I'm not at all surprised by this despite all the uproar it is seemingly creating online. Universal has established that Early Park Admission only includes certain sections of the park, and it makes sense to me for the areas of Epic Universe to be open during Super Nintendo World and Celestial Park (areas where there are clones of other attraction and a roller coaster that has been testing for the past 4+ months). The last thing Universal wants to do is to botch the launch of this new theme park, so they are giving guests the expected benefit of staying at an onsite resort, but limiting that access to attractions they are confident will operate the most efficiently when Epic debuts.

I would not be surprised to see Universal to alter these attractions as they get a better feel for park operations and demand, but I don't have an issue with this announcement.
