Definitely not the max amount of trains.

Thanks for correcting that, I think the TMs were trying to say it was the most # of trains they had run at 1 time (not the absolute max possible) but twitter isn't good for explaining details ;-)

Just wanted to say that from my experience at the grand opening, I had two observations.
1. The single rider line is painfully boring and basically not themed. It's supposed to be quick?

2. The loading platform/room is amazing and the themeing is so great. I love the spiral staircases and huge tall room.

The ride was spectacular and everything worked well on my ride.

Wow, that looks great! Could you also share the logo of the ride that you used in the wallpaper?

Seth; Thanks for the guest appearance on TPI clarifying the capacity situation with Gringotts.

Gringotts is quite gorgeous and breathtaking. Haven't felt so amazed with a ride since the first time I rode Kongfrontation, and that's saying a lot.

Joined the line in Carkitt at 7:40am. Been here about an hour and it apparently was down when we first entered but they got it up fairly quickly. Halfway through the outdoor covered queue. Posted 180 when we entered.

I've been in line for 45 minutes for Gringotts after a 45 minute wait to get into DA. The posted time was 240. I hope this is worth it.

Singles has been averaging about 25-30% of the standby wait. I wouldn't call 2 hours "quick" but it is better than 7! ;-)

What time have they been cutting the line for Gringotts? I will be there at 5 but I don't want to get in line without my friends who get off of work at 6.

I heard they cut the line at 7. Not 100% sure though.

It's been being cut by 7-7:30. I tried on the 9th and drove into the resort right as it was cut. Got there yesterday got in line at 5 and it was cut right around 7. Seems consistently around 7 but I guess you never know. I would be in line around 6 just to be safe.

Safe is just something you don't know. I think it may have been the first night, but I remember hearing the ride broke down at night after some people had waited 5+ hours and everyone got express passes for the following day. That's all well and good, except if you don't plan on going the next day, that's wasted time.

Yeah, anything could happen with this ride. A lot of patience is really necessary.

The Express Passes they gave out were good through the 16th

I guess my point is, if you're a local and not staying on site at a hotel on vacation, you need to go back to the park to ride the thing you may have went there to ride in the first place.

Well, if you're a local and you don't want to do that, you could wait until it's not the packed summer season. :lol:

Haha! Very true! I guess there are some people who can't wait until September or late August. If I was a local, I would probably be in that boat. :wave:

At what time are the employees arriving to open DA? Has the park been opening at 7am or even earlier?
