Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

I didn’t see it posted yet, but here is a look at the current nighttime show. Fireworks could easily be added to this show in the future.

Has the moment happened yet where the fire arrow is shot, or something? Passing of the sun to the moon?

Lines even shorter today than yesterday with apx. 17,000 guests. Evidently, not everyone is in the Ministry queue since the stand by line's only been around 30 minutes in late afternoon. Interesting conversation on capacity. We've heard 30,000 to 34,000 bandied about last week. Now Theme Park Insider owner Robert Niles is saying he's hearing apx. 45,000-50,000 Epic capacity bandied about. Though that figure seems kind of high for a park, that like most new parks, is a tad short on attractions. I wonder what figure is closer to the truth. ....Bottom line though, this is a very easy and comfortable opening for guests.

Today has seemed to be a bit rougher. Werewolf has gone down at least twice that I know of. Monsters went down when I was in line. Tried to go on Mario Kart and it was down. But maybe I’ve just been unlucky and happened to be at or near the rides when they went down.

Edit: Forgot to ask a question and didn’t want to double post. For those that have been, does Werewolf or Mine Cart add to any ambience at night? Or are they pretty much the same with a few more lights?

Mine Cart is a lot of fun at night, would recommend. Werewolf I believe has some lights throughout the area but now I can’t recall. The entrance to the queue is done up much better at night though. You see Wolfie a little better as well with eyes needing no adjusting from daylight

Really really hope that this lowered capacity is still a thing when I go on June 2 and 3. It'd be absolute heaven

Reddit is kind of the scum site of the internet. No need to pay attention to it.

Meh…it’s a typical social media platform just like any other.

Now 4chan that was piece of trash website because the pure scum of the earth that inhabited it.

I would think they will open the flood gates soon enough.

Reddit in shambles. They were all fully onboard on nothing working and it being a crap show.

Why?

Reddit is FAR from what I would consider "the scum site." Which just says a lot about the internet lol.

Is @bioreconstruct an employee? How would they have access to take photos before other employees?

Ticket availability data on thrill-data says otherwise. It seems like they might actually be planning on keeping it low until at least mid-June.

Not yet. Here that may not happen.

Ugh. I hope not.

As in, he took an aerial photo on an early TM preview day where photos weren’t allowed?

Okay that looks neat. Just no flame effect yet.
