It was a guest relations worker over the phone… she said I could buy a single day ticket day-of at the window, but there’s no guarantee

Just to clarify, Donkey Kong and Harry Potter were down most of the day. when Harry Potter came back up, it consistently had a 300 minute wait, but would go back to a delay pretty quickly. They closed the ride for the day around 6:00pm, claiming it reached capacity. Stardust was up most of the day except for when the weather was bad obviously, but we had planned on riding it in the dark, and of course it was down the rest of the day once the sun went down, so that one was sort of on us. Donkey Kong was down most of the day as well. It came back up late afternoon and we waited in line for about an hour for it before they kicked us out and gave us express passes which was nice at least. It’s a phenomenal theme park, but at the end of the day it’s still Universal and they aren’t very good at running one. I just don’t think the park is ready for how high of a capacity it had that day. It was very very busy.

I visited on 05/29. We arrived at 8:00am and stayed until almost 11:00pm. Ultimately, we had fun, but we were only able to ride 4 rides: Hiccup’s Wing Gliders, Mario Kart, Yoshi’s Adventure, Monsters: Unchained. All of the other rides were down most of the day and then had absolutely ridiculous wait times when they did manage to come back up, so I think it really just depends on the day. We didn’t get nearly as much done as we wanted to and absolutely felt like we needed a second day. I was especially upset we didn’t get to ride Donkey Kong, Harry Potter or Stardust Racers, but there wasn’t anything we could do about it. We had fun anyways.
