Overview
- From February 1–28, Early Park Admission will cover select attractions inside SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, and How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk without listing which rides will operate.
- Celestial Park’s Stardust Racers and Constellation Carousel drop from the early lineup, and Dark Universe is no longer included during the early hour.
- Universal updated its online guidance to reflect the shift, which outlets report is intended to accommodate new-ride reliability, staffing, and crowd-flow adjustments.
- The Ministry of Magic’s inclusion will likely add an entitlement checkpoint at the portal, ending the workaround where non–early entry guests pre-filled the Battle at the Ministry queue.
- The change is expected to alter rope-drop strategies and increases the relative value of Early Park Admission for on-site hotel guests and eligible passholders.
