General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

So how are the sidewalks? lol

Haven't seen the video, but they are the pre-show. However it's almost immediately after entering the inside queue. So the video may have begun after.

From the Behind the Thrills video, they mentioned they didn't see the preshow. Makes sense not to hold up the line for now. I'm surprised they put the preshow right as you enter, but I guess in a way it makes sense that they wanted people to see it and then move on to the rest of the queue. I'll post the actual video on the review thread, since it makes more sense there.

So based on this queue tour:

It doesn't seem the queue is as plussed as I had hoped, probably still the least impressive Potter queue outside Hipogriff. Lot's of quiet, dark tunnels. And a big switch back room.

Do we have any word on how it’s been running today? Number of trains? Downtime?

The photos are stunning! It really can’t open fast enough

So IOA is about to have three of the best rides in orlando in one park. Cool.

IOA is the Disneyland of Orlando

Theme Park Insider posted a queue walkthrough on YouTube and I was expecting to see the Hargid x Arthur Weasley Musion pre-show?

They didn’t run the Hagrid/Arthur preshow because they were doing interviews in that room this afternoon.

I think this might be my new favourite photo of Hagrids.

The most recent Instagram Story from MuggleCast shows the unicorns at the end of the ride:

That's too bad. Many people on here were thinking it would be like an attraction all to itself.

Guess it’s not pouring rain at Universal as bad as it is at my home right now.

Holy crap, it's almost hard to believe that's a real photo and not a piece of concept art. Wow.

The efforts to plant a forest really paid off. Even new this place looks like its been there for years. I cant wait to see those trees and bushes grow over the coming years.

It’s five minutes until the show begins and it actually is starting to rain a bit

 

[HPFred]

It's live

 

[Magic-Man]

It's live

Was it delayed?

 

[Dancapt]

They played some of the hype videos for the ride earlier. I'm guessing the rain is throwing things off.

Still waiting - at least Galaxy’s Edge livestream was on time

I know right, Universal is trash

Reportedly due to weather issues. Yay Florida.

lmao
The boxes blocking the entrance wasn't such a big problem after all. Nothing a bit of magic(and TMs pushing stuff off the way after the cameras stopped recording) can't do.
