Disney4me Posted Thursday at 02:56 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 02:56 PM We’ve been spending a lot of time at Epic Universe lately, and we’re not done yet! Portal Entrance into Ministry of Magic Research is important, people, and we’re doing everything we can so you can have the best trip possible once you visit Epic Universe. Part of that research includes chatting with Epic Universe Team Members to find out the ins and outs of the park and what tips you need to know. And, we think we may have stumbled upon the best ones yet — at least when it comes to one of the most popular rides in the park. Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry is arguably the most popular ride in all of Epic Universe (but don’t get us wrong, they’re all worth checking out at least once, if not again and again and again). But, because of its popularity, Universal is using a Virtual Line to help avoid having a several-hour-long queue. This means parkgoers have three daily chances to try to get a spot in the Virtual Line — at 11 AM, 3 PM, and 6 PM. Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry But, if you’ve ever tried to snag a virtual queue spot at Universal or Disney World, you likely know it can be finicky. We asked a Team Member if there was a trick to securing a Virtual Line return time, and they told us that you want to AVOID the in-park WiFi at all costs, as it tends to have a slower connection. If everyone in the park is trying to use the WiFi on the same app at the same time, it would make sense that things would slow down. Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry Instead, make sure you’re using your cellular data network, because it will likely be faster.

He said that once you get past the first screen in the Universal Orlando app, don’t sit and mull the times over — just click on any available time and move on to the next screen. Apparently, a lot of people get caught up discussing which time would be best, but during that time, all the options may be snatched up. Make sure you have a plan with your group before the time comes! Higgledy! There is a Single Rider line at Battle at the Ministry, so it’s a good idea to consider that if you’re not able to snag a Virtual Queue spot! Single Rider Line You also might want to keep in mind that the ride may experience a delayed opening, which is something that can happen to any ride, but especially for rides with complex tech like this one. When that happens, Universal will not open the Virtual Line until the ride is ready to welcome folks once again.
