All the Magical Details About Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry — Now Accepting Universal Express!
What is the best time to ride Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry? Great question! This is one we've been putting on our Auror hats for and closely monitoring day-to-day. After thorough research and intense debate, we've concluded that the best time to ride is going to be at rope drop. Guests can flock to the attraction's queue when Epic Universe begins operations for Early Park Admission. You'll then have to wait at most an hour until the park officially opens to all guests for the ride itself to start operating — but hopefully, by then, you'll be in the beautifully air conditioned Ministry Atrium and out of the sun!

July 3, 2025 - Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry shows why hype can be problematic for a theme park attraction. When Epic Universe first began hosting previews in the spring of 2025, this new Wizarding World ride wasn’t even ready.

I’m going to Epic Universe in a few days and I have a question about the wait times for a specific ride. I’ll be staying at Stella Nova, so I have Early Park Admission, but I’m confused about the actual opening time since I keep finding different answers. The first ride I want to do is The Battle at the Ministry because I’ve heard it’s a must-do, but I want to avoid the long lines. Could you please tell me the exact opening hour, how EPA works, the best route, and which entrance I should use? I’m new to this park and don’t really know how things work, so I’d appreciate any guidance.
Top answer 1 of 5

If park opens at 10 and early entry is at 9, I’d suggest getting there around 8/8:30. They let everyone in the park before 9 and around 9 let you into the open portals if you have EPA. Everyone is allowed to queue for BatM, not just EPA.

You’d be better off doing DK first thing and then ministry later on. It’s reliability has been much improved and I went on it after 9 the other day with a 20 minute wait. Edit: to say heavily luck dependent. Who knows, they can all be temperamental.
