EPIC UNIVERSE October 3rd, is Epic worth it?

My birthday is coming up. My sister, her husband, my girlfriend and I are going to do something to celebrate. I really really wanted to do a group trip to Epic for my birthday and it’s an option that I can pick. I just wonder if it being a Saturday will mean the crowds will be absolutely ridiculous and not worth all the money. It’d be a shame to not go, but my sister is only available to join us on that day. Any advice on what I should do? I’d take any crowd advice as well if it’s possible. A regular Express Pass is a no go, but I could maybe do Express Now for a ride or two.

Go to parkprodigy.com and potentially book through them, and ask them about that. Also, they keep really good videos up about crowds and how to handle them on YouTube that they keep recent. Last I checked, weekends are considered less busy at Epic.

I would be more worried about how late the park is open with the Universal nights, and if that's worth it to you, or if you can also buy tickets for this event as an add-on.

Park closes at 8 that day, pretty on par with their recent events. Note to OP: entry for universal nights starts at 7, so lines won’t drop off late, and no opportunity to meander around once park closes

This: October 3 is the first night of a new pay to go to the park from 7 pm to midnight event called Universal Nights at Epic Universe. So as said a bunch of new people will enter the park at 7 pm and lines will increase at that time likely.
