It actually makes me worry about the Epic version too — this version tested too, after all. As more months pass by I’m wondering if this is a Top Thrill 2 situation…

With a USJ trip planned for November 1st, I've lost all hope for it being open by then. Maybe softs?

From what I understand, lots of technical quirks and issues that are being figured out on both continents simultaneously. Whenever someone finds something wrong with Florida, Japan has to test it too, and vice versa. Funny enough, the process that I've heard sounds a little bit like QA / Bug Testing for a video game.

We've actually seen this situation before with Rise of the Resistance and it did not go so well, and that was using a relatively proven trackless technology. Even though California was completed first, they redirected all the resources to open Florida's version first due to the strategic importance of Disney World during the summer. I suspect that if Universal was forced to choose based on available resources both internally and from the manufacturer, they would also choose Florida over Japan because opening a new theme park with a missing area would look much worse to the press and public.

I have no doubt the troubleshooting is even harder to deal with given it's a brand new ride system and there's a huge time difference and possible language barrier.
