Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

[Mad Dog]

Does anyone know why there appears to be a change in the EPA policy at Epic Universe? I thought of the entire month of February they were changing the policy to include select attractions from WWOHP, Berk, and SNW?

I saw someone posted on the Epic FB page this morning that the open EP attractions today did not match what was being advertised as open. They were upset and confused. Heck, sounding like this might be more a day to day thing than etched in stone.

Disney invests massive capital every year into not only the maintenance itself but building a bench of qualified technicians who will have had years of training and experience before even being able to work on complex systems and attractions.

I’ll believe this when they fix that dang Yeti

That has to be very frustrating. Especially since I'll be bringing a large school group down and we will be staying offsite and I would like to be able to inform my students of where they should go when we get there. If Ministry isn't part of EPA but opens up at 9am like it has been in the past, that's obviously the best place for off site visitors to go.

Yes. I should have written it down, but I forget the specifics now. But as I was reading his comment from the morning, the open stuff was completely different than that schedule someone posted here the other day.

Lol right! They do gotta fix Animal Kingdoms capacity issues before they can close Everest for 6 months to fix that damn thing.

Last time I did Early Park Entry for resort guests the listed attractions were Stardust Racers, MarioKart, Donkey Kong, and the carousel. Stardust didn’t open until after 1, Donkey Kong was down the entire day, MarioKart had a 135 min wait and the Carousel was open then went down.

So once the park officially opened for the day Curse of the Werewolf and Hiccups were down and also opened over an hour after regular park opening, Dragon Rally Racers was only operating one side the other was broke, which left Fyre Drill, Monsters, Potter and Yoshi as the only other rides to open at park open with MarioKart. On top of that we were kicked out of the Le Circque show in Potter at the bubble lady scene due to technical difficulties and the Untrainable Dragon has 4 shows cancelled due to technical issues.

We left at about 630? 7pm?? And over the course of the day did Monsters twice, MarioKart, Yoshi and about the first 6 mins of the Potter Show. Pizza Moon was the highlight of the day for my wife.
