I have heard this...I think some version of the Tapu Tapu model is where Universal is headed.

I can see them being forced to use some type of return time ticket thing if the ride is running at decreased capacity for some reason. Otherwise, I want to believe the queue is long enough to handle regular crowds. They did increase the exterior queue length for this too.
Some of the space has been lost to a preshow and larger themed queue areas, but yea. The extra switchbacks outside should help to offset the lost space inside though.I might be misremembering this but didn't DD have the world's longest queue when it first opened?
According to some, they've been surveying on this big time.I have heard this...
3,180 feet, according to this websiteI might be misremembering this but didn't DD have the world's longest queue when it first opened?
I love Tapu Tapu. It worked beautifully every time I've been to Volcano Bay. I don't get the negativity about it. I would take it over fastpass+ any day!!!Kill me.
Amazing. Just about the distance of the walkway from Portofino resort to the USF entrance. That puts it into perspective.3,180 feet, according to this website
Hogsmeade is nearly always crowded, even 9 years later. Even with the large capacity Hagrid will probably have, that's going to bring a ton more people to Hogsmeade common areas. DC was usually dead so that rarely pulled many people back that way. I'm surprised more haven't commented on how crowded this area will probably become once the coaster opens and the Dark Arts show debuts. It could end up looking like 2010 all over again. Maybe the entry system will be needed for the summer.
It will be very exciting on here after it opens and then goes-down off and on for hours on end, or shuts down completely for a few days.
Like you, I thought they'd throw a few more shops in, but I guess between here and Diagon they thought they were at max. ...and yes, that FJ bottleneck could definitely use some correcting. It was worst than usual on our vacation.Which is why I was surprised and disappointed they didnt use this as an opportunity to give us another row of shops as well as rework the FJ entrance bottleneck.
But that’s crying over spilled milk at this point.
