    Jurassic World VelociCoaster - General Discussion

    Posted wait outside is like 110 min, but standby isn’t even into the extended queue (first room is full though). Currently in Express (which was backed up to the entrance), and I don’t feel like we’re moving more frequently than standby. Seems a little slow for express, idk. Edit - sped up...

    Jurassic World VelociCoaster - General Discussion

    Aw snap, I checked the app a few days ago and it didn’t have express listed. Thought there would have been a post about it. Thanks for the update.

    Any update on if VC is getting Express?

    Dr. Doom Refurbishment

    Been going to Universal for years but I just rode this for the first time yesterday. Ride is okay. Thrilling for a few seconds or so (and the view is nice) but man, the queue slaps. Bit of a hidden gem I think.

    Jurassic World VelociCoaster - Reviews, Photos, & Media

    Was able to ride this twice today (first time). Went single rider, inexplicably got row 5 both times, once on the right and another on the left. Waited maybe 30-35 minutes both times with a 75 minute posted wait. I almost don't know what the heck actually happened on this ride, but I loved...

    Super Nintendo World (Osaka)

    I’m also curious about the steering wheels. Maybe accurately turning in the direction of the track helps build points and determines which car will win at the end (items notwithstanding)? Something like MIB’s average score for each car, so ideally everyone would need to be turning the right way...

    Theme Parks & Shopping Districts Reopening General Thread

    There’s no express now, right? Anyone know how this might affect premier passholders since the express after 4PM perk wouldn’t be good at this time?

    Theme Parks & Shopping Districts Reopening General Thread

    Sorry if this has already been answered, but has Universal said anything about APs when they open? Specifically if the term of APs is going to resume at the reopening date like normal. I’m concerned about using my AP to visit in the summer heat if masks are required. If I find that to be too...

    Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

    Nah, I get it. If it was designed for 3D, then it should have 3D. At least the short screens would be mitigated somewhat by having less peripheral vision with the 3D glasses.

    Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

    Hell, even Fallon’s screen is vastly more immersive than this. And Fallon’s ride film looks way higher production and realistic. F&F’s 360 scene has a solid concept but the execution is botched beyond comprehension.

    Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

    Like I can’t overstate how tiny the 360 screens are. Kong’s screens are already too short to hide the tops and these feel about half as tall. I was looking up and there’s sooooo much wasted space between the top of the screen and the show building roof. I have no idea why the building is as tall...

    Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

    Just rode for the first time! Aside from the slow moving line, cringe inducing preshows (that are elevated slightly by the TMs riffing on them), way too long musion scene, and 360 scene with terrible CGI and screens that are about half as tall as they need to be, this was pretty alright.

    General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

    Just saw a sizable group of people from standby near the indoor queue entrance jump into single rider after it was opened. Feels bad man.

    Waits and Uptime Reports - Hagrid’s Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

    Anyone know how late Hagrid stays open on Saturdays? Is it typically 6pm?

    The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

    Been out of the loop for a while on FJ but does anyone know if there are plans to address the locker situation? Still a total mess.

    Waits and Uptime Reports - Hagrid’s Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

    Waited around two hours for this today and it was absolutely worth it. Best ride in Orlando. Original take, I know, but still. edit - whoops, this isn’t the review thread.

    Incredible Hulk Coaster Refurb

    The launch into the zero-g roll is a pretty intense and unique feeling. But everything else on the ride should be no problem if you can handle RnRC. Sit near the middle of the train for a slightly less harrowing ride.

    Disneyland’s Attendance Issues Summer 2019

    That would be so frustrating. Maxpass is brilliant because of its simplicity - no one has to refresh the app or fight over a finite amount of FPs. WDW could have unlimited FPs but what happens when a family purchases that option for DHS but Slinky doesn't have any FPs left to book? That would...

    Disneyland’s Attendance Issues Summer 2019

    Welp, I'm done (until tomorrow) and my legs hurt (and will prolly hurt tomorrow). Attendance issues or not, this felt like a true off season day in the best way - the way that's getting more and more rare at WDW. If I had been surveyed about the ease of getting on attractions today, I probably...
