More infoThursday at Epic Universe in peak summer, schools still out. Aug 4 actual hit the ceiling (predicted 8, actual 10) and today's snapshot shows the highest average wait of any park (avg ~39 min, Mine-Cart Madness peaking at 135 min) — demand for Universal's newest park continues to run ahead of the model; nudged up and will re-verify tomorrow.
