Epic Universe Rope Drop Mode Bug

Universal Orlando Resort Touring Plans
1

Hello friends,

I’m planning a trip to Epic Universe in late September and have set up a Touring Plan with Rope Drop Mode enabled. My plan is to arrive two hours before park opening and head straight to Mine Cart Madness.

However, even with Rope Drop Mode active, the software is showing a ~82‑minute wait for Mine Cart Madness. That seems wildly off, I should be on it within 15 minutes max if I’m first in line!

Does anyone know:

  1. Is Rope Drop Mode officially supported for Epic Universe?
  2. Could this be a bug in the wait‑time predictions?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

I think there is not enough data yet for Epic touring plans to be completely accurate. The park is still
working out issues with rides (lots of downtime).

I’d say, keep checking your TP as the date gets closer. And the forum to see what the best strategy is.

Universal no longer lists Mine Cart Madness as an attraction that is open for Early Park Admission. That is a change since Epic Universe opened. If that 82 minute estimate includes the hour for Early Park Admission, that would help explain it.

Thanks @TomDorans - that is the reason. When I put Mario Kart first, it has zero wait.

Thanks again.
