Universal Epic Universe - New Florida Theme Park

In August 2022 when last went to Busch gardens, I found it hard going being out all day and that park doesn’t have the most shade and lack of indoor attractions/aircon queues etc and then didn’t feel great the next day, so want to avoid that.

I don’t think Epic will be as bad as Busch for that sort of thing, it has multiple indoor shows and and attractions plus restaurants. Busch Gardens is more like Thorpe Park in that it’s mainly outdoor coasters.

Yes you are right, although I still take breaks at the Disney/universal parks. I get there for opening and then take break mid afternoon and return to a park late afternoon. Will See how get on as plenty of indoor quick serve restaurants to take a break in with food/drink etc.

We won't be taking any afternoon breaks back to hotel. Knowing my wife and son they won't wake up for hours and go back that day.

We have planned for a day off on the 7th day (Saturday) of our holiday though to recharge the batteries. Definitely needed.

Looks like they have managed to open the park with all the major attractions open which is positive news.

Battle at the Ministry clearly proving to be very popular though but I suspect these figures are slightly skewed down to so many people missing out on it during their previous visit.

Great opportunity to get lots of rides in though if you don't mind missing out on the BATM early doors.
