Is there a particularly good time to try to get on this ride? Is it best to try to rope drop this (though I don't have any early admission since I'm not on site) or just try sometime later in the day before they close it early?

Are they leaving it open long enough to ride it in the dark?
Ride was down until 1pm.
did it not open with the park? Sounds like no?
I hope they have it consistently opening with the park by late January. I would much prefer to be able to rope drop it rather than spend 60 - 120 minutes in line in the middle of the day.
Agreed. While the obvious response would be this thing work somewhat reliable from park open to close; its apparent that’s not happening.
So if they can just get this thing open for park open, I’d call if a small win. I was thinking if they didn’t have it all up and running relatively consistent by HHN, it was bad show. Now here we are hoping it can by its 1 year anniversary?
Touring Plans Forum users have been accumulating wait time, opening, and uptime data for the attraction since opening. Fascinating read and gives an idea of where the ride is at right now.

Thankfully the ride wasn't in Bee Mode
I did have one observation that irks me
There's test seats at the entrance....Got a ride in yesterday. Entered queue at 3:15 with a 120 posted wait, off the ride at 4:18. They were really cranking them out, and the pre-show was in B-mode with Hagrid's doggo just wandering around on screen, and them just passing people through the room. Thankfully the ride wasn't in Bee Mode. All of the typical omissions others have noted still exist, no blast from the skrewt, 2/3s of Fluffy is in operation, etc. The mist in the dip down to the spike was also functioning for the first time since opening day for me.
I did have one observation that irks me: waiting until the last room to pull people for seat tests is an absolutely egregious choice. Having people wait an hour plus just to be told they can't fit is about as terrible as it can get in terms of a guest experience. I personally do not get a solid green light on the outside test seats but I have no issues fitting in either seat, and I watched them turn away a man not much bigger than I, who almost certainly would've fit. There's gotta be a better way.
Your point?There's test seats at the entrance....
