Is anyone else worried about not getting on the ministry ride though, wife’s just said it’s virtual queue like Disney do and we’ve personally not had the greatest experience with guardians, missing it some days then getting it and waiting for our time slot only for ride to go down!
I know you pay your money and take your chances that any ride can be down or not running the day you go but half of me wants to go now and do the 1 day experience while we’re here nos but the other half of me says wait until next trip and more chance of getting on everything and hopefully less chance of missing out on rides!
I just don’t like the virtual queue thing, I can handle long waiting times!

We were there on Monday and the second the virtual line tickets went ‘live’ they were gone. The drops were at 11am, 3pm and 6pm. We couldn’t secure one at all and that’s with majorly reduced capacity

How easy is it to find on the app/where do I look once in the park? We go tomorrow. Hope you enjoyed the rest of the park. 🙂

It’s on the universal app for the actual attraction. When virtual line opens up; the button will appear. The rest of the park was fantastic! You’ll have an amazing time

We missed the first drop but slots become available during the day.

We got ours about 1130 for 4 people with a return time at 1230. We could then change the time slot to 1240 giving us a little more time as to not rush over from Isle of Berk.

Thank you

We don’t expect to get one but we will certainly try. We are going with the knowledge that they are very hard to get so our expectations are set.

A few things I've read that might help (not actually been myself)
-Unlike Disney the times they are supposed to appear aren't always adhered to, it can be before or after.
-Again unlike Disney, although it shows as sold out if you keep trying availability may reappear.

This video will probably explain it better than I have. Good luck and have a fab time.

When is your next trip likely to be? I'd honestly expect these preview dates to be quieter than any time the next couple of years for Epic. Albeit the rides may be more reliable later on. Or you can go for a couple of days.
