I'm not sure if this has been mentioned - but park hours are released through August now. For end of August, Epic is 10AM to 8PM.

So.. looking like we will not be seeing Dark Universe at night during our trip!

Website seems to confirm

“The July 4th festivities continue at Universal Orlando's newest theme park, Universal Epic Universe.”

I'll reserve judgement until we get closer as UOR can still update later on. However, the benefit of having a 3rd theme park is that the guests who get kicked out of USF for HHN can have a place to go to. During MK's event season, Epcot and DHS get a decent "boost" of attendance later in the evening as MK clears out of day guests.

Let's hope after the first weekend or 2 of HHN they decide to extend hours!

They extended IOA on some Friday/Saturday nights a few years back, so I'm hoping they do the same for both IOA and USF. With the resort being a prime family destination, you need activities elsewhere.

But no park hoppers for Epic yet....or am I wrong ?

Has the single rider line been open lately for stardust?

The opening day medallion has miraculously showed up on the UOR Online Merchandise store. Free shipping included.

While it should have been made available on opening day, at least they're rectifying that mistake by reselling it.

I just got one, I’m shocked I was able to get one an hour or so after they dropped honestly.

Just that as far as medallions. There were opening day pins for each world though.

I dont know if I’d call “seeing how much demand these had and then selling them for a kind of ridiculous price” rectifying a mistake lol, but I’m glad people who wanted them can get them now

Yeah I got the Nintendo pin. I guess when I heard about medallions my mind went to that stuff press got to put in their chronos towers that they also got.

Trust me, I’m being very lenient on Universal botching the entire thing up. It was not a great way to start your first official opening day.

I’m happy I can get one now, but was quite disappointed in how they approached the whole thing.

They're the same price as the first launch.

Oh, I thought they were giving them out for free

crazy -- item seems to say it is a pre-sale w/ shipping around OCT, but when I try to purchase one it tells me there is insufficient inventory for me to buy 1 unit of 140K -- guess they still don't want me to have one!

The number it’s showing is the item number, not the total available.
