Visitors entering Epic Universe on Saturday were incredibly excited. You could really *feel* the energy, and people were cheering, even with the cloudy weather and everyone using ponchos. After being closed for 17 days, Stardust Racers reopened, and even though there was a tragic accident last month, people were eager to ride it again. This was most obvious in how long the lines were for the attraction.
Let me show you what I mean about the atmosphere. As one X user demonstrated, people were genuinely excited to be there, no matter the weather.
Of Course Epic Universe Reopening Has Led To Insane Wait Times
With just 11 rides and a handful of shows, Epic Universe has seen significant wait times ever since opening in May. While there’s plenty to experience beyond the rides, Harry Potter and the Battle At The Ministry has consistently had long lines from day one. Stardust Racers, a dual-launch coaster with two tracks, has had fluctuating wait times depending on different circumstances, but it hadn’t previously been known for the longest queues – until yesterday.
However, when the coaster finally reopened, theme park enthusiasts rushed to experience it, which surprisingly made some of the park’s other popular rides a little less crowded. One user on X (previously known as Twitter) pointed out this contrast in a post, playfully commenting that “nature is healing.”
By Sunday morning, the lines had gotten much shorter, although there was still a bit of a queue for the Epic coaster. The park opened at 10 a.m., and wait times rose quickly to 35, then 45 minutes. By 10:50 a.m., the wait had reached 60 minutes, but this was still less extreme than the wait times experienced on Saturday. (Note: and it decreased after that.)
As a big theme park fan, I’ve been hearing from people who visited over the weekend that some of the signs on the ride have been updated. This seems to be confirmed by an internal memo that’s been circulating – it all adds up! It’s exciting to see little changes like this, and I’m eager to check it out myself. You can find more details here, if you’re curious.
After a safety check by Florida state inspectors, the ride was said to be functioning correctly, and the team had completed all required safety procedures the day Kevin Rodriguez Zavala died. In a letter to staff, President and COO Karen Irwin stated that both the systems and equipment were working “as intended”. Despite concerns raised by Ben Crump, the lawyer for the Zavala family, the coaster ran yesterday until late in the evening without any reported issues, other than unusually long lines.
