The good news is, they might have to slow it down a bit... have 8-12 minute departures, force a 30 minute wait at least.

I've missed a ton the last two weeks because of school, but that's an encouraging sight to come back to!

I'm sure it's impossible to know, but is an Express line in the plans for the future? Gotta say, it pisses me off a bit to spend on-site hotel prices and not have at least one HP attraction to use the Express on.

The hotels are fantastic value and get ExpressPass on EVERYTHING ELSE.

You can always get right to the head of the line at Flight of the Hippogriff!

Yes, but when you can't use the Express on the longest wait in the parks...:shrug:

I also don't call $396 a "fantastic value". Literally the only reason I stay on site is for the Express.

But you can get into those areas an hour before the park opens to the public, which sounds like a great benefit to me.

But then I'd have to get up earlier on vacation than I do when I'm home...I guess that's a benefit. Gotta try to get that Red Bull passed the TSA, though.

Rode Gringotts twice tonight. They have it working a bit better. A few odd things though, stuff not synced in the preshow/elevator, weird dark square at the edge of one of the screens. But still a great ride!

For those that have ridden HE and Gringotts...how are they?? Now, I dont want spoilers so that's why I dont want to check the dedicated Gringotts thread. Im good just knowing how much you liked it and what you'd compare the rides to. Thanks in advance!

That's the price that came up via a quick and random search on hotels.com for the Hard Rock for July 14th.

But anyway, :focus:, let's not dwell on this. I just hope this lack of Express is Potter exclusive and doesn't start to become for norm for yet to be built attractions.

Yeah, that's the only thing that's keeping the faith alive that it's just Potter attractions. Which I don't really understand the reasoning behind it. Is it purely crowd control?

From what I've heard, FJ may be getting express sometime next year. I think it makes perfect sense for crowd control - FJ still gets a the biggest wait times most crowded days, and I'm sure Express would make it worse... I thought that newer attractions got this treatment, but if Transformers got it right away, it might simply be due to the craziness of Potter crowds... Can you imagine them trying to implement express on Gringott anytime this summer?
