At this moment something like 9 of the last 10 Google reviews for Epic are one star, with lots of complaints about rides having severe downtime. Not sure if anyone can vouch for that. To Universal’s credit they do have some social media person responding to the negative reviews.

Much as I'd love to dive into all the arguing... I haven't been and won't discuss until I have.

BUT, I have a question for those more in the know. Early Park Admission. Just for hotel guests or do those of us with the higher end APs get access early? It looks on their website like APs don't get Early Admission at Epic, but since the general Early Admission page hasn't been updated since Epic opened, I'm just not sure if it just isn't showing on the AP Early Admission page...

Anyone actually know? Or just anyone want to speculate?

The last 10 google reviews are:
2 stars (5 hours ago), 5 stars (8 hours ago), 5 stars (8 hours ago), 5 stars (9 hours ago), 5 stars (13 hours ago), 5 stars (15 hours ago), 5 stars (16 hours ago), 2 stars (16 hours ago), 3 stars (17 hours ago), 5 stars (17 hours ago).

Are you sorting by lowest rated instead of new? 24 out of the 306 reviews total are 1 star

If all the criticisms are only on attraction reliability of a brand new park, I'd say that's fine. The park is a hit. I've told all my friends to avoid visiting the first few months to avoid an attraction being down on their visit.

Any theories as to why you can buy tickets for this weekend?

Buncha one stars when I used the google maps app. Desktop site may be slower in catching up for some reason.

Just hotel guests get the perk for Epic.
