Common Orlando Resort’s Epic Universe lastly opens to most people this week and, after ready years, followers definitely appear excited. In fact, which means large crowds and lengthy strains for points of interest, that are by no means enjoyable. And it seems the lengthy strains have already began. That assertion relies on a declare {that a} visitor shared on social media.
With this part of the Common park now open for visitor previews, Harry Potter and the Battle on the Ministry — which I would argue is the perfect Epic Universe attraction — is offered to take pleasure in. Nevertheless, the attraction lately shifted from a digital queue system to a standard standby line. This was all however definitely going to steer to an enormous lineup, however I’m unsure anyone was fairly anticipating a five-hour wait. X consumer @bioreconstruct shared this message on social media:
Very unfair @UniversalORL As soon as previous the Battle at Ministry signal visitors are advised to decide on left line or proper line.TM says “does not matter”.Proper line is ultimately to be Specific. On to Floo.Left line is full queue, together with the out of doors berm. An extra 40 minutes. pic.twitter.com/FVZlR7fm9fCould 17, 2025
Bioreconstruct has been masking the event of Epic Universe from the air however, on today, they had been on the bottom and waited over 5 hours in line. To make certain that the 300-minute wait time wasn’t an overestimate of the queue. In actual fact, it was a slight underestimation. Bio mentioned…
5h10 to trip this morning. From rope drop on the world’s door to append resort visitors already in queue. By all of the streets. By the complete indoor/out of doors queue of Le Cirque Arcanus. Your entire indoor/out of doors Floo queue. The complete courtroom queue, with elf.
It appears at the least the primary present of Le Cirque Arcanus was cancelled for the day, because the area was used for the overflow queue for Battle on the Ministry. Spending 5 hours in line for a single trip is fairly wild. That’s nearly half the day that Epic Universe is open proper now.
On condition that I used to be in a position to preview Epic Universe and thinks Battle on the Ministry is the perfect the park has to supply, I get why individuals are keen to attend in a line that lengthy. That does not imply I’d have the ability to do it, although
And, as many visitors identified, if that is what occurs with previews, the place one assumes the park is just not operating at full capability, then what will occur later this week when opening day truly occurs? Followers had many questions, together with…
- 5 hours? Think about full blown opening day crowds. – @ShadowDragons77
- I am scared for opening day..that is insane – @sillycatsrappin
- Is the closing time (8pm tomorrow) the time the queue strains are closed? Even with a 2hrs+ queue?Do you suppose the only rider line can also be at the least 2 hours? – @KingRCT3
- Are there loos in line? Cuz if not… this can be a downside. – @StayYoungTravel
300-minute wait instances will not be unprecedented within the theme park world. Lots of Disney World’s longest wait instances hit that time, and that is normally the case when you’ve got a brand-new trip, identical to Harry Potter and the Battle on the Ministry. Nevertheless, it’s been some time since we’ve seen an attraction hit wait durations like this as a result of many new rides have used a digital queue system, which retains the precise in-line time to a minimal.
Epic Universe was utilizing a digital queue system beforehand. Nevertheless, on account of the truth that it was solely supplied at unannounced instances, it wasn’t highly regarded. This might appear to be the choice. Having now skilled each a digital and standby queue, Epic Universe can at the least make the perfect name attainable on how one can deal with what’s going to clearly be an extremely widespread attraction.
