General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

[Andysol]

Best of luck to everybody today and I hope it all goes well.

I’ll be asleep (in Japan) by the time anyone starts riding, so I can’t wait to wake up and read the great reviews as well as the carnage of opening day.

Here’s to good weather and no downtime!

Accidentally

There’s a dozen of us. The attendants just got into their booths and signs just went on. Should be opening up soon here.

Edit: The real line already forming at the park though:

Will resort walking security start the same time normal security does?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

This is mayhem! Tons of cars making continuous u turns waiting to get into parking

This has the feeling of those crazy Black Friday videos from about 5 years ago.

REVIEW: Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure at Islands of Adventure | Inside Universal
Just read the excellent review of "our" Brian and I wanted to thank you for the great article and photo's. I place my reaction here because I don't want to pollute the review section.
I understand that some themed parts went by a bit quick, as some other reviewers noted. That made me think about the first time I did Spider-man. I came out of that ride with so much amazement and joy but didn't see or remember most of it because it all went so quick. After many, many rides I still see new details and that is the sign of a great ride. So I see this as a huge positive.
Also the on ride photo's I see posted by Universal from press day are great. They actually look like promotional photo's with big smiles and happy people (except most don't look like hot models) and I think that is the best compliment the team at Universal can get and the best advertisement for me as a future guest.

IOA Gates letting guests in now

Little detail I just noticed watching the coaster in action, the break lights actually light up when the motorbike’s are slowing down.

Think that’s such a cool detail that they didn’t really have to implement.

Look at all the nerds.

NERDS!!!!

*wishes I was there*

 

[DragonSlayer]

This is exciting to read even if the organisation for people who are actually there is leaving something to be desired Hope you all enjoy!

 

[Fantod]

What’s the line look like at this point?

I'm waiting near Poseidon's Fury entrance, got to this point at 6:15(parked at 5:30), I'm assuming the front of the line is at the ride entrance (before entering queue) how far the line stretches behind me at this point I do not know?

 

[Teebin]

Is it possible that they will open the ride early in order to chip away at the crowds? Any precedent?
