is presenting us with.

This is the park’s flagship attraction.

Very debatable statement. I’ve seen more SNW hype that Potter personally. I’d call Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge more of a flagship attraction.

I’d call Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge more of a flagship attraction.

It’s possibly the worst e-ticket in the park
