After lunch, Im bout to ride hagrid with no extended queue. Got to the park at 9:15. Pretty awesome for it to be that way at 12 today. IOA also stays open till 10 so night ride here I come!
So queue itself holds about 180. Good to note.
Now’s a good time to start virtual queue.

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 was not working on some rows, so they would have to dispatch trains that were not full. That didn’t seem to be the case last night as I didn’t see any empty seats for all the trains on the track.
Every ride last night was flawless, nothing was broken. The last riders of the day got off around 9:15pm which means they had a solid 11-12 hours for test and adjust.
Kudos to the techs for getting to this point! This ride is extremely complex and I’m sure the last two days have been rough for them.
Glad to see the different issues being ironed out with each passing day of operation!

So a couple days before opening...what was that incident everyone kept quiet about? The "uh oh"
It will be interesting to see the wait times late tonight. Between the early visitors calling it a day mid afternoon and people being scared off by the huge queues over the past few days, it could be a great time to visit.
I think there was a hiccup with the track switch. Caused some downtime for testing, but was fixed remarkably fast, and I’m thoroughly impressed.

Social media can be very toxic and it can be a blessing at the same time. If enough people put the word out that the kinks are ironed out, things could be crazy! as soon as tomorrow. I hope they've been able to add more trains.
Hopefully they’re getting used to adding more trains. Good luck!

Wouldn’t I love to have a stool right behind the operators in the control booth for this thing. What fun during these early days.
Speaking of which, is the control booth behind the wall that we thought it would be.... the wall directly behind the load area coasters?
