Look at the lines Hulk gets though. It's got the Jurassic IP behind it, too. I wouldn't be so sure that it won't have some crazy lines. Sure nothing like Hagrid, but honestly, few things do. I could easily see 1.5-2 hour waits most of the first few months after opening.
Those were piles, they have to have pile caps excavated, formed, poured and cured before they can begin going vertical. Pile caps are more along the lines of traditonal "footers" that everyone is used to seeing.They drilled and placed the footers a while back

This is copy and paste for Disney as well. Yes, they could build much fast, they just don't want to for their own specified reasons.It's pretty simple. The project will take as long as they want it to. Sure, it could be done faster. Sure, they could open it next year. But, do they want to?
I feel like we go through this same conversation monthly.
I don't think we should ever "expect" a ride to have Hagrid crowds. Mario/Nintendo could possibly come close in Japan. Remember the wait that USJ had simply for The Flying Dinosaur? If a ride like that gets 7-8 hour crowds, I expect Mario and the gang to get real close to Hagrid considering how big Nintendo is in Japan.I think it will do well, but i wouldn't expect Hagrid level crowds.
For sure. Plus Potter (Hagrid) brings in plenty of attendance. I'd guess the JP coaster will get a bump, but just low single digits....unless of course they do the whole gig with a JPRA redo, land redo to JW etc. in conjunction with the coaster. That could bring a high single digit increase. Potter always has the potential for double digits. Not much else can do that.I don't think we should ever "expect" a ride to have Hagrid crowds.

Here in the US, however, I don't know of anything that will have Hagrid-like crowds on the current slate that we know of. Nintendo is opening along with a new park here as @Scott W. said, so that makes the overall crowds to one specific area less. So yeah, Hagrid is not a good measuring stick for anything
Gah, I feel like this ride is going to have a metal detector...I'll be glad when Universal is out of that phase
Hagrid took just under 18 months
Weird, they don't have them at any other park in the areaAs long as people are still stupid, they'll have metal detectors, so......

Black track looks much better than I thought it would
Blue | Jurassic Park wiki | FANDOM powered by Wikiathat's what I've been saying. not sure why everyone wants blue.

I'd say it'll bring the average time down for Hulk definitely, but it's still at the front of the park, so I still would expect a solid wait during moderate/peak periods at the very least.An interesting talking point could be: what is this going to do to Hulk crowds?
It certainly will make it smaller, but noticeable of negligible.
