Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

[GA-MBIT]

Being around Funky's shop without hearing Funky's Fugue, or not having the DK Rap represented anywhere in this subland would be a massive shame. So yeah, I agree with everyone here, the hope would be Wise, Kirkhope, and the Returns team all collaborating on the score in different ways.

We don’t know for sure, (and I assume the ones for sale at the park if there any may be smaller plastic cheaper versions so they don’t cost hundreds of dollars,) but Universal did trademark the term Chronos for use at toys and collectibles, which is a good sign.

This is just a guess for wait times based on potential popularity and capacity.

How does the nighttime show have a 45 minute wait time?

Not just a wait time but the experience itself.

Say it's a 20min show. You'll probably want to arrive early to get a good spot. Could take you up to 10mins to walk there from wherever you are in the park. You might want to get a drink and snacks before hand, that could add 10mins easily. I was going to put 30 mins but that didn't seem enough.

OOOHHHH so it's not wait times but experience times. Sort of a lego build a day thing. Got it, didn't have my coffee yet.

Accepting the parameters (only 12 hours/one day, these fixed wait times):

Mine Cart Madness (2)
Yoshi’s Adventure (1)
Ministry (2)
Le Cirque (.75)
Monsters Unchained (2)
Burning Blade (.5)
Untrainable (.75)
Blue Dragon (1)
Nighttime Show (.75)
Shopping/Walking Around (1.25)
- Total (12)

If I had only one day, I would not wait approximately two hours for Mario Kart, 90 minutes for the Dragons coaster, or one hour for werewolf. With two days, especially the first time, I would wait for those latter two.

I would never wait 120ish minutes for Mario Kart under any circumstances, though (having already been on it in Hollywood).

Yup!

I realize that it will likely be years before I touch Epic’s version of Mario Kart. And maybe Dragon Racers Rally, since I have never liked the Mack Interactive Boat Ride model.

I don't anticipate ever doing either of the other two smaller Dragons attractions. I can tolerate getting wet on a D/E-ticket ride where it's just one element of a much larger ride experience; the Dragons boat ride seems like it's just the getting wet part.

I'll definitely do Mario Kart again (I'll be traveling with people who haven't already been on it), but either at a much shorter wait or using single rider (assuming Epic's will have single rider like Hollywood does).

Constellation Carousel (1)

Donkey Kong: Mine-cart Madness (2)
Toadstool Cafe (.75)
Battle of the Ministry (2)
Monsters Unchained (2)
Burning Blade (.5)
Hiccup's (1.5)
MH (.75)
That'll give me 11.5, with time to go shopping.

This take is amateur hour.

There is no accounting for rope-dropping the big names first, or hitting big attractions after the late-rope-droppers surge. We need a Josh Humphries (RIP) for Epic.

I think its more of "how many hours would you spend in each land?"

I was answering the question as-asked!

My actual two-day touring plan will be very different.

If you happen to be going before May 30, I'd be very interested in hearing your plan and how it went.

@belloq87 you are one of the people on these forums that I'd like to construct an Epic touring plan with. You know your poop.

 

[belloq87]

I am definitely not going before May 30th!

My intent would be early November of '25, but that's entirely dependent on how and when Universal rolls out additional ticket options.

And in true theme park fashion, each medallion will be sold separately!

I don't know it for a fact, I just know it's true.

Same here. Sounds like a sweet spot before the Holiday crowds and after HHN. The only bad few days is the weekend of Veterans Day.

sorry that graphic doesn't include "CelesTiki, 120 minutes" so I can't in good faith participate
