Epic Universe Ticketing Speculation

[JunoSynth]

I've said it before... no park in Orlando has every sold out during its opening month, never mind opening day

Interesting. I did not know that. That's part of why I asked the question. And yeah, count me as one of the ones visiting during Sept so I can combo HHN with Epic.

I don't think it really matters if the park sells out. As long as the Epic crowds are large and consistent, for an extended time, and Epic doesn't hurt Studios or IOA attendance, that's probably the best result for Universal/Comcast .

Universal wants ~10m guests per year at each major theme park. If Epic opens and they can get 10m at USF/IOA/EU and the hotels are full then it's a success. Anyone setting up "must sell out" goals is setting unreasonable expectations.

and 8 to10 million at USF & IOA is still fairly comfortable for guests. 12 million is tough for either park since lines get too long when they approach those 2022 attendance numbers. Just not enough capacity.

This may give us an idea on when they plan on soft opening the park If it does soft open late April, then ticket information can’t be too far away.

That’s a good point, I wasn’t thinking about that.

Mardi Gras is finishing early next year, March 30th 2025, even with a late Easter....Guessing....but coupled with this Dining offer end date....sounds to me like Universal is pushing to soft open and/or open Epic mid Spring 2025.

Really putting the emphasis on honey BAKED ham in 2025, eh?

I was about to say, better cut off that dining card offer before people use it all in a single evening
