Thanks for the updates. This ride is unlike any other rope drop because of how unreliable it is. Yeesh.

got on the line for hagrid today at 11:16 , got on the ride at 12:18. amazing ride btw.
I've been in line for about 70 minutes now and am currently in the caves. Single rider isn't open. My estimation is they've been running somewhere between 5-7 trains all morning because the line has had 2-3 minute gaps with no movement followed by spurts of quick progression.
Update: Got on at 10:30. Singles was open as I boarded, so I got back in line again. It took me about 20 minutes to reach the split with an additional 10 or so inside the actually single line.

Do you remember what the posted wait time was each time you went into line?
210 both times. It dropped down to 150 when I got off the second ride, but it closed shortly after due to rain
And the ride has been closed now for over an hour due to technical difficulties.
I wonder what the longest technical down time this ride has suffered yet...

I would say the day that it was closed the entire day back in early July
That’s crazy.
I know it was down a good 4 hours or more yesterday. Heard lots of complaints walking back to the park entrance lol
Just to point out a similar new attraction opening a few weeks after Hagrid, and I mentioned this previously on an earlier maintenance closing. Kennywood's Steel Curtain coaster, high tech but certainly not as high tech as Hagrid's, was closed for maintenance 'again' from Saturday to Weds. It's now been closed almost half the days that it's been in operation (July 13). It's gotten pretty good reviews but park goers are upset with the breakdowns. Unfortunately, with all of this new and high tech, attractions are generally going to have a rocky three to four months of opening issues. It's the negative side of having a new high tech attraction, but everything usually works out after those opening issue foibles get fixed.
Another example (although also not as high tech), Tidal Twister at Seaworld San Diego has now been closed for more days than it has been open. And for rides being opened before they’re ready, Maxx Force at Six Flags Great America opened with almost none of the queue ready. They had the railing laid out on the big concrete pad which was all blocked off.
Got in line at 1:15, in stables at 2:10. This is great.
I got to gate at 7:30, on ride at 9;30 after delayed opening.
Seminole, Orange, Osceola, and many other counties are going back to school today. Should lighten the load on the lines a bit, hopefully.
Value season started today, lower ticket prices, team members told me they expect higher crowds.
I don't expect that to make as much of a difference as one would think. We're talking around a $10 difference between yesterday and today. We'll see though. My main point was more the local crowd is gonna be a little lighter.
