Been in the Ministry Queue for 3 hours. It’s down for the rest of the night. They are dumping the queue.

POV leaked. Comparisons to RotR seem silly — they’re almost nothing alike lol

obviously a very poor vid, but it seems more like a spiderman/transformers than RotR

I would implore you that out of any ride to not judge a video POV, it would be this one.

Yeah, the POV is especially awful and we also don’t get any real idea of how the motion feels.

I’d be willing to bet what’s physical will also be hard to decipher, too. If people on the ride had a hard time and needed clarification… haha

I dunno. this attraction floored me, jaw still on the floor. I won't say anything for I knew nothing going in but this attraction is way above anything I ever expected out of it.

The last seven posts in this thread make me want a thumbs-down reaction option.

We're now posting judgments about attractions based on shaky-cam POVs from vloggers. (I also could use a vomit emoji here, @Brian G. )

I definitely did not seek out any sort of footage… but if I did I would just say, holy crap.

Moving this to here (and to add a bit, this also comes from convos with those who rode it today):

__
So I know it's a limited perspective--one I won't be having the actual physical one until my 2026 trip; but I wanted to share a non-spoiler thought on Battle at Ministry.

It feels from the things I've been able to see and know of; that this is the FJ of Epic Universe. Doesn't seem nauseating of a experience, but it seems like a first pancake that you make for breakfast. It will be a good pancake to eat; daresay great even--but you know you have potential with another pancake.

Technologically it seems really stunning and is a great blueprint for future growth. The blending of screen and physical media seems incredibly impressive especially early on.

Makes me excited as hell to see what it's like in person next year though.

I just have a few questions from that POV. Will spoiler tag just in case.

I thought the Rhino was supposed to be on a motion carousel like the Indominus from Jurassic World Adventure? And I've seen people say that there's no drops in this, but there's clearly at least a simulated drop in the video.

Hey @saint.piss , Can you elaborate on the process at all and why you don't think it worked?
What's the comparison to Disney's system in your opinion?

I assume this is going to be the case for Ministry the entire first year the park is open, but, as someone who aced all of Disney's VQs, i'm trying to estimate how concerned i should be!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.... but it looks like all tickets have to be grouped together under one account, and you can't have the same ticket in two separate accounts?
