General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

[Ryan]

Okay folks: we've had to say it multiple times but YES, we know there's a nighttime POV lurking on the interwebs out there. Do not post it. Media was strictly forbidden from filming onride last night. Thank you.

 

[Teebin]

^ I wonder if they have figured out which media persons to never invite back again...

Hard stop on the outdoor rides... just as FYI

Talking to the boat captain today and he said hotel boats start at 530 tomorrow. Take this with the appropriate grain of salt.

 

[Alicia]

It’s raining it’s pouring.

Mother Nature has quenched the thirst of I-drive... aka the rain stopped

Does anyone have a guess as to how long the wait for the ride is anticipated to be after using the virtual line and physically entering the queue? Like, will the queue be filled to capacity before virtual line is enabled, or will they use the virtual line after the wait time hits a certain point to keep the actual amount of time you’re waiting in the queue down? Just curious.

Honestly we don’t know.

Lightning still in area.

More rain enroute too

 

[Brian G.]

There was a chance, before. I'd decrease those chances dramatically now.

Hoooo boy won't be riding this for 3.5 months. Wonder what the wait times will be like by then.

Maybe not as bad as you think. I bet HHN nights, when the majority of the crowds flock to USF, will be a great time to enjoy Hagrid's.

Or.. *shivers* all the people not participating in HHN flock from USF to IOA. :bigeye:

In all honesty, we're there from 9/28 to 10/6. At some point it's gotta be a fairly short wait. We're planning to hit "rope drop" and make a B-line straight to Hagrid. I mean.. how long could the wait really be at 8:05 AM on a Monday in September?

Touché. And maybe they'll also be running the Dark Arts show by then, to attract even more crowds... Eek.

TMs confirm, the ride will not operate the rest of today due to loose “
Thunderbirds” (TMs included.) Just have to wait until the ride’s “open” open.

It's gonna be a rough summer.

Opening a major outdoor attraction at the height of storm season in Central Florida? What could go wrong?
