The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

^ Very true. Whenever it is busy and there is a line for lockers, go into Filch's and access the lockers from that side, then join the queue.

I've been doing that since day one haha.

This is still leftover holiday crowds, everything should die down big time by next week.

Next weekend will be busy. Monday is MLK Day so schools are out which means three day weekend.

You have so many holiday weekends in the States

Yes you may have more local traffic, but not many people use MLK to take out of town trips.

Ten points from Slytherin.

I just find it humorous how easy it is to beat the system in this scenario.

Totally it's so easy to do what you did I went in august peak time and rode single rider and a group of three in front of me just snuck out from the front of the single rider line as if they had been sent from the normal line it was quite funny! They were so busy that staff were just oblivious!

There comes a time when we must make a choice between what is right, and what is easy.

I bow to you! I personally am far to much of a whimp to do such a thing!

So I went to IOA yesterday.

And I feel naughty... (I'll explain... and some of you may potentially have already done this)

Alright. So it was !@#$^#^ crowded. I was expecting this. But still. There wasn't even enough room to breathe in Hogsmeade. But it was my sister's first time at The Wizarding World so Forbidden Journey was a must.

So... uhh... I basically went in through the gift shop to skip the massive line outside the castle. Then, we went through the single riders line. You know how the line occasionally gets backed up because people wanna take pictures? Well, no one was coming, so we hopped back over into the regular queue and only waited about 3 minutes.

WIN

If I would have seen it, I probably would have called you out on it, letting the grouper know that I saw you duck under and into the regular line. The person most likely would have just sent you to the exit. But really, what makes you better than everyone else? You think you're special because you're better than the rules? Seriously, what's your answer? Why ARE you better than everyone else? You do know that you have karma coming at you, right? Did you maybe, fall down all of a sudden, or get in a small fender bender? Maybe get in a fight with a friend? Not yet? Oh, then it'll come.

 

[Splatter]

Really only jaded the first timer out of a good full experience.

Besides that, the irony there is one would miss Dumbledore's line I paraphrased above. Instead of choosing what was right, they chose what was easy.

Someone needs to calm down a little. 90% of all people who saw that opportunity would have done the same thing she did. That doesn't mean they all "think they're special because they're better than the rules"

 

[Eckert]

I personally dont' see anything wrong with skipping the line in front of Hogwarts. It's unnecessarily long. Now exploiting the system/sneaking around is a bit of a dick move, but by no means are you scum of the earth.

Nobody goes to a theme park to be a bad guy, and no guest should play lawman just cause they see someone taking advantage.

Just because 90% do it, doesn't make it right.

As far as skipping the line, I don't recommend it. If you cut me, you better believe you're not getting away with it. However, it's not my responsibility to police the line, if it doesn't affect me.

With that, I would recommend not cutting in the future, and definitely don't post it on here because you are going to get a lot of mixed feelings for your actions.

Now before anymore feathers are ruffled, let's move on.

 

[Mitchiez]

let's move on.

Pear cider is delicious. :stunned:

 

[Disneyhead]

So I am failing to see the great benefit of taking the single rider line up to the Griffendor Common Room and then ducking under into the regular line. Other than being able to ride together. They still missed The Dungeons, the Portrait Gallery, Dumbledore's Office, and The Dark Arts Class Room.

 

[TSSD]

I'm not saying it's right, It's 100% wrong. My point was that saying that they "think they're special because they're better than the rules" and karma will make them get in a car accident, fight with a friend, etc. was a little bit of an overreaction. That said, I agree we should move on.

 

[damond.themeparks]

I personally loved the ride, I hope universal keeps making new rides because that's what theme parks are all about...no more stupid shows please....

 

[Vyrus]

Its wrong. Period. Yes it is, but honestly, once you hit the line at the Common Room, the line is nonstop and doesn't stop moving at all, so the effect on someone in the regular line is a 5 second delay getting on the ride. But cutting you off in the regular queue at the beginning or in the greenhouse deserves to be pretrified.

Alright guys chill out. They skipped the line and missed out on some pretty cool stuff there lose. I have seen people that have definitely done worse things at theme parks. Let's just move on people it's just a person who skipped the line it's not like they robbed hundreds of families of their money or killed someone.

Haha I agree I wouldn't do it but I only visit in peak summer times and I'm wasn't over ally desperate to ride it with my family because we had ridden it the week before together after waiting in line. It's kind of funny but I do really hate people who walk through the whole of a line going my families at the front with ther walkie talkies and stuff haha
