It also has long lines due to low capacity and the impact of FP+. I think that it also benefits from the a) Nothing else new in the park and b) Hype train because, as a ride, it is nothing special.
I don't disagree with the lack of capacity and fastpass affecting the lines. I agree wholeheartedly. But let me add, I believe that if this ride was located in the Magic Kingdom which has many many rides, as a new 'DISNEY' attraction it would still attract long lines, such as is the Disney fan mentality for just about anything that is 'new' Disney. Heck, put Fast & Furious in AK, slap a 'Disney' name on it, and I bet it gets long lines .....not sure NRJ would do well at Universal though. Even Cat In the Hat, one of the few dark rides in either Universal park, is usually a walk on except for busy holiday seasons. And it's probably a tad better than NRJ. So so rides don't do well at Universal. Not a lot of kool aid there, just a bit.It has long lines for the reasons I stated and because capacity isn’t the best. It’s also new and most people don’t know what they’re waiting for.
And if it was in a Universal park as the same ride that it is in DAK (same capacity), it likely would still have long lines bc it’s a family accessible ride that has low capacity. Most of the year it’s around 60-75 minutes. It would be lower at Universal, but that’s bc both of their parks have more rides and attractions.
