The queue is closed now.

I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned.

Is there an on ride photo?

Yes it hasn’t been in operation yet, it’s curtained off. No mention of where it’s taken though I’m guessing the final launch.

That guy seems miserable. I hope he’s still in line

Oof

At least #distwitter has something to complain about for a couple of weeks

 

[Alicia]

What other effects does it have?

Fog and red lighting, in addition to spinning (all of which were off for my ride).

2025: And he remains in line until this day.

I think the real last time something like this happened, was Diagon for you guys.

I know Pandora didn't hit Potter crowd levels, but i'll still go to bat for it as far as huge turnout. I waited about 1.5 just to get into the land and then another 4 hours or so to get on FoP. Obviously part of that is that FoP has capacity issues that it has never seemed to figure out due to overheating, but it was still a pretty crazy day.

You're right though that Diagon definitely was the last time something opened to these kinds of crowds. Potter has an insanely rabid and devoted fan base.

Asked about Express Line. Kinda bummed it’ll skip preshow, but is actually similar set up to Dragons, in where you come in.

This would be a good day to keep IOA open until Midnight.

It also would've been a good day to open IOA at about 6 or 7.

Just got to the line and they said it was for closed for the day. Is this a lie or are they being serious about the ride being closed for the day?

The app says at capacity, so I assume the line is long enough to last until closing.

With the amount of people already in the queue, they aren’t letting anyone else enter...especially with more potential inclement weather in the future and potential downtime. The ride has gone down a few times today already.

Theme Park Express has posted another POV on Youtube not from the front row. I like it better because you can really get a sense of the motion of the train and the speed. Check it out

So roughly what % of the line is skipped to this merge point? Or more importantly, if merging from that point, how long would you guess the wait is from there?

Oof

Yikes

Interesting development

Expecting another “start the queue at 6am” type of day. I’ll be in islands tomorrow enjoying some water rides far far away from potter lol.
