Rope Drop Tactics

[Skold]

Nice when nothings broke down. Was it your four leaf clover, lucky charm or just bum luck?

DKMM and stardust were delayed multiple times later, which led to us skipping BATM because of that line. Hopefully we can make up for Sunday

Epic gives....and Epic takes away. A continuing epic journey.

Second and last Epic rope drop this morning.

• Same rides are open: everything except Dark Universe and the Carousell
• Different opening routine though
• Got in line at 7:45 for 9:00 EPA
• 8 min walk from Stella, second in line
• Green gates open at 8:15, walked up to security gates, those go at 8:30, park opens at 8:50
• Doing BatM this time, and the plan is Hiccups, MK, and maybe DKMM
• BatM opening was weird. They led the mass of people around the entire land first. This worked, we were in a single file by the time we got to the ride!
• Ops were great, out at 9:22
• Hiccup is delayed!
• Called an audible to go all the way across to MK. Out by 9:40.
• Hiccup is up, out at 10:01
• Burning Blade for a drink. Love this place if I can get a table
• Curse, out in 20
• Monsters
• Lunch at my favorite restaurant, Das Stakehouse
• Hanging at the Stella Nova pool, drinking Jonathan Silverhands

B+ for today

It is clear now that it is difficult if not impossible to do BatM and DKMM without a long wait for at least one of them. We’ll try tonight though!

Looking at yesterday's and todays ride times, park looks low capacity attendance. Nice weekend to visit Epic. .........Second Epic day of our November trip, we got lucky. Both Ministry and DKMM short lines Sunday after 6:00 PM. First day though, only Ministry was short. That was pure luck though since DK is long lines 90% of the time, day and night.

Does anyone have any idea what is open in the park to non-EPA guests during that hour? Are we blocked off from going into the park and can only stay inside the front part of Celestial Park or are they checking room keys at the portals, which means we should be able to walk around anywhere in Celestial Park, except ride Stardust Racers?
