With Epic Universal opening this month, and employee/influencer previews going on at the moment how many of you are planning to attend? Are you going opening week, or waiting until later?

[JJenkerson]

Most likely later. Was just there this past October. The new park looks so good.

I’m definitely planning to go, but probably not during opening week — I’m expecting huge crowds and crazy lines. Thinking of waiting until things settle a bit in the fall. Super excited about the Universal Monsters dark ride, though. Anyone hear how that one’s shaping up during previews?

Would love to check out the How to Train Your Dragon world, but with my current financial situation that's going to be a distant dream.

Been saving for a while. Everything looks awesome but Super Nintendo World has my name on it. The Ministry of Magic addition looks fantastic. Can't wait. I wonder if you'll get sent to Azkaban for making M.O.M. jokes?

I’d love to go and take the family the most likely scenario for me is going to be waiting until universal UK opens in 6 years time haha.

Maybe you'll luck out and get Legend of Zelda along with Donkey Kong Country. Here are some videos of Epic Universe, they may contain spoilers!









Should anyone be interested I can post more video's with tips and guides! (Also are we drooling over the merch yet, or is it just me?

Does anyone plan on braving the crowds and hot weather for next week's opening? Should anyone plan on filming the Mega movie parade please post videos of the Ecto here.

Holy sith, who would be willing to wait in line for five hours? Opening day was insane.! I'm glad I'm planning on going later! Longest I spent in line for a ride was Rise of the Resistance and that was only for an hour and fifteen minutes, part of which was due to maintenance issues.

(Five hours, you could be on a flight to someplace nice. Yikes!)

...It's the 21st century, why the f*** are we still listing times in hundreds of minutes!? Use hours, for pete's sake.

Also, a five-hour wait for a ride is insane.

I'm reminded of the Figment popcorn bucket ordeal a little while ago. I don't even think there was limited time merch involved with the ride wait. Having worked in retail I've seen people line up camping out in the frigid cold pulling all nighter's for exclusive Black Friday deals.

The nice thing about different influencers is getting different angles of the same event. Check out mark 5:55 of the holding area for Ministery of Magic. HOLY JESUS!

If you're going to eat around Epic, this is your guide. Show of hands. How many of us are willing to skip that Ice Cream just for that awesome Donkey Kong mug? I'm not sure about the mac and cheese cones though.
