    Bigfire Restaurant

    We ate there last week and I think it is still a little bit inconsistent. We got the pork belly mac and cheese and it only had 2 microscopic pieces of pork belly in it. We also got the beer glazed scallops and the glaze was amazing, but the bread that came with it was stale/overcooked. The...

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

    Ride has been delayed for 1.5 hours. Apparently they are honey bees which are endangered in Florida so they can’t just kill the nest. They had to call in a specialist to deal with it. It’s in multiple places, one is imbedded in the wall to the left of the track. They also said it stung multiple...

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

    Currently delayed in the last room. The ride has been running very reliably for our trip, so I thought it was weird. Multiple team members have stated that apparently there was a bees nest spotted on the ride and they are currently getting rid of it lol.

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

    Yeah that tracks pretty closely with the queue times stats over the last few days. If you're planning a ride keep in mind that it reached capacity between 3:30-4pm for the last 3 days. Luckily with these early closings the ride has opened consistently at 9am for the last 3 days. So I'd...

    They just kicked out everyone from the queue for the night. There were apparently ~2,000 people in line at the time. Some people waited 5.5 hours. All of them got express passes, but they are not valid for Hagrid’s. I definitely feel like this is the right decision. When they had many trains...

    The wording from TMs for us was “It will not open before noon”. Talking to an off duty TM in line, he said that means they are having a “oh crap” moment.

    Yup still 6:30am opening for the resort walk today as well. Also here is the crowd as of 6:50am. Early morning crowds starting to dwindle. You don’t really need to show up at 5:00am anymore like we did :)

    General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

    Something clicked for them around 7pm yesterday. The ride was operating extremely reliably, they were using both drop tracks allowing for many trains at once. When we got to load there seemed to be constant trains coming around the corner ready to load. Another issue they were having was audio...

    The last 100 people or so in the queue for the day at 5:00pm. Took about 2 hours to get through the mostly full outdoor queue with some random downtime. Expecting another 2-3 hours in the indoor queue. Desperately hoping to get my first night time ride in!

    Ride techs just came by and said they are able to push trains through and audio is working. Hearing more confirmation that the ride will be operating by 11am.

    This is where they stopped the queue as of 8:25am. There about 30 people ahead of us. No one being let into hogsmeade yet. They started letting people into IOA at 8am. Was a mad rush to get to the start of the queue which is at the port of entry lookout. The queue is huge. Switchbacks are...

    Opening procedure for today: Everything opened at 6:30am like Universal stated (Garages, security, etc.). It’s 7:30am now and they haven’t let us into IOA. They did state the ride would not open until 9am. Edit: they just announced that Hagrid’s will experience an extended delay and will not...

    I think a lot of people forget that this will be great just for the "coaster" aspect of the ride. I got the opportunity to ride wavebreaker last week and the fact that you are so close to the ground and the ride vehicles feels so open, it truly feels like you are on a jet ski, skimming across...

    My guess is "Welcome to the Jungle" = The Forbidden Forest section of the ride. Most people have been saying the forbidden forest doesn't really start until the drop track building. So I'm thinking it has something to do with the force of the drop track on one of the ride vehicle components.

    Video from Fox 35 saying "You will not be able to use express passes on opening day" If they really have 12 trains on the track at once, this line will move quickly!

    I joined the queue ~5 minutes before 10am Pacific. There was one slot still available for opening day when I got into the reservation system at ~10:18 Pacific. Overall the system worked flawlessly for me. Kudos to the engineers. I'm sure this was a terrifying experience for them lol
