An exciting day for us as we visited a brand new park. Epic has four worlds with a portal into each. So far the wait times have been ridiculous, but with our trusty fast passes we were fine.
Arriving at Epic
The portal to Mario Land
And some Photopass photos
Which is very intense and noisy
Mario cart ride
Mine Cart Madness
The portal to Dark Universe
Which is Hammer Horror themed
On the Monsters Unchained ride
With some of the gang
Lunch at Atlantic in the air conditioning
Then the Carousel
Our old friend the Helios Grand in the background
Another Harry Potter world
Battle at the ministry ride
Hiccups gliders
A fun show
Back to Dark Universe for the burning windmill
And general spookiness
More Monster friends
And the carousel at night
And finally the Fountain Show
Leaving Epic at 10.30
There are some duelling rollercoasters at Epic called Stardust racers. Sadly a man died while riding yesterday so they were closed, and will be for some time. Vicky didn’t want to tell me as she felt it may put me off riding Velocicoaster! Ha! As if I was even contemplating it.
Atlantic was a lovely restaurant. We had a fabulous meal and spent a longish time in their air conditioning to recharge the batteries at the hottest time of the day.
Thank god for Fastpass! We breezed past the humongous queues of up to 200 minutes! The longest we waited was probably 15 minutes to ride the carousel at night.
We had a quick snack at the Burning Windmill latish on using mobile order. If you imagine Disney Mobile order being all butterflies and fluffy bunnies, Universal mobile order is Frankenstein and Dracula. The app said it was ready so Vicky trotted off to collect, to find about 40 other people waiting and some entertainment from an irate (attempted, Vicky was taking no prisoners) queue jumper.
All in all we loved Epic, but only because of the Fastpass
