Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

[GA-MBIT]

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

They aren't mutually exclusive. It's hard to argue that Mario Kart isn't one of, if not the biggest draw to the park at open. Quality or no, it's the main Mario ride regardless.

It's kind of a silly, in-the-weeds thing to argue about generally, but if we're already in the brush then IMO Mario Kart and Battle are co-headliners for the park. DK, Monsters, Dragons are all gonna be really solid, but it's those two that I think will be selling most of the tickets.

Do we know the park hours for opening day yet?

I've ridden Mario Kart enough times in Hollywood to know... I will not be wasting my time with that ride in Epic Universe.

There’s still so much that they have not announced yet. We are still waiting on sales of single day tickets, express pass, and VIP tours. Also, like you said, we’re still waiting on Park hours and the firework show. Oh yeah, food reservations as well. So still A TON more news coming soon.

Based on Universal's history, 9PM to 7PM (or 6PM if they have a private event scheduled for the night)

I share this sentiment

And we know nothing about how they're handling the soft opens/passholder previews. Only that they're going to happen.

Something tells me Epic will be open late like MK. Why would they spend all that money on lightning packages to close early?

I'm partially messing around, but Universal really doesn't push park openings past 9PM except for holidays.

IOA is a gorgeous park at night with a tremendous lighting package (plus nighttime show at Hogwarts with new projectors) and they love to close the park at 7PM.

I really hope Universal proves me wrong and sees Epic as their MK with more consistent 9 and 10PM closings.

Current TM previews are only scheduled until 4:00, but I assume that’s so the only have one shift of TMs to schedule, as well as to allow more time for work to get done.
