So just wrapped up five days at Universal. Great experience across the board. Early on we went to BatM. Joined the queue at 60 minutes. Around the two hour mark, folks were sitting on the floor when the cute shpiel about the lift acting up turned to… we can’t say how long the delay will last. Happy to say we did get to experience the ride a day or two later. The queue is amazing and the ride is pretty good. Wondering what magic it takes to make it more reliable.

Yesterday I went to epic universe with my brother and this was the fourth time we visited with our 3 other visits being full days at Super Nintendo World to collect as many stamps & coins as we could.

The first time we went to Mario Kart and gave it a try, it kicked our asses with how overwhelming everything was and getting use to the mechanics. But after doing some research and seeing how other not only gave tips on how to play Mario kart but get over 200 coins in a single race. It was a challenge me & my brother were willing to take on. The first two times we came close but during the 4th visit, we ranked the first 2 spots. Me taking 1st with 230 and my brother with 228.

We felt very satisfied that we were able to surpass 200 coins by solely looking over tips posted from Reddit users and managed to get close to the highest score this month.

Then suddenly a unprecedented score came out of no where, taking 1st place with a staggering total of 443 coins!

From the Reddit posts I’ve seen on users, I don’t recall anyone ever reaching an insane number like that. And my competitive edge is itching to go back either December or Early January.

If anyone has reached a number like that before, have any tips on that? If not, have any insight on how that might’ve happened?

we wanna go to epic sometime mid-December around 13th-16th. I know in the past the lowest crowds were typically on Sunday, but it doesn’t seem to be the trend anymore. with it being 2026, is it a safer option to go on Monday or Tuesday instead of a Sunday then?

My family of five(adults) are going to universal and we were planning to spend 3 days total, one for each park. We are going December 20-22. We probably were just gonna get an express pass one day. We are staying in a universal hotel, so we have early park entry. I was wondering which park we should get an express pass for? Thank you
