General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

[Alicia]

There are 7 trains running right now. No downtime but there will be weather coming in soon. Got in a line at 1.30 and took 90 mins at posted 180.

5 minutes and 5 seconds for a train to make a complete circuit meaning ~1150 an hour with no stoppages.

If they are in fact running 7 without issues, that may be a new milestone for the ride!

Yesterday I got on twice both with a 180 min wait. First trip was around 2pm and we had a 40 ish min weather delay and it ended up being about 3 hrs, then the second trip was around 7:45 and it took just under an hr. Seems hit or miss depending on time and weather

Seems like this ride can no runt in the rain at all. Both hulk and doom open but Hagrids is delayed. Very interesting if this is the case, but yay for 7 trains.

It takes longer to walk the track for safety check after the lightning passes, so it usually opens at least 10-20 minutes after Hulk.

(They may get faster at this later though. Just how it is now.)

 

[cwoms1991]

That makes sense but it seems like it’s been down for the last 2 hours where hulk came back about an hour ago.

Don’t think it’s down for weather, got in line around 440 and it was running just fine until maybe an hour and a half ago when it went down for a delay and they never played a weather delay. They’ve played the bikes need additional work spiel a few times now.

 

[Gambit]

Yeah I’m sitting in the Owlery and it’s been down for about 2 hours now. Seems like more than rain this time. Everything else is open.

Great ride. Finally got on today and got the front row. What a blast. Not better than FJ or Spidey though.

 

[Tyc00n96]

Any update? I wanna try to get on tonight

It usually closes for capacity between 7 and 8 so unless they reopen soon they might just say it's at capacity depending on how many people are in the queue currently.

Also fun note. When I rode earlier we got stopped on the 4th launch, the one before you loop around to fluffy, and those launches are able to get the cars back to full speed from a stop. Was really cool. Normally you come into that launch with decent speed so I figured we would limp through it but no. Each launch portion has retractable break fins between each launch fin sections that stop you quickly and smoothly. We gently rolled back and just waited for the traffic jam ahead of us to clear.

I got to witness the coaster valley last night. That was funny

This is getting ridiculous... why has the app been saying CLOSED all morning long?

Yesterday i waited untill 12:30 before it actually openend and only then the app said open with 180 mins as starting point

Because that's been how they've been running it?

I have been checking it every day and after 9AM it has always said DELAYED and not CLOSED

Someone flipped the wrong switch on the app

Yea, whoever’s updating the app has been inconsistent often.

 

[hr13]

Calling the number for operational updates does confirm its open today, just delayed until midday. App is definitely inconsistent and experiencing (intentional?) latency.

 

[Teebin]

Yeah, it says delayed now. It was just that CLOSED makes it sound so final and that something catastrophic had occurred.

Aaaaaand back to closed

Edit: Back to delayed now. Seems like someone can’t make up their mind
