General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

[Parkscope Joe]

There must surely be a huge element of artificial inflation going on with the queue time though, in the vein of FoP’s 180-but-actually-90-minute queues.

Once the length goes beyond a certain point it’s pretty impossible to accurately assess how long it will take, even with an attraction with well-known throughput and regular operation. With this much of an unknown quantity it’s practically impossible.

100% what is happening.

100% what is happening.

Yep. If I was the manager and I saw the crowds in line I’d also say “make it 10 hours for now, we will adjust as soon as we get an idea how many are here etc.”

All outside rides are now delayed due to inclement weather, although HMCMA continues to be advertised at a 480 minute wait despite not running.

 

[Legacy]

Inclement weather is causing some downtime.

 

[Brian G.]

We'll be there to observe the madness. Purely academic purposes.

I'm more so just hoping at least Alicia gets to ride

She's about to board.....and weather...

 

[Fantod]

Inclement weather delay, waiting in the catacombs

 

[Alicia]

Waiting in hall before load. I ain’t going nowhere till I ride this thing.

 

[fryoj]

Has there ever been a 10 hour posted wait time for a ride?....anywhere?!?:wow:

Wasn't the Elsa meet and greet something stupid like that?

 

[Nick]

Hope you guys braving this thing brought rain gear It’s gonna rain all day. Should make the long lines even longer with downtime.

 

[ChristopherSE]

Yikes, this forecast is looking bleak.

Do we know why the line wasn’t moving much earlier? Or how many trains they’re running?

 

[Evan]

I’d say this is a popular opinion. Congrats to Universal on bringing in the crowds today. Disney’s turn in August. What a time to be alive for theme park fans!

Also, May all the Guest Relation TMs have the spunk of Professor Umbridge today.

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

She was speaking Portuguese

Don't forget to smell the skrewts.

Must’ve been Trelawney’s idea to open a new coaster in Orlando in peak storm season.

TM just came around saying ride was closed due to 5 mile lightning, but now its open again

I was waiting for the comparison to Galaxy Edge opening and Smugglers Run Wait times which never go over an hour (for obvious reasons) - I am not looking forward to June 23rd when the real crowds will be at Disneyland for GE. I will be at DHS in September and am not really looking forward to the cluster that will happen.

At any event I agree that both Disney and Universal are delivering good things to us fans. This ride looks amazing.

Random reminiscing question for @Brian G. or anyone else who has rode it. Back when we didn't know much about the ride, there was discussion that we could have been riding brooms as RV's. With the way the motorcycle RV is designed, could that have been done as a broom instead or would it end up being not believable?

News to me. Still no announcement.
