Back in the Ministry of Magic queue. Entered before 8pm park close. A couple of standstills. One for 20 minutes. But line moving well now.

Advice for Battle at the Ministry seems to be like word-of-mouth advice for Monsters Unchained. See it in the afternoon or later. Initial morning rush has substantially longer wait. First photo is current wait. Second this morning, and was actually 310m.

Very unfair. Once past the Battle at Ministry sign guests are told to choose left line or right line. TM says "doesn't matter". Right line is eventually to be Express. Directly to Floo. Left line is full queue, including the outdoor berm. An additional 40 minutes.

A look at the first guests to enter through the Chronos on Apr 17. When Epic Universe opened to Universal Resort guests and annual passholders.

Timelapse video of the opening of Epic Universe to #UOAP and Universal Resort guests. On April 17, as seen from Helios Grand Hotel. Look for details, such as pressure washing. If you were near Chronos that morning you may see yourself. Especially the first guests!

A portable chilled water cooler has been in the CityWalk escalator area Mens restroom. First photo today, where recently the water supply and return are routed in the ceiling. Second photo Apr 23 where at first the tubing for the cooler was at sinks. Air is near 100% humidity.
