General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

Back up! Vroom Vroom.

Does one actually feel brakes when coming into Hagrid’s barn or does the train just slow down on its own... sorta.

Too, I wonder if any of the system supervisor code has had to be rewritten or modified to handle some unforeseen issues.

It's braked. You can feel it slow down

So a train has gone by every 30 - 45 seconds for like 30 minutes and I've moved approximately 3 feet. I'm assuming this is because of a backup of Ruby ticket folks?

I have no clue. Whatever, I'm off! Holy poop, that is Universal's best ride. Sorry, Spidey. The vibe I felt on that ride is the equivalent to listening to and feeling the vibe of every Kendrick Lamar song at once.

Same amount of Blast-Ended Skrewts

Something I didn’t say before but can now definitively say now that I’ve ridden it.

This is the type of coaster Gringotts should’ve been.

A ride through the Forbidden Forest would’ve made more sense with stopping and going over a ride through the vaults but by some bright thinking they reversed it. Hogsmeade is back to being on top by an incredible margin.

Success!!!!!!! Got front row bike. Loved every minute of it.

Just jumped in line ~20 minutes ago to try to get a night ride, but there's lots of lightning in the area :thud:

Prolly because Hagrid’s is the same size as the entirety of Diagon Alley

Also the fact a main design decision for Gringotts was to make it more accessible than FJ.

But...I like Kendrick...

Also, what's a Ruby ticket?

Express pass for people that were kicked out of line/got evac'd off the ride to ride again. It merges in the laboratory room with the regular queue (about 20 min wait from then on). It's the only way to get "express" rn for the ride, but as it filters in with the main queue it causes the queue before that point to move much slower, especially after a ride stoppage where the ruby ticket line builds up.

I think it’s about time someone did a large scale indoor coaster. Uni could’ve been the first and knocked everyone’s socks off.

Also the fact a main design decision for Gringotts was to make it more accessible than FJ.

In hindsight a bad decision imo considering how Gringotts is setup in the source material. It’s not supposed to calm. After Hagrid I’m at a complete 180 on my initial first thoughts on Gringotts.

Take this with a grain a salt. Rode today for the second time. It appears that the motion camera pointed at the track/bottom of the car is gone.

I didn't see one either.

I seems they must be satisfied with how the trains (wheels, axles and undercarriage) have been performing lately. Or have all the information they need to implement permanent fixes.

 

[JungleSkip]

Dunno if it's just another msitake or what, but Hagrid's on the app says "Opening at 9 AM". Considering it's after 9 and there's no wait time up I assume it was a mistake.

It always starts like that until a human eventually manually changes it.

That's such an odd system they have. Seems weird that they have to manually change it every day.

 

[Teebin]

I would love to know what all the TM’s are doing inside the queue/load building on these delayed days... imagine that you arrive at 8am and just wait and wait and wait.
