The highly anticipated and exciting Epic Universe park is set to open on May 22nd, but we've been lucky enough to report live from the park ahead of its grand debut for a special sneak peek! We’re diving into all the attractions and inviting you along for the ride.

We’ve already experienced the magical portals, watched the new How to Train Your Dragon show, and are now diving into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic. We're about to hit the land's main attraction and can hardly contain our excitement!

We've just been on Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, and there's so much to discuss! Although we couldn’t take pictures or videos during the ride, we've snapped plenty of queue photos and are ready to spill our thoughts.

The Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry has a minimum height requirement of 40" (102 cm) and offers a Single Rider Line option. If you're just curious to explore and not ride, there's an exit available before boarding.

For those who wish to avoid spoilers about the queue and ride events, it might be time to look away! For everyone else, we’re about to step inside Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry. Eeekk! Queue spoilers ahead!

The attraction takes you via the Floo Network from 1920s wizarding Paris to the 1990s British Ministry of Magic for Dolores Umbridge’s trial. One of the highlights is being transported by Floo Powder into the immense ministry room.

We were in awe of the reveal at the end of the passage; the ministry room is stunning, filled with intricate details that left us speechless.

The queue itself is extensive and meticulously detailed, a clear sign of the ride’s anticipated popularity. There's so much to see, from the Fountain of Magical Brethren to Dolores Umbridge’s office, it's like being a kid in a candy store.

The ride kicks off in a magic elevator, taking you to Umbridge’s trial. An unexpected twist occurs, leading you through an adrenaline-filled adventure alongside animatronic characters that look remarkably lifelike.

From the amazing effects to the seamless integration of screens and animatronics, the ride immerses you in the wizarding world without needing 3D glasses. We were blown away by the ride’s originality and detail.

Epic Universe opens on May 22nd, with tickets on sale. We can’t wait to try everything this park offers!

We’d love to hear your thoughts! What part of Epic Universe are you most excited to explore? Let us know in the comments!
