So this morning was interesting. People who purchased early access for Super Nintendo World, ran to F&F instead and clogged up the line. That’s why the wait started so slow. They had to accommodate those guests.

I personally would not allow guests who buy early access to just sit at the F&F queue.

I was also informed that technical rehearsals is for testing all scenarios. When the ride actually opens, express will not be an option, and single rider line may or may not be open depending on many factors.

The most important thing I need to know about F & F is: are we family?

It really shouldn't be. But guests just hung out by F&F, and they opened the queue for them. So there was already an hour wait before the park even opened.

I got to go on it yesterday it took 17 mins to get to the lockers line, lockers line for single rider was like 20-30 mins and I got off the ride about 90 mins after getting in line, I got the front car.

The Good, the ride is fun. Like its just a fun and very smooth ride. I get more sick on HP in one go then I think I would on this even after like 3-5 rides in a row
It looks much more intense then it looks, which I'm not saying as a bad thing. I think this is a very accessible "extreme" coaster like I feel like Incredicoaster feels more extreme then this coaster but thats because you are gliding on this track. My favorite part of the ride is the drifting, it reminds me of grinding on the Tony Hawk video games. The views are very nice and I think many people will like this ride

Now on to the bad and WTF?

For one not enough lockers in single rider, the line closes because that line is too long and for anyone saying "Well yeah too many people are using it like Express" Have you been to Mummy? Jurassic? Mario Kart and a ton of of Universal rides with Single rider yeah this happens a lot, especially at the start of its life for the first few years. This seems like an oversight, like what would be the negative of having too many lockers? I will say I have no idea why this ride has these great bigger lockers but Mummy and HP have ones half the size on both rides your being forced to use lockers so no idea why the other rides lockers are sooooo small but happy these ones can fit basic backpacks

The Q, For those talking about why people were upset about tarps MK, its because that land looks nice and you can see it from the outside, this Q is hidden and I just don't get why they didn't make a roof, I get not enclosing it because of the nice views of the area below and the coaster to build anticipation but its bemusing in a state where its hot for 5+ months of of the year why you'd make a Q here you can get baked (not the fun way), did the project run out of money?
I waited in the single rider but can tell you the Q from what I saw is fine but man....just feels like more could have been done to make people entertained for 90ish mins most people will be waiting for this ride

Also from what I heard the Q is suppose to hold about 90 mins line of guests if true, another....WTF moment. Like I get this ride wont have an insane every second but HHN, Grinchmas, spring break, the back half of Summer and Fan Fest its going to be packed which is a good amount of the year and to me insane to built a ride with a limit of less then 2 hours in this day in age, your selling express passes meaning the normal line will be bigger/move slower

I think the ride would have also benefited from a start show scene and ending one, which it looks like Florida is getting the start scene from a video that just came shows, so I hope thats true.

This ride for me is a hard thing to really rate. Its Fun but also took about as long to built as a full land. I hope they listen to feedback and fix what they can

It might have to do with express, as others noted once the express line is cleaned out the normal line moves pretty nicely, so might be more to do with that because I have heard many are waiting over 2 hours, but even doing the math if you have to wait 20ish mins outside the Q and 90 mins in the Q

But if someone on here has more info on how many people the Q can hold please post it, I'm just repeating what I heard a TM telling someone when waiting in line and why it was coming out of the Q area into the park

I went express yesterday, and had two delays to make it over an hour wait (stairs had to be closed for cleaning, ride broke down once). The TV screens showing the safety videos are definitely annoying on loop, but even those is after the lockers. I hit both delays after lockers, so everyone around me didn't even get to have a phone to kill the time during those very long delays. I hope they can add something to help with the queue entertainment.

I'm just realizing this is my first soft opening for a ride ever! Not counting Villain-Con, that's not a ride.

Single rider I didn't have my phone for over 45 mins

I do wonder how this will affect the ride for some people, like I know many parents or groups don't mind breaking up because you can just call someone and with this system you may not have your phone for 30+ mins but it will be hard to know how long many won't have phones until the ride lines cool down a little

Not to mention, the single rider line is almost completely exposed to the heat/sun. People were complaining of dizziness and heat related issues.

Why oh why does Southern California parks think that because we are a sunny state, everyone wants to be exposed to the sun all day?

Just got off the ride. 3rd car so I didn't spin as much as some others, but holy poop that's so good. It's not intense (I actually like coasters better when I'm not getting crushed into my seat), but instead it's just pure fun. Really good airtime too! Top ten for me, exactly where will be determined when I ride the other cars.

Also, I forgot how great the Secret Life of Pets ride is. WHY WAS THIS NEVER CLONED TO ORLANDO?!
