Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

[dxwwf3]

I'm definitely curious to see how EPA goes. Ideally it would be a great time to knock out Mario Kart and DK, but with everyone in the park in SNW.. I'm not sure how it will go lol

Since I will have been to SNW at USJ for 3 separate visits before stepping foot in Epic Universe, I'm definitely going to be hitting up Stardust Racers for EPA most of the time. I think for most people, hitting SNW later in the day will be the best bet.

Would like to hear your thoughts/comparison between Japan's and Epic's when you get into Epic.

Those that have been in the park? How many days would you think is good? Im looking at 3 days at epic, is that overkill? Considering no express being available for awhile.

3 days is perfect honestly. Crowds are going to be bad but you could do everything by then. If you somehow get lucky and do everything in 2 days just do the third day to just hang out in the park and take it all in. It's a beautiful park

Plus 3 days gives you a chance to try all the restaurants without repeats.

Jokes on you, I can do that in a single day! I'll only get water at each restaurant, but I can do it!

With Express Passes now available, does anyone know if you miss good parts of any of the queues by using EP?

The big thing that I don't want to miss is the Monsters Unchained que. It sounds like to me the que is really part of the attraction.

I can't remember where I read it, but I believe that the Express line merges before the pre-shows, whereas the Single Rider line misses the pre-shows and takes you straight to boarding. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's what was said.

No mention of ministry of magic. Which means the ride isn’t gonna be open for opening day

Doesn't mean that at all. Hagrid's does not have Express Pass, and its been open since 2019.

Definitely not what it means.

It's a capacity issue. There's a reason why Dragon Rally Racers is included. Would be horrible for standby since it's capacity is already so low.

 

[TaylorMade]

I do think its a pretty big sign that Ministry will be running at reduced capacity, but we kind of already knew that.

A reminder that every Potter ride opened without Express.

Some of you knew that already, though...

Yes, this isn't unprecedented. I had hoped that Ministry would be included in express as it isn't one new ride in an existing park, but one of the many new rides in a brand new park - but this does follow the Potter express trend, so I don't think we can make any assumptions re ride availability or capacity based on this alone.

Monsters may be the only queue that Express skips some cool bits. I believe (but could be wrong) that Express will catch most of the best bits of Ministry.

Worst case scenario, ride Monsters and Ministry a second time without Express that same day... after all, Express is single use only!

Do we know if express misses the pre shows for Monsters?
