Guests were very confused by the dual entrance to Bloodlines/Jurassic World on the night I was visiting. It could stand to be more clear.

I'd guess confusing entrance, both due to its weird fusing with Jurassic World, and the fact that it's a weirder location post-2017 regulars aren't accustomed to. (Even I forgot a good handful of times where everything was supposed to be this year despite keeping track of construction.) A later opening for Early Entry, so a lot of people arent sticking around on the lower lot for it or returning later in the night if they've done everything else down there, and lukewarm word of mouth, though I'd consider that to be the lesser factor since we're still early.I'm amazed that Bloodlines is getting no traffic. Universal Monsters tend to do okay. My only theory is confusion to where the line is. There's no way word of mouth spread to GP that it's terrible yet. Something like Dead Exposure getting higher traffic is a little strange to me, but maybe people just think "cool, zombies." Maybe the title Bloodlines is unclear what monsters are present.

Nope. No way. Exact opposite. Keep the popular houses in the furthest locations to help thin the crowd. Make them earn that experienceThey really need to start putting the least popular house in the Curious George location that doesn't have to wait in that parking garage.
I'm honestly just grateful the heat wave is over for now, the mist fans blending with the insane heat and people packed in down there made it feel like a florida summer simulator. No matter how unbearable it is now with bigger crowds I'm just glad its 70 degrees unbearable instead of how it was last week.They really need to start putting the least popular house in the Curious George location that doesn't have to wait in that parking garage. I feel terrible for anyone stuck in line for Insious, it's absolutely miserable.
Yes, there is a separate line for RIP.I understand that, even this year, you can use the RIP credential to do the RIP and not Express line, letting you walk onto houses even post-tour. Is that right? [So different than Orlando.]
Thanks - I should clarify that the question was that you get to use it as many times as you want, even after the tour is over.Yes, there is a separate line for RIP.
The description is a bit vague about whether you'd get to go in the RIP Line or just get unlimited runs in the Express Line once the tour is over, but I understand from everyone you can still use the RIP Line once you are no longer with the guide.For the price you pay and in the description when purchasing, you get "unlimited" express

Yeah, Express is much, much quicker in Hollywood than in Orlando.I would not worry about lines if you have express....I've yet to see someone in express have to wait even 10 mins
Did RIP on Friday the 13th. Had a 5PM tour time and was finished by 9:30PM (this included Mario Kart & a bar stop, but no shows).I'm going on Saturday the 28th and have an RIP tour starting at 5:00. I have never done RIP at Hollywood, so would appreciate some thoughts from the pros:
-I understand that the RIP tour that starts at 5:00 is likely to end in the 9:00 to 10:00 range - does this seem right, or will it be later?
-I understand that, even this year, you can use the RIP credential to do the RIP and not Express line, letting you walk onto houses even post-tour. Is that right? [So different than Orlando.]
-If I am aggressive about using the credentials to try to get multiple runs of houses in, what does the group think is feasible for one night? I think this will be one shot for Hollywood since I live on the East Coast and would like to try to get multiple runs of as many houses as possible.
