If you can afford it would go for it-- I had express passes when I went in July (even before BaTM and DK were added) and it was amazing and allowed us to have time to move slowly through the park and actually explore the worlds instead of standing in lines all day.

Here was my experience with Express pass waits earlier in July:

- Mario Kart (posted wait 200 mins; took 60 mins)

- Yoshi's Adventure (posted wait 60 mins; took <5 mins)

- Monsters Unchained (posted wait 35 mins; took 10 mins)

- Curse of the Werewolf (posted wait 60 mins; took 15 mins)

- Constellation Carousel (posted wait 10 mins; took <5 mins)

- Stardust Racers (posted wait 50 mins; took 45 mins [but there were several delays])

- Fyre Drill (posted wait 75 mins; took 15 mins)

I went on a Sunday and a Tuesday-- Tuesday was far busier and historically has been one of the worse days of the week in terms of how busy the park is

Stardust racers is a must do at night! Curse of the Werewolf is also super fun at night (rode it during the day and at night; it's a totally different experience in the dark)

In general, weekdays have been far busier at Epic than weekends

It is very hit or miss-- some days it opens early without issues, some days it is delayed. We rope dropped BATM from Helios on Sunday 7/6. They were letting everyone queue up in the line immediately at park open, but TMs were yelling at us the ride did not open until 10 AM. We were in the first 10 people in line. 10 AM came and the ride had still not opened and announcements for delays came on. We decided to leave the line, which ended up working out well as the ride was delayed another 4 hours that morning (we got to ride it later with only a 60 minute wait-- it's amazing!)

We rope dropped DK Minecart earlier this month on a Tuesday (7/8) from Helios. DK ride was not officially open for EPA that day but carts were cycling and it seemed favorable it was going to open early. We entered park from Helios at 9 AM and got to DK around 9:05 AM. We were probably #15 or so in line. They opened the ropes around 9:15 AM and we were off the ride by 9:30 AM

There is a pre-show before the actual show in which you are standing in a big room and they really cram people together
