UPDATE: Wizarding World (Hogsmeade) Opening Date is supposed to read 2010. Shout out to @tcwarfare3948 for the catch! 👌🏼

i’m gonna treat epic universe tickets as if they’re concert tickets for my favorite artist, as in idc what they cost just give me them

[silentcade]

How awful would it be to stay at the Helios, epic universe out your window and you only can do one day lol, I’m gonna wait until I can do an entire week there and just saturate myself with videos.

Finally a voice of reason regarding AP'S for EPIC. We've had our Universal & Disney AP's forever and I would be shocked if Universal didn't have EPIC as an ad on to current AP'S. I could see us having to maybe have a reservation system to get in, that would be understandable, but for those who think it will be years before they give us the option to add EPIC on are nuts.

Also I agree with the soft openings, i think we'll see these for a few months before the grand opening. Also don't be shocked if AP'S get previews, this park is going to need all the previews they can get so the park operations know how to handle the crowds and get the kinks out before its open to the public, last thing Universal wants is a bad Grand Opening where nothing works.

I figure the first few months will get all the kinks out and then I can truly see how ticket prices will even out. Just gonna hold out until about 2026 to go to check out the new park.

Great video!!! So much value, thank you for your time 🤝😮‍💨 Cannot wait for this park!

[AuntieKnowsKitchen]

Well, my son & dil reside in FL and we visit a lot and visit Busch and universal a lot, but next year we’re doing Europe, so Epic will have to wait til 2026 since it has to be a bundle with only a month one day limit and I hope they are ADA friendly, should considering they’re other parks are as well as Busch G. I’m still EXCITED!!!

Based on the location of the hotel, it looks like the Helios Grand might have a back entrance to the park like the Epcot hotels. And with the positioning of the lands, Wizarding World is on one side of the hotel and Dark Universe on the other. In the artist’s renderings, it looks to me that Wizarding World is very close to the east side of the hotel. It makes me think they might offer Helios Grand hotel guests an even earlier entry than guests of other Universal hotels. If so, the room rates will certainly reflect that … well, they’ll reflect just based on proximity. But if there’s any sort of back entry (and why wouldn’t they not have a back entry for the Helios Grand? It wouldn’t make sense to have to shuttle guests from the hotel to the front entrance when there could be entry near the hotel.) they could easily offer exclusive access times. There could be three park entries from the hotel actually. The center through the lobby which should be open to the public connects Celestial Park but maybe they wouldn’t open that until later in the day. There could be entrances or “portals” into Wizarding World and Dark Universe via the east and west wings of the hotel that require room keys to enter those areas of the hotel.

They NEED to offer AP addition. There's no point for us to get 3 or 4 day tickets for 700+ each just to go to EU when we already pay and can go to Universal and Islands anyway being pass holders. I hope they take care of the loyal Florida Residents that have AP and let us add the park on.

[JacxonLRyan]

I’m going for a week next year for my birthday around Labor Day - cannot wait!

Also, thank you for breaking down the history of park ticket prices and comparing them to Disney. It provides a great context for why they’re doing what they’re doing. Listening to other YouTubers on this subject it’s just all so negative and doesn’t provide any needed context - so thank you for this video 🙏

[LChatmanFL]

Great video. There are so many ways they could do this. However, a reservation system is something I completely expect (except for Helios, Terra & Luna). Crowd control is a priority. You don't want angry employees dealing with frustrated guests. Universal needs to protect both the employees and the guests for everyone's sake. As far as annual passes. My preference is we get the option to add the EU before parks opens publicly and they give us a couple of months to visit the park. This would give Universal a great audience to use as guinea pigs, plus we are more likely to provide the best feedback (except for the people that like to complain about everything). This is when I think Helios will open, after AP previews, when they are ready for the public. We should get the opening date announcement by Aug 2024, along with AP sales and finally an AP preview announcement for March through May. But I could be completely wrong...

Clear and concise top notch coverage on the latest news about Epic Universe, and then you went above and beyond with the comparisons and VIP package predictions.

I plan to be at Epic Universe when it opens! Like on THE DAY it opens! The Gates open up, and boom, I’m all over the place like a rampaging dog!

[jasonlaboy]

thank you for all the research you put into the video! great video loved it!

[BenjaminCutting]

This was so clear, so helpful and so thorough! Appreciated 🎉

[tianabanks]

Do you know if Helios will offer the express pass? It isn't listed like it is for other signature hotels.

[marygracerivera]

Great info on this video. We will be looking forward to more updates. Thank you!

[michelleburrows]

What will happen to the 14 day pass to universal? How many days at epic will that allow?

[JP-]

I'm more interested if Disney will be offering discounts for when it opens. Because goodness knows the lines will be shorter.

[MrJersey]

Another outstanding video on epic. I'll be sure to give you the update when I talk to one of the project engineers.
