Universal Orlando Resort has now confirmed that multiple attractions at Epic Universe will be open to Universal hotel guests during early entry.
Epic Universe Early Entry
Epic Universe previews are currently taking place with the park open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. except on Friday, April 26, when the park will close at 6 p.m.
Guests staying at Universal hotels, including Universal Helios Grand Hotel, are eligible to enter Epic Universe one hour early at 10 a.m. Yesterday, we confirmed with a vacation planning Team Member at Universal Helios Grand Hotel that, despite the early entry, no rides would be running at that time. Universal has now said this was a miscommunication, as there will be rides open during the early entry period.
Stardust Racers and Super Nintendo World, which includes Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, Mine-Cart Madness, and Yoshi’s Adventure, will be open during early entry.
Epic Universe previews for Annual Passholders and other select groups are taking place from April 16 through May 8, 2025. Five preview dates have already sold out.
Annual Passholders are not yet able to use their Early Park Admission or Universal Express After 4PM benefits at Epic Universe.

Have they said if that will be the same rides for hotel early entry when the park officially opens?
