They allow you to wear the 3D goggles over your glasses. I've ridden it plenty of times with both the normal 3D glasses originally and the new quidditch goggles. I've never had one TM say otherwise to me. Not sure if the other poster experienced this or was just speculating, but I've never had a problem and I've had 30 plus rides on FJ.
As I previously said - no cast members told me to remove my glasses. This was a personal preference. I also wrote that have ridden it with the regular 3d glasses and the goggles. My own personal experience was that, yes, you can place the goggles over prescription glasses. Although when I did it the goggles kept sliding down and I found myself having to hold the goggles on. Different styles of prescription glasses may also effect how comfortable it is, I suppose. Although the sliding of the goggles DID scratch my prescription lenses.
People were asking, so I was trying to offer the opinion of someone who wears glasses. I myself found it to be an issue so I remove them for the ride. I have not ridden 30 plus times, although I have ridden 10 plus times.
To correct what I said - Yes, you can wear glasses on the ride. If it can be avoided, I would not. I am female, and do have an issue with standard issue theme park glasses fitting my head correctly, they are usually too big. That may be why I experienced the sliding around of the goggles/glasses.
I do apologize if I caused unnecessary worry.
Thanks for the info. Adding the WB previews. Do we know if it's only one day or all week long? I'm kinda curious what's happening on St. Patrick's Day. Wouldn't that be fun to celebrate at the Hog's Head? Also, does anyone know if there are additional private events this weekend beside Kaiser? Anything that would prevent tech rehearsals or reduce the hours?
As for the whole glasses thing with FJ, I've reluctantly switched to contact lenses when I visit but because of the lighting indoors. I wear transition lenses and the castle is just kept way too dark! My glasses don't adjust quick enough for the extreme change and it has been very difficult to walk around. I guess the whole Quidditch goggles thing is another reason I'll have to stick to contacts. It's annoying, but good to know.
I just emailed my friend at Warner Bros, i will let you know if I find out if they are having previews on more days than just Wednesday.
As for the castle being too dark, I agree! I thought it was just me. Seems to take FOREVER to adjust, if they do at all. I dont recall it being that dark when i went the first weekend it was open. But I went monday and tuesday this week and it seemed much darker. I took my mom on tuesday and she made that comment as well without me bringing it up. Although I suspect that when there is actually a line for the ride there will be ALOT of time to be standing inside the castle for eyes to properly adjust.
