When vs should. Not sure when... But I would advise Universal to not rush the open. I would prefer they skip the summer if it ensures more kinks, training, staffing are ready to go. We all see what is happening with Top Thrill 2 & Zamperla.
I think one reason it might open early 2025 is so Universal can start gathering data & working out kinks before the summer rush hits the park in full. They know the place will definitely be PACKED during the first couple years and that a number of the rides (like Battle of the Ministry or Mine Cart Madness) could have lots of issues simply due to how innovative they will be, as well as the possibility of the portals causing bottlenecking.
I was just at Universal Orlando parks and resort. I spoke to some of the people that work there and it sounds like they are shooting for an opening by Spring. They said that the biggest issue trying to meet an agressive opening right now are material supply issues.
I like the idea of a pre-summer opening because it gives stress testing time. This park is an unprecedented move for Universal and there will very much be growing pains. I plan to visit in 2025, but i definitely want to do it as far as possible away from the date the park opens😅
If it does open before summer, I bet it would be in a reduced capacity and to certain guests at first. Probably universal team members, VIPs, and executives to make sure the park is actually operational and reliable. Once they do a month or two of those I could see them slowly opening up the park to the public / pass holders
@@maui3551 Don't forget about Helios. I don't believe Universal wants to open the park with Helios still in construction. That would just be odd to have the park completely open and seeing construction still going on in Helios.
Recently, there was an interview of one of the lead project people, saying they plan to open early 2025 and not summer. Somewhere around May (early to mid I think)
I predicted a Christmas 2024 soft open, but I'm less optimistic about that now. A February 2025 soft open seems possible, given how far things are along, but Hurricane season could change that.
The Ministry of Magic ride is apparently much different than Spider-Man, with a completely brand-new ride system that’s one of the most technologically advanced ever built
Definitely different and more advanced but as far as I'm aware it's at the very least a similar concept. But it does have more potential to break down because of how advanced it is.
It's the same in that the ride vehicle can turn, tilt among other things....but it can also now go up and down. It's a very advanced ride vehicle that yeah will probably have some early growing pains for a bit until it gets completely figured out. This will probably have one of the largest wait times in the entire park consistently, like Hagrid's does at their current parks.
It will open April. To keep ques down and give good experience they will limit capacity to start but have 2 sessions some days i.e normal 9to5 then an evening opening 6-12 to maximise profit.
Almost every BIG thing they've done has opened in or very very close to June- Islands of Adventure (May 28) a few days before, Gringott's (July 8) a few days after. But USO opened June 7, WWOHP June 18, Hagrid's June 13. My bet is June.
Best guess is that it will open last week of April 1st week of May. Given where construction is currently and testing, I'd put my money on the time frame I gave. With construction still going on and pathways and tons of landscaping still to go, these things take time. I do believe that they'll do some previews prior to then with some select vloggers and news outlets.
I would not count on the park being opened earlier than Summer. First, they don't want to open when crowds are lower. They need it to look like it's absolutely packed with people so that other people can get excited and plan their visit. Any appearance of the park not being full will look like an absolute failure. Second, the teasing of the parks opening sooner is to get people booking reservations in their new hotels, Stella Nova and Terra Luna. They want those hotels full and don't want people waiting for summer to book their rooms there. Lastly, there's too much on the line to open this park half-cocked. They need to send a powerful message to their investors and to their competitors (Disney especially) that there's a new King of Theme Parks on the block. There's simply too much to risk by opening the parks too early.
@@JHuff1053 Yes, and park attendance is generally lower in March than it is in June/July. Families are generally the driving force for attendance, so why not wait until the Summer when you can have them attend the big opening ceremony? If Universal wants to take down Disney, the Theme Park King, they can't afford to miss their shot.
I Love Both DISNEY PARKS And UNIVERSAL Studios Parks But I'm More Of A DISNEY PARKS Guy Because They Help Me Going Through My Tough Times And Depressions So I Want Alot Of People Needs To Stop Treating DISNEY Like Garbage But Still I'm A DISNEY Fan
people are just unhappy that disney keeps removing perks, focusing on ip rides and merch sales, putting prices up, etc. no one really believes disney is garbage

@@JACOBMORHAR well thats great! im glad you love disney. i used to go to wdw quite often. i haven't been for a while because its so expensive now but i agree disney is pretty good :)

When do you think Epic Universe will open?
When vs should. Not sure when... But I would advise Universal to not rush the open. I would prefer they skip the summer if it ensures more kinks, training, staffing are ready to go.

When it's ready realistically.
I just say that Universal should open the park by the summer season to get a lot people to come and enjoy it
@@LChatmanFL
They can still open it by late summer
@@maui3551 After July, when the kids are back in school.
I think one reason it might open early 2025 is so Universal can start gathering data & working out kinks before the summer rush hits the park in full.

I find it strange that Terra Luna and Stella Nova resorts are opening really early (Jan and Feb).

Yeah the Ministry of Magic ride is suppose to use some elements from the Jurrasic World ride at Universal Beijing
And they called me a madman-
Late Q2 Soft Open/Memorial Day Grand Opening BAYBEEEE
There was an interview done last month with one of the creators of Epic universe that said it would be opening in EARLY 2025.
It will open April. To keep ques down and give good experience they will limit capacity to start but have 2 sessions some days i.e normal 9to5 then an evening opening 6-12 to maximise profit.
All your Orlando content is very good

i would very much want smooth out any kinks before a summer of a new park
when it will sell out day one
Epic Universe should open by June, July, or August so they can get the big summer crowed to come in
I'm hoping by August 7th because that's when I'm going
I'm such a nerd bc I really wanna see the finished traffic circle 😂

I just realized universal is going to have more castles than Disney world 😂 (Peach’s castle, Frankenstein’s castle, and Hogwarts castle)
What, something in the theme park world actually opening not having a delays opening

Part of me does hope it opens in the summer so we have a more polished theme park and so that everyone is on vacation
If they open it earlier then they can work out the kinks in time for the summer rush
@@acowwithlegs Yes! I agree and this could very well be the reason the park will open as early as Spring.
maybe spring soft opening.spring is busy .
Before next summer could mean May, or it could mean June. Definitely not any earlier. Still a long ways to go with things in certain areas.
Booking is only open through April 2025 which I think is a large sign.
I will be there on the grand opening of Epic Universe to get hiring
My hope is an April/May UOAP preview.
That’s great if they do I plan to go in November 2025
Universal doesn't have "Cast Members".
It would be pretty epic if it opened rn
I’m going to predict Easter weekend 2025. Or Memorial Day weekend.
Denpans on Hurricane season for Epic universe to open
I won’t visit till 2026. Give time for the initial hype and crowds to thin out a bit.
Yes April 25
Probably when the hotels open.
Of course it will.
Way to much hints to say otherwise
It's very behind...Harry Potter world especially

It’s okay that you enjoy it. And it’s also okay that people have issues with it. Everyone has their own opinions for different reasons
This is definitely AI
Opening spring to get the lower crowds
