After looking at the map, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of restrooms. Map only shows two in celestial park.

There are a bunch of locations missing in the app at the moment. As of last night, Epic Universe has no First Aid locations lol

There are 4 large restrooms locations in Celestial Park, plus a small one in center, and some more may be in restaurants as well.

Definitely not all listed yet.

It appears that there is an option within the app now to make reservations at Epic Universe restaurants, but it is not currently functional. Atlantic and Blue Dragon will require reservations as expected, but interestingly, it doesn't appear to be required for Toadstool Cafe, at least from what we can see right now.

Toad isn't a full service resteraunt

No, but the version in Hollywood does require reservations due to high demand.

 

[TheCodeMan95]

Even Celestial Park has virtual line listed. Think about that for a minute.

I wouldn’t take anything in the app this early as permanent or final.

"Please scan your ticket and stand off to the side in the entrance bathrooms. We'll notify you when you can enter Celestial Park!"




Also maybe I missed it - is Potter not expected to be open for opening day?

While SNW and the Mario kart ride may be “old hat” to a percentage of the population , it is still going to be an enormously popular location in the parks for families. I’m thankful that the isle of berk is “across the street” to help take in those guests. These are also the first two lands in the park , so assumingely most guests will wander there first.

As far as potter ride not being open, I’ve been kind of expecting that for awhile. Hell, I’m shocked that the other attractions are apparently operating so smoothly. It’s very common for parks/rides to have growing pains opening day.

Yes the most popular and the biggest disappointment

 

[Lightningbolt]

Luckily theres 4 other lands for you then. Most people still want to experience Nintendo and regardless of any disappointment it will still be the most popular lol.

Right — Toadstool isn’t full-service but might as well be with how ridiculously long it takes with the “reservations”

And (according to one of the Park Services people from the North Campus) the restrooms are beautiful!

More important for some, nearly every set of bathrooms has a separate family bathroom!

 

[GAcoaster]

They were impressed by the size of the sinks— I guess if you know restrooms like they do, that’s a big deal!

Oh my! First Aid is definitely there.

I think the trouble with making a Mario kart ride is there are plenty of go kart tracks in cities all over the world , and for the most part people have a perception that a Mario kart ride may be more thrilling then it is as a theme park ride , mostly targeting children who can’t drive go karts . I mean the illusion of driving is there at the tomorrow lane speedway , but it’s still a really boring ride experience compared to actual you know… go karts

Fun Spot in Orlando has them too. which isn't that far from universal.

Don’t think it had to be go karts, the VR head sets and gameplay are junk and takes away from the show scenes which are top tier.

Can we make it a Donkey Kong: Mine Cart Madness Grievances thread?

To be completely fair, I have not been on the ride so I have no idea how good or terrible the ride is , but from what I’ve read I have fairly low expectations. Sometimes that’s the best way to experience a ride. I remember a lot of people hating smugglers run , and I actually had a lot of fun with it. Of course , I have only been on it one time, and I could see that repeat rides could get boring , but that goes with most rides
