Would be nice if they would add this to Helios bookings, even if it was just the one-off Express Pass, just for Epic (not USF/IOA) (obviously, there isn't an Unlimited Pass for Epic at the moment).

Wait a Minute. Isn't Mine Cart Madness supposed to be a high letter attraction? Wonder why Express isn't included?

Capacity is doo-doo

At the time it wasn’t anything. Today it’s Epic Universe.

Yup. Capacity on this and the Dragon Racer's Rally is not great. Understandable to avoid having standby lines come to a stop. (I do question express pricing on it though)
For Ministry lacking express, all of the Potter attractions have debuted with no Express. I don't think it's a contractual concern, more that they've all had issues at the start capacity-wise. Cirque Arcanus has Express, so they're worried about Ministry's throughput.

I also understand the queue is pretty brutal for this attraction.
Edit: Oops, got confused with Hiccups.

No Shade?

You know, I think I got confused with Hiccups. Hiccups has a ton of outdoor switchbacks with little to no shade.
The queue for DRR is a bunch of outdoor switchbacks with translucent netting providing some shade.

Only if needed, depending on future demand, increases in capacity, and any planned expansion for that area.

I'm really impressed how weeks of previews have passed and still no leaks of any sort especially with POVs. This definitely won't work with Disney especially with their leniency with filming. I remember stuff would always leak during CM previews of Cosmic Rewind, ROTR, Smuggler's Run, and even way back in 2017 with FOP/Navi River. Of course it would get taken down eventually.

Speak of the devil...
Some leaks came out today of Monsters Unchained, Ministry queue, Celestial Park, and SNW.

Look up a guy named “RealtorMateo” on YouTube.
Monsters looks incredible. Celestial Park looks…. kinda bad? At least the shots in the video do.
He only offers a brief glimpse of Celestial Park, and it basically looks how we knew it would look, although it's odd that the dragon for the Asian restaurant still looks unfinished.
The Potter queue looks nice and detailed.
Partially regret seeing the Monsters spoilers, but at least they were relatively brief and the ride looks good.

Agreed on everything.
There’s at least a LOT more to see in Celestial, but the two shots from the video aren’t just disappointing, I actively disliked them lol

I actually like Celestial Park, but it does need about 300% more trees. The whole park does, really. It doesn't seem like they will be able to plant enough in the remaining time. Epcot's new hub, while less interesting overall, did manage to feel like a matured garden at its debut and I wish that was the case here.

There are already leaks of Monsters Unchained but just clips and not the whole ride. You can see a couple of the AA and its pretty well done.
