We should see capacity ramp up over the next few weeks. This lower crowd level was intentional.
I do worry that these lower crowd levels might require them to shut down a few of the quick service locations later in the day with no Annual Pass base to boost attendance in the evening. Selfishly, I hope that happens to convince them to release AP tickets.

it’s good that they have taken steps to avoid a situation where the entire park is like trying to ride Hagrid’s opening year. I just don’t want it to get to the point where stuff is cut before they truly know if they need it.

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.

I would look to Halloween Horror Nights, Food & Wine, MNSSHP time for people to be making trips to FL.

Judging by wait times, the crowds hit today.
Yep. Highest day so far and tickets are still limited.

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

Speaking to 5/31, they initially released 600 single day tickets about a month ago and then soon after released 3000 more. And that day has been available ever since. These dates were not originally available when they first released single day tickets months ago.
Yes today was the first big Jump.
Again, for those that considered returning their express for the next few weeks coming, I would not.
Just hotel guests get the perk for Epic.

Per thrill data average waits across the park for each day:
5/22: 20
5/23: 25
5/24: 25
5/25: 38
5/26: 31
5/27: 52
Big step up yesterday... will be interesting to see if this pattern holds.

I was so happy they got rid of the virtual queue for ministry a few days after it opened
Crowds are definitely here today

I love that the image for Mario kart is a standard car. There’s something about that that’s hilarious to me.
