Universal Pauses Epic Universe Express Pass Sales Due to Overwhelming Demand

Ahead of Epic Universe's May 22 opening, Universal Orlando halts Express Pass sales while Team Member previews continue.

Universal Orlando's Epic Universe, set to open May 22, 2025, is experiencing unprecedented demand for its Express Pass program.
Express Pass sales have been temporarily paused after high demand caused delays on Universal's website.
The Express Pass allows guests to skip regular lines for most attractions, with prices starting at $129.99 for one day, but excludes select rides like Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry.
VIP Tours, starting at $299.99 per person, offer priority ride access, valet parking, and behind-the-scenes experiences, with options for private or non-private tours.
Team Member previews are ongoing, but no announcements have been made regarding Annual Passholder previews or soft openings.
