Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

I guess we'll keep an eye out for TM previews slight before then. Opening before Memorial Day would do wonders for the crowds.

It would be a nice surprise for the Memorial Day crowds

Seems like both Disney & Universal have been pretty slow during the last three weeks..

Please let that pin still be in circulation during my next trip!

Softs in 2 weeks i heard yall. Grain of salt of course.

Oh, I hope you're right! We'll be down a week from Wednesday for 10 days.

Waiting for Kong softs and lurking around that area during our trip was so much fun - I really hope this lines up for us! ray:

It sounds like an airplane was passing by when this was filmed

Pleeeease have Express by December. Really hoping to get a day time and night time ride on this with my express.

Does the headlight on the motorbike work? That would be so cool to see at night.

Unlikely, look how long it took for FJ to get Express, it was well over a year I think.

Unlikely, look how long it took for FB to get Express, it was well over a year I think.

I would think Gringott's and/or Kong would be better examples, considering that's a more recent example? How long did it take for those rides? Was FJ* an outlier?


*EDIT
Can't believe I originally repeated the "FB" mistake. :thud:

Gringotts took a couple years. Kong was soon after opening. Fallon & F&F had Express real soon after opening.

 

[TommyJK]

Kong was the most recent "major" attraction (excluding Fallon and F&F as they also have virtual queue to contend with) and that got Express around 2-3 months after opening.

So I'm hopeful Hagrid's gets it in such a timeframe.

 

[LikeMike]

I’d imagine with the expected capacity and if there’s no major technical issues then Express should be up running sooner rather than later.

Im gonna be there in two weeks.... We will just have to wait and see!

What the hell is FB?

 

[Bozobrain24]

What the hell is FB?

ForBidden journey?

 

[allaboutthatchase]

I would think Forbidden Journey is abbreviated FJ

 

[TheCodeMan95]

What the hell is FB?

I was seriously wondering the same thing, lol.

 

[Riler]

Thank god somebody else asked that as I couldn't work out what FB was either. The problem with comparing to FJ or Gringotts is that there was no Express full stop at that time for Potter attractions, they only got it when that blanket ban was lifted years later. This is the first new Potter addition to open whilst the other attractions have Express.

 

[Scott W.]

If some of the capacity numbers are true and not having Express plus the idea of a coaster, a thrilling coaster at that putting some people off, this queue should be moving quick and after the initial opening period and a decent queue experience.

This should be a joy to wait in line if it’s less than 30mins.
