Epic Universe is SO close to opening; we can taste it! Well, actually, we were recently lucky enough to visit Epic Universe and see all the lands and ride some rides ahead of its opening.

Now, one ride in particular, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, left our jaw on the floor, and we’re pretty sure it’s going to be the most popular ride in the whole park — it even has a queue that can hold up to several hours’ worth of guests. Well, a 10-hour wait for a ride is impossible for a lot of folks, so will there be a solution? During a recent visit to the park, we noticed that a virtual queue has been put in place during Team Member previews, so most visitors won’t have to stand in line for hours to get a ride on the new attraction during this soft-opening phase.

During Team Member previews on April 13th, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry was using a virtual queue system rather than a standby ride line. Here’s how it works: once you’re logged into the app, you’ll have to make sure your park tickets (or, in this case, preview tickets) are linked for everyone in your party.  Then you can find the ride and choose a return time. Times are currently available for 12 PM, 3 PM, and 6 PM.

With that said, Universal has not confirmed if the virtual queue system will stick around when the park actually opens, although it might make things a little easier for guests. If you will be visiting Epic Universe after its opening day (May 22nd), you’ll probably want to head to Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry first, just in case, if that ride is a priority for you.

Right now, this is the only ride in Epic Universe that is using a virtual queue. We also spotted a “single rider” sign at the attraction, which could mean Universal has plans to make the ride more easily available.

We’ll keep an eye on the virtual queue situation and keep you updated, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
