Overview
- On December 3, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry posted a 380‑minute standby wait, with Universal Express reportedly around two hours, pushing many guests past six hours in total.
- The Ministry of Magic ride has sustained multi‑hour waits since Epic Universe opened on May 22, underscoring persistent demand pressure in the land.
- A new Epic Universe permit describes site utilities, foundation work, and new construction across roughly 150,000 square feet, a footprint comparable to the Le Cirque Arcanus and Battle at the Ministry buildings combined.
- Universal PR executive Alyson Sologaistoa said the resort is preparing “exciting additions” to Epic Universe, offering no details, location, or timeline.
- Observers cite a capacity imbalance concentrated in the Ministry of Magic area and speculate the Wizarding World could see the first expansion, while guests should expect long waits to continue until new capacity arrives.
