Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

[saint.piss]

Apparently epic universe might open without ministry of magic. Cause apparently they have only been able to cycle 2 ride vehicles so they may just have the live show for opening day

I don't see that happening lol. There's no way they would do that

Well it's February, so they have time. But I bet any previews will most likely not feature the ride if your info is true.

Have they tried unplugging it and plugging it back in?

 

[GAcoaster]

And this is why there will be three months of testing/soft openings-- just like with all the other Potter additions it will be a race to get it working right by opening day, but they will.

 

[UNIrd]

Weren't initial Potter previews without the ride too? I want to say when Hogsmeade was opening, media was getting castle tours and that's it.

 

[Ryuniversal]

Is like rise where they needed extra time or what also is it weird that we have very little about how the indoor dark universe ride is doing

Well I guess you might be right about the ride vehicles then. But I don't think that means it won't be open during the grand opening/soft opens.

That post is mostly true. The Epic TM mock services has started. HTTYD:IoB is pretty much good to go attraction wise, although I have heard nothing about the theater show. SNW is also good to go, even DK is testing well. Potter? It's working as designed...with some ride system issues. They'll figure it out..or not. I don't think Monsters is in Mock Services mode yet.

What I have heard as far as official TM previews is:

Starting in March,

1 week UOR TMs.
1 week UOR TMs and Third Party (Loews and CityWalk)
1 week UOR TMs, Third Party, and "Friends and Family".

Ministry ride not working when more vehicles on has been a rumored issue for a long time, as long as it’s been cycling now. Worrisome they haven’t worked it out.

I’m reminded of Villain Con, which was laggy through previews but shortly after they were able to fix it and now it runs completely fine. What may seem like a dire issue now can hopefully probably be solved, like Villain Con was probably by throwing more RAM at it or something, and then we’ll be good.

Have they tried restarting or unplugging and plugging back in the Ministry of Magic ride? I think that would help.

I assume all resources, $ and brain power, will be thrown at this ride once the other lands are in better shape/completed. I hope it’s good for opening day, we’re getting close!

Monsters is in mock service and with ridership

 

[rhino4evr]

So it is it safe to assume that the Harry Potter ride is the most technologically advanced ride at the park? That makes me a little nervous for the quality of monsters unlimited , but maybe I’m over thinking

Monsters Unchained is the same ride system as Potter, but the approach to the attraction is 100% different. I don’t suspect it will feel less advanced. Potter for sure is the only new ride system to debut here though.

 

[USO92]

If anything, Monsters is Forbidden Journey with Universal Creative having learned valuable lessons...and Forbidden Journey was/is groundbreaking. From what little I know - the credit would have to go to Potter for most technologically advanced...have we seen anything like it before? A hybrid creature of Spiderman, Tower of Terror...That's quite an amalgamation of technology

Don’t even joke.

but at least monsters works lol. ( new technology of potter might cause problems?)

 

[AvoidTIMtation]

Not being able to run multiple ride vehicles at a time sounds like.... a very major problem lol

 

[DarkMetroid567]

It’s the same issue that Rise had, right? Leading to the cannons being (seemingly) perma-killed.
