On the grand opening day of Universal Epic Universe at Universal Orlando Resort, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry quickly reached a staggering five-hour wait.
Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry Opens to Five-Hour Wait on Grand Opening Day
Guests attending the opening day of Epic Universe were met with a hefty wait for one of the park’s marquee attractions, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, located in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic.
When viewing the attraction’s page on the Universal Orlando Resort mobile app, the wait time shows a 300-minute wait, as of 9:12 a.m. The park opened to guests today at 9 a.m., following a short opening ceremony at 8 a.m.
According to the app, all other Epic Universe attractions are currently sitting at a 30-minute wait or less, including the highly popular Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment in Dark Universe.
It is unclear if the wait will consistently remain this high for all of opening day; we will continue to update this post as the day progresses.
During recent guest previews, the attraction hit a 300-minute wait with guests being sent down the wrong queue, causing the actual wait to be a bit longer than advertised.
