My guess would be Monsters next with Potter reserved for the grand finale.

Probably May-August sometime in that range. If I had to pick an exact date, June 1st 2025.

Ooh close to my guess! I’m going to go for May 19th, so it’s open for memorial weekend!

Just a guess. I think it'll open in Spring before Easter, and a Wednesday makes sense for less potential opening day crowds (looks better for PR). Soft openings for passholders would take place during spring break as well, taking some pressure off the main resort during one of the busiest times of the year.

May or June seems like a good possibility as them gives them enough time to make sure everything is up and running and also just before the summer season starts kicking into gear.
Chances are all of the rides (except maybe Potter) are up and running, as we've seen testing for every outdoor ride for months now already. I don't think we have to worry about them rushing this. I'd be surprised if this wasn't at least soft opened by Easter.

Basically I like to travel in May before Memorial weekend and wondering if I'm crazy to hope for Epic being open by then
I missed Dreamworks land by a fortnight this May!

And I’d love to hear your thoughts on both, as you’re correct, they certainly mean different things!

My bet: soft opening Sept. 1, grand opening October 1. I think they stopped saying “summer” because they’re not going to be ready for it.

Am I worried that the Epic Universe Preview Center might not have as many physical sets like the IOA one? Given the size of the building that previously housed the Legacy Store, it seems like the PC might be filled with screens with some physical sets. That aside, I hope it will be the characters from the IP showing up and explaining what their areas offer.
I would like to believe the EU opens in May 2025, seeing that the last USO park opened in May 1999 as well. All the rides are up and running properly.
Look at current construction, I think 1 year is optimistic for done and ready for full open. There's a lot to get done. Not saying they can't throw everything at it to get it done earlier, but that's not a normal schedule. I think early summer softs is fairly safe. Whether thats, partial opening, AP previews, or open, but not grand open yet is a question on how quick they get everything done. As for Grand opening, it could be late summer, but I could also see post labor day to boost the slower time period.
I think a lot of video screens crowded by lots of t-shirt racks.

I don’t think Universal even knows when it’s opening currently. I’m sure they have/had a target date in mind, but things change. And it feels like things are still not in focus at this time.

See I agree they stopped saying Summer because it ain’t going to be Summer…..because it’s going to be early!
