This morning, whispers circulated about claims made on X’s popular blogs and news sites, stating that employees at Universal were allegedly informing guests that special, limited-edition merchandise for the grand opening of Epic Universe (specifically a commemorative medallion) was said to have run out, even before the park officially opened to the public.
Today, our team is informing visitors that the exclusive #EpicUniverse Grand Opening medallion, which was previously available during the media preview, has already been sold out and won’t be accessible for regular attendees today.

The article, popular among theme park enthusiasts, indicated that team representatives were informing visitors that the medallions had previously been reserved during media previews and wouldn’t be accessible for purchase by regular customers on this day.
But according to Universal themselves, that’s simply not true.
To clarify, a Universal representative directly told That Park Place: “This morning on opening day, there was a certain amount of stock offered in the park. Contrary to any speculation, it didn’t run out prior to today’s opening.
The claim that only the media and VIPs got their hands on the commemorative items before the gates even opened has been debunked. Although it’s possible that the supply was scarce and sold out promptly upon park opening, daily visitors were indeed given a chance to buy the medallion themselves.
As a movie enthusiast, I’ve seen it before – misinformation spreading like wildfire in the high-stakes world of new theme park launches. The grand opening of Epic Universe is no exception; the buzz and rumors are swirling around as fiercely as the dragons from Berk’s Isle!
In summary, Epic Universe, Universal Orlando’s most daring theme park project so far, is segmented into multiple captivating realms. These include Celestial Park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, Super Nintendo World, Isle of Berk, and Dark Universe. Each realm presents a breathtaking blend of advanced rides, themed eateries, and immersive narratives that have been competing favorably with Disney’s latest offerings.
The special-edition medallion under discussion showcases the Epic Universe emblem and marks the momentous grand opening. Such items tend to be sought after on the first day, not just by collectors, but also by enthusiasts eager to preserve a memento symbolizing theme park history.
It appears there was some misunderstanding due to high demand, but here’s the clarification straight from Universal: This morning, the medallions were accessible for those who made payments.
In case you didn’t get one yesterday, it wasn’t due to the media guests taking them all. Instead, it was simply a case of high demand outstripping supply, which is quite typical in the realm of collectibles.
