I remember seeing a table on here of each ride by theoretical and actual hourly capacity, but can't remember where. Does anyone know where it is? Thanks!

I think, while things are rough right now, Universal really isn't going to analyze capacity needs until all rides are working at at least 80%. Right now, everyday, there are numerous downtimes, and several rides are sometimes running at a reduced capacity. Stardust running one track, Hiccups using only 1 load platform. Ministry is still not up to what is planned. I think Universal will wait until the park is running solidly too analyze capacity needs. Until then they will address other complaints like shade

I'll probably get around to posting the panel at some point. It was more or less a marketing presentation, but there were a few things I didn't know.

Another thing is that food and beverage said there's a mac and cheese cone with turkey coming for Fall and apparently that was a big deal to people.

Sunset throughout September is between 7:15 and 8, if they keep on doing that unadvertised extra hour we'll get a decent 90-120 minutes of real darkness for the whole month. I can stomach that. If they keep these hours up, early December with the low(er) crowds, cool(er) weather, and earlier sunsets will probably be the best time to go.

Yes, this makes me very excited. I had kinda resigned myself to not being able to see the park at night, but there's hope!

Waits look great tonight. I wonder if Sunday is a slow day at Epic or people just get exhausted in the heat and tap out by evening?

Yes, I noticed that a bit earlier also....and my thoughts also. Sunday's almost always a drastically different day than the always crowded
Saturdays at the Universal parks. Sunday mornings also start slow at both Universal & WDW. I'm definitely going to check Monday night to see if something is trending. Monday's generally a busy day at both park systems since it's usually the first full day of tourist vacations.

Even with attractions operating at 80-100%, the park is begging for a major capacity addition. I can understand the hesitancy around deciding which portal to expand on first, but they know the park needs an additional high-capacity indoor dark ride.

I don't think Epic Universe needs a new portal anytime soon, but Ministry & Dark Universe could use them to alleviate downtime.

Sunday's have become a decent park day for locals recently. Noticed they've been quieter compared to other days.

Interesting....Took my daily look at the future Thrill Data minimum Epic tickets sold capture from Universal. The numbers are all gone. Thrill Data announced that Universal has ended outputting specific ticket quantity data....Guessing Universal doesn't want that info out there, for one reason or another . ............................... Never a good sign to hide stuff that was previously available. Although I wouldn't blame Universal if its in reaction to the misrepresenting story they received from a Disney fan blogsite on Epic attendance.
