General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

[Quint]

It's already been clarified that they plan on running 8-9 normally.

I received a recent update that they hope to have it up to 12 by the end of the year. Here's hoping.

It was painters tape lol

They removed them

Spared no expense.

For anyone who still doesn't believe that they have 14 trains for this ride, here's your proof
View attachment 10008
The license plates tell you what car and train it is, so 714 would be car 7, train 14.

I heard also the top license plate numbers were chosen by every member of creative involved on this project also.

Looks like it's been another steady day of operation so far. Too bad the rain looks like it's coming back this weekend

Speaking of painter's tape......they seemed to have removed that at some point between TM previews and grand opening.

I had mentioned - I think it was either here or other forums - that they had a line down the middle in the last part of the queue before the load platform.

I also noticed (when we we rode on Saturday) that the TMs no longer hand out cards for sidecar or motorbike. Do you think they found this system to not work well, so they scrapped it?

I could see how it could create confusion.
Just loading up and first one in slides all the way over seems the most logical to me.

That's what I was thinking, they seem to like doing that a lot

Its a very nice touch, they should be honored.

When I rode the other day as single rider, they just put me with someone said "You guys are best friends" and had us decide between each other who would ride what. Side car on the left, Motorbike on right.

The first one they made has the initials "JKR", but I have yet to find it in the wild.

Theoretical capacity <> operating capacity - call me when you have 12 train ops - :deadhorse:

:ban: ok I'll shut up now.

You don't normally run all the trains you have all the time

Also, I only have a rotary phone and I'm not sure how to dial a number on it, so joke's on you

So I was following the app all day and it seemed like the ride didn’t have any downtime today? And if it did it wasn’t lengthy

Rode it earlier. Went down for like 15 minutes or so around 7.30 and they were only running 3 trains after that.

 

[Teebin]

Wild that the app isn’t listing anything at all for this attraction this morning. No time, no delay, nothing.

Says closed now

 

[JungleSkip]

Open with a 180 wait

 

[Muggle148]

They open kinda early today

 

[JungleSkip]

Looks like we're in our first extended downtime in a few days. Been down since 1:30

EDIT: Back up and running at 2:15

 

[voodoo321]

I'm going to attempt it on Sunday. I haven't heard too many people talking about the single rider line and if/how much it shaves off the wait time. I know it is all hit and miss with down times and everything but can anybody suggest a general strategy(time of day, single rider, etc)? Thanks.
