Universal Epic Universe - New Florida Theme Park

[Maelstrom]

I certainly hope so.

We've made a plan to try and have our 1 day at Epic on Tue/Wed/Thurs in week 1 and if we fail then try again week 2. Give ourselves more chances basically.

Probably going to have to get there a good hour or so before the park opens to stand a good chance of getting in too. I think it will probably hit capacity every single day in August unless there's a bad storm.

August is now one of the quieter months of the year, well as quiet the parks can be in Orlando But am sure Epic will be rammed still. This is shown in Disneys park ticket prices where August dated tickets are in the lowest price band. This is evident from the second week in August when us school start going backafter Summer. Having been in August twice now, while parks are still busy they are not manic and outside Hagrids most lines don’t average anything much past 45 mins at universal, often less. October was certainly busier when visited previously.

on a side note if you can visit MK on a Halloween party night as while closes early at 6pm the park is much quieter than a non party day. Then visit again just in the evening for the fireworks on a Non party night (maybe tagged onto another park you have visited earlier, ie Animal Kingdom.

Yeah it usually is quieter in August but it won't be this year. I think it's going to be rammo all month. And given that you can't buy a single day ticket to Epic then it's going to make the other parks busier too. Not a bad strategy from Universal really to make people buy 3/5 day pass and only have 1 day at Epic.

I am anticipating much larger crowds than normal but we are going to plan as best as we can for this. We are even prepared to drop a Disney day if needs be as we are far more excited about Universal anyway.

Uh oh, is a ticket not going to guarantee entry?

I’m off in Sept with tickets bought through the American universal website which allows 1 visit to each 3 parks once over a 5 day period, including one epic universe. Do you think there’s a chance we could be turned away from Epic if crowd levels are high? Our ticket is dated in the sense that we’ve set the 5 day period, but no more specific than that. I never considered they may stop admittance due to capacity, as I assumed that’d be factored into tickets sales
