The journey of attempting every ride in both main parks in one day for Epic's opening was (mostly) successful! Got everything at IoA (except for Hulk which was closed today), and everything at USF except HRRR, Kang's, E.T. and Trolls. What I documented for which attractions need some help:
USF:
- Minion Mayhem - First time riding it since 2022, and I'm surprised not many are talking about this, but it's rough. It's honestly almost as bad as Simpsons now. Screen is also looking a bit blurry now.
- Race Through New York - Simulator on the right theater could use a fresh coat of paint.
- Revenge of the Mummy - Imhotep was in B-mode today, but besides that everything was looking good.
- Escape from Gringott's - Screen door before second launch not working, and the cart we were in had ringing in the audio, but it was actually taken off the track after we reported it to the TMs, so getting fixed.
- Simpsons - Please put this thing down already.
IoA:
- Spider-Man - Everything working perfectly, except the doors after Doc Ock's heat are still stuck open.
- Popeye's - The sign flip at the beginning needs to be fixed, currently reads as Hurricane River to the right with Bluto switching it to Paradise Island, when it's meant to be the other way.
- Ripsaw Falls - Actually looking very solid! First time seeing EVERY animatronic work in a very long time, all of whom look like they've gotten a pretty recent coat of paint.
- River Adventure - This thing is really falling apart. Most of the animatronics don't even move anymore, and some are missing.
- Forbidden Journey - Besides the dragon's fire breath still not working, everything else is good now! The dementor sequence's broken effects and animatronics from the past few weeks were all back up today.
- Hagrid's - The creature in Hagrid's hut wasn't working, but that's it.
- Seuss Trolley - Only running one side despite the pretty decent crowds today.
- Cat in the Hat - Audio really needs help, but besides that, actually looking pretty solid.
