Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

Hearing rumors that Ministry's movements were toned down to attempt to alleviate some of the downtime. Can anyone confirm? I hope not, I was already disappointed that it didn't have any moment that felt like a true drop like Tower of Terror or RotR.

Unfortunately we only had like a single combined day of uptime since those rumors came out. I’ll hopefully be able to get on tomorrow

So sad there won't be a nightly firework show.

Is this confirmed anywhere? If so that's a shame...

A day at the park(s) isn't complete without fireworks to bookend the night, imo

Nothing's really confirmed either way......
But we can guess since no CP Entertainment, not even Cosmos Fountains is on the App.

It would be super cool if they did these at rope drop every morning. Seems like a one off though?

It really doesn't seem like it would be super hard to do this everyday... I hope someone considers it

If only they had a screen at the end of the portal that opened like a camera shutter for when the lands open and close for the day.

I remember seeing TWDC/WDI polos and at least one TWDC ID on a retractable waist clip at the preview center right after it opened.

Saw more of what? Plenty of people who worked on this park have or are right now working at or with Walt Disney Imagineering.

Tony Baxter had nothing to do with Epic.

It has happened in the past. If I remember correctly, a bunch of WDI showed up at IoA when it opened as well.

I think anyone in that industry is going to enjoy seeing what their friends and peers put together.
