Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

Well glad I rode it last night then, there's probably a huge line now. I don't think that's going to have express either.

Would be pretty funny if they opened Diagon while everyone was in line for HE

Express for Express?

Operations must be learning sooo much from this soft... Can't wait to hear a bit of backstory on how it went.

Well our trusty reporter @AmusementBuzz has just gone London - Hogsmeade and is now heading back, so nothing to stop people so far it appears. I wonder how long they'll keep it open if it all goes smoothly with no tech issues.

Did a round trip from London. Now back in the 40 min. line to Hogsmeade, so no restrictions yet.

Oooh... a package holder is displeased!

Am I the only person that purchased a package that's pissed they're letting them in? No offense [HASHTAG]#potterwatch[/HASHTAG], but we paid a lot for this...

Did the "package" say they would have "exclusive access?" I just thought it was access to the park during the opening. The only reason it's exclusive is because the area isn't even open yet.

And they also get into Diagon when it is unlikely that others will.

Just seen a photo of people queuing up to buy park hopper tickets, and the HE has only been open one hour.

Well played, Universal, well played... $$$

"Nobody will be tricked into buying two park passes when they get there..you will just have a bunch of pissed people storming Guest Relations"

Clearly the revolt has begun

Who told package holders only they would have access to the land? It opens in a week.. to EVERYONE.

HTF just posted a picture of the ceiling for HE extended queue in Hogsmeade on twitter. It is poor design in that it would be impossible in real life unless it was hard arch. This is just a flat ceiling. (please don't argue wizard magic with me)

...Wizard Magic it be! LOL

 

[Teebin]

Ooooops... it is arched... slightly.... I couldn't tell in the straight up photo by HTF.

From some other guy...

Boy, the Universal Express is becoming a lot less valuable.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Lots changed. Check the Diagon Softs thread for more.

Hearing from Twitter that HE is munching through the crowds and cycling really well, and Gringotts is also currently up. Good news all round!

The good news is, they might have to slow it down a bit... have 8-12 minute departures, force a 30 minute wait at least.

Not so much anymore

HTF:

Well it's not looking good, thank you Gringotts. #potterwatch
