Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

[agentj]

So the park hours updated for the first week of June... Epic Universe closes at 7PM June 3rd to June 8th.

Hoping this isn't the case... but yeesh

Epic is such a different Park at night, really not to be missed. I understand summers will be difficult and costly to stay open later, but I would
personally visit with some nights being available. It just adds so much to the visit.

Now betting that tickets will be easy to get after that first week.

If this is true...

Edit: To add, I checked across all available hours for the entire resort in June, and they corrected a few dates that were showing obviously incorrect operating hours so USF/IOA appear correct now.

Yes, I saw that on Universals official site. ....with IOA and USF being open late on some of those nights.....Very interesting.......We might be surprised. IOA & USF just might out perform Epic instead of the other way around. Predicting a way more easy way to purchase Epic tickets.....and maybe Universal adding Epic option to AP's earlier than we expected. Universal has lots of AP's and without the add option on the AP, most will probably continue doing IOA and USF instead of Epic once the newness, and their first couple trips to Epic, wears off. I don't think many AP's will continue paying $150 to $190 to go to Epic after they've been there a couple of times.

Park hours now shows epic being open until 10pm during opening week and 9pm throughout June, with a couple 10pm closings

LOL I love this fandom.

Great to see!

I was hoping I was wrong. Not sure why you think I intentionally want to complain about Epic. We're less than a month out from the first week of June, so of course I'll take their word on what they put out online.

Edit: Looks like they adjusted hours for May, summary incoming

Actually, thought you were pretty rational with your posts. It was more of a general statement about the fandom.

 

[Mad Dog]

Yes, adjusted for later hours but changed opening to 10:00 AM from 9:00 AM. and no EPA....so same number of hours....Betting it changes again.

 

[UniversalRBLX]

Yes, adjusted for later hours but changed opening to 10:00 AM from 9:00 AM.

I don't even think these are final hours yet, it's showing EPA on opening day but none in June. So seems like they just finalized it and are working on publishing to the site.

 

[DarkMetroid567]

10pm close, incredible.

There is something funny in that if you’re seeing something on Universal’s app for the first time, you 100% should not believe it.

I would ABSOLUTELY welcome a later opening for a later close.

You're telling me I can sleep in until 8 AM and still be there for rope drop? I'm in

Oh, I agree, as a tourist. This schedule has already changed at least three times this morning, so who really knows. Some weeks they're showing a 9:00 opening and others a 10:00 opening. I don't know how much it matters, but a 10:00 AM opening might make it easier on their bus transportation since they'll be moving people from all of their hotels to Epic, plus the previous bus usage to USF and IOA. Anyway interesting. And it gives us something to talk about. The last week it's gotten a bit boring , discussion wise....except for the Potter not working well VQ stuff.

The bus theory could definitely make sense!

(Come on Universal, give me 11AM to 11PM you cowards)

Funny thing. Our local park Kennywood doesn't open until 11:00 usually and sometimes stays open to 10:00 or later on select nights. And Fall Saturdays are Noon to 11:00 PM. @TheCodeMan95 ...Gotta Love those hours.

Hersheypark (my local park) typically doesn't open until 10AM!

 

[Imperius]

Quite possible when you see the size of the lands versus demand. It's just like when Hogsmeade opened-- there will be some days where it's needed (especially Nintendo).

Yeah not sure why people would get upset about this. They have done it before because it’s needed. It’s going to likely be very very busy and you can’t just shove 10k people in one land when they can’t fit.

 

[Dragontrainer2]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it but they added a bunch of tickets for pass holders for the may dates that were previously sold out after the park officially opens.

I got excited and thought maybe some general admission tickets opened up as well. My wife isn’t a passholder anymore, so we need one general admission ticket for her on Saturday the 24th. Passholder tickets are open for that day, but not general admission.

They opened a few general admission tickets for may also but none on the first few days that the park is open
