Epic Universe Ride Breakdowns/Delays

[AB2020]

For those who don't have Twitter or can't see it:

• Ygor down.
• Hunchback down.
• Phantom down.
• Finale Drac down.

At what point do we acknowledge that the final Dracula will never fully work again? Seems like there is something major wrong with it that cannot just be fixed overnight.

Also to add, on Friday the second pre-show wasn't working after some down time in the morning.

I wouldn't make that assumption. It may simply be that other areas of the attraction are taking maintenance priority at the moment, especially ones that do not have a "B-Mode".

When's the last time the Finale Drac worked properly? Only saw it during previews.

I'd imagine it's a timing issue between RVs as the figure appears to work.

The finale Drac seemed to be working fine back in the 2nd week of September when I visited.

It worked 5 of the 6 rides we did back in November.

Just read a post by guest complaining on the Universal Epic FB group. He said he waited in line for Ministry 5 hours earlier today.
Said it ruined his entire day. I see so many posts like that. Why someone stays in line that long, I'll never understand.

The sunk cost fallacy is strong. Also, I can imagine what it must feel like if the Ministry is at the tippity top of your Must Do list and this is your only chance to get on it.

But yeah, no way. My days of waiting in lines more than two hours are in the rear view mirror.

The issue with Ministry is that it goes down often. For example, the queue will move (slowly) and then stop for a good 20-30 mins. After that, it'll pick up again for 20 minutes before an inevitable additional 20-30 min stop. It's unfortunate.


In addition to the reduced number of vehicle operating, faulty ride stops just make things more annoying.
