Ministry didn't even open until 3PM yesterday and I've heard reports that is not uncommon recently. If that pattern is true, it's only available ~6 hours per day and combined with the reduced capacity, not very many are able to ride on any given day. I finally rode it for the first time yesterday on my 3rd visit to the park during various previews.
Sorry you're the guinea pig (at least to me) to see how the rainy day works
.Mine Cart Madness has a dedicated Express lane between single rider and the regular queue.
The Mine Cart Express lane is built for the future (smart design), but not currently, or for the foreseeable future, in use. I can however dream of a day when expansion adds Luigi’s Mansion, and a Zelda attraction in the land that allows Mine Cart lines to be reasonable enough to use the Express lane. A guy can dream right???
The express lane had quite a few people coming through when I was there a couple weeks ago. Not sure what it was being used for, if not express pass.
I surrender.

When they empty the queue because of a extended closure, people are given a ticket for a one-time Express Pass. Also, if Battle at the Ministry goes down, it converts your VQ to a one time Express Pass that can be used on Mine Cart Madness, I think too.
Interesting. It was right after opening and I saw at least 20 individuals move through the express line. Lots of paper passes!
Multi-day recover Express Passes have been a thing at Universal Orlando for at least several years now. A nice practice that goes under-recognized.
Who cares. Do ever have anything nice to say about Epic.
. There is a lot of it that I loved. I didn’t get to do as much as I would have liked to but I can see the possibilities. I think if Disney did another land they could do better, but with Iger in place they would do a lot worse. Good job though Universal, if they work out the kinks it will knock Disney down a couple or three.Interesting, thanks for the update! We’ll be there June 13th, so we lose an hour with just 10am-9pm, but again wishful thinking has me hoping they expect lower crowds those days (most kids still in school). On the positive side, we don’t have to get up as early for early entry, which I like a lot. It also appears they’re listening to the public about having the park open more at night!
That looks better....
That's definitely something which needs management attention. This is a top tier theme park destination, not some random nobody's internet blog.
I would really like to see the behind the scenes on how these signs are created. They MUST be created on a computer, whatever system creates this, there is no spell check??
