General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

It'll get "fixed". Who knows when they'll ever get to the target 12 trains, but they'll fix it eventually to get more capacity than 6.

I’m not surprised. None of the other Potter rides have any interactive elements.

I think the parks are moving away from "interactive queues" as they are finding they have to constantly repair stuff the public likes to destroy. App related content is the future..just look at Disney.

Yeah im not sure if you're trolling but not a lot of people are eating up the phone interactivity.

no I was being serious...not saying it's "better", just that I see interactive queues being used less and less since their repair has now become of the rides operating budget.

For this I could see them having something, but again, I'm sure at full capacity this line will continuously move

That’s what I would do. Rather be first one on, whenever it opens. Of course, you never know when that may be.

I know, its unpredictable.. thats why i hope that 9 is the safe way to go

12pm: still in the waitzone at the talking fountain, waiting untill they start guiding to the ride

Based on what i've noticed the past week, as soon as the ride opens, thy automatically put the ride wait time at 180 minutes. This is almost always an over-prediction and to cover their ass just in case the ride breaks down. Also, it increases guest satisfaction if they only wait about 50% of the posted wait time (or less).

Just got off the ride.. so it took me 4 hours in total. From that 4 hours, it was inly 10 min in the actual que. Lots of trains running, and running smooth for now. Still a huge huge line at speaking fountain

Forgot the ride itself..... STILL AMAZING!! Rode the sidespan this time, got to admit that the motorcycle gives a more thrilling feeling then the sidespan.

Still one of the best rides from the parks!

Syfy is currently showing a Hagrid’s Motorbike Adventure marathon with clips of the ride’s development and shots of the queue/ride during commercials.

Yes and there’s some other fun things to see in the background of those videos :grin:

 

[cwoms1991]

Could you see how many trains might have been running?

 

[sjago13]

There are 7 trains running right now. No downtime but there will be weather coming in soon. Got in a line at 1.30 and took 90 mins at posted 180.

5 minutes and 5 seconds for a train to make a complete circuit meaning ~1150 an hour with no stoppages.
