Okay that looks neat. Just no flame effect yet.

fwiw, the arrow on the apollo statue is now 'lit' as in it has fire at the arrow head and fire from those water towers (like Luna's) as well.

It's driving me nuts not being able to buy tickets for early 2026. Flights right now for me are awesome the week we want to go and same for resort pricing. Park tickets are what is holding me back from booking everything.

Epic’s biggest flaw will be rainy days. Everything stops except the carousel, Mario Kart, Ministry, and Monsters. And three of those four have experienced downtime over the first few days. I can’t imagine a day where it rains and two or three of those rides go down. They will probably have frustrated guests those days.

Do it! By the time ticket info is released you should still be in your refund window for everything else (not that I think there’ll be a problem with tickets).

Wait times over the last couple days have been fascinating to watch. IIRC Mine-Cart Madness was hitting around 80 minutes fairly quickly during early entry in previews, and so far today it peaked at...35. Ministry was also 60 minutes or less after 3pm yesterday and I just can't wrap my head around that.

Saw that standard once-per-ride Express is $300 a day, which is exactly how it should be imo. Make it mega expensive so it doesn't impact standby too badly glares at Disney

Yes....Plus no reason to buy Express while the capacity is capped so low. Most of the attractions are very short lines, with an occasional early day spike with Mario & Mine Cart, but even they drop after the initial rush. . Even Ministry is clocking in at half an hour towards the end of the day.
