Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

[Rhian]

Since it was discussed earlier in the thread: Stardust Racers does seem to duel as mentioned later in the morning. The green track appears to be having some issues (or at least during my visit Wednesday) because only 2 trains were running with guests and the third had ride technicians getting on and looking at that particular train and ran empty otherwise.

There’s also additional signage asking guests to keep their shoes on do the ride with an audio announcement stating the same, and that losing a shoe on the ride can cause ride delays.

In other news, Blue Dragon is delicious with excellent service as ambiance and Oak & Star had a live band playing on the little stage in the corner. Live music was prevalent around Celestial Park which was nice to see.

I am happy to report Stardust Racers was running both sides all day today. And was 3 trains on each track when I rode midday.

And I also agree Blue Dragon is a delightful experience.

(Monsters Unchained preshows were running today. Toothless was flying in Untrainable. Good day all around.)

I would imagine the retention pond could be reconfigured when they are ready to build another park there-- it's all a man made waterway. Maybe even integrated into the park like the lagoon in IoA.

You're correct and I have another layout that I have not posted that has more water in the central spine of the park and reclaimed some land, but that main pond is 35 acres, so it would be a case of taking a smaller amounts and moving then, but drainage basins completely have their own considerations too.

So far, today, Monday Labor Day, has been the slow crowd day of the holiday weekend. Decent weather and short to moderate lines all day, even in mid afternoon. Even Ministry and Mario are very reasonable. Only DK, which was down for a while, is long. I'm guessing evening will be even shorter.
This would have been the best day to do Epic.

Yep, I went yesterday because historically Sundays have been quiet but I think because most have off today, that was no longer the case. This morning in Sapphire Falls so many people were checking out.

Even with larger crowds I still had a blast!

Yes. Usually people are checking out Sat. and Sundays, which leaves Sunday the go to day for smaller crowds. But with the extra day this week, that switched to Monday. 7:00 PM and most every attraction is a walk on, or close to it, even Ministry at 10 minutes standby.
