Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 3

[Miketheboss]

The crowd doesn't look has bad has the 2010 opening. Weird.

 

[JungleSkip]

I have a feeling the lack of crowds

There is no lack of crowds.

Current standbye to get into the land starts at Mels, goes through Springfield, back through one of the HHN queues, through MIB's queue, and a queue set up through the Fear Factor area.

And to illustrate this:

 

[rhino4evr]

wow, looks like i spoke too soon. All time just to get inside, and wait another 5 hours for Gringrotts?

 

[Brian G.]

Universal was better prepared for it this go around.

And, as...crap I forget what his name is here...but I think it's 71Jason said, USF has a lot more room to hide people. IoA doesn't.

 

[kingcooger]

Any idea what the wait time just to get into the land is?

 

[JungleSkip]

Apparently 4-5 hours

 

[Frogki]

Ahhh, okay... Makes sense, just didn't look like much of anything. Should have known though, Potter causes craziness regardless...
That photo really drives it home, looks just like last time...

 

[Avvie Cunnington]

I'm in the UK so not sure what the time is over there, have they done the official opening yet?

 

[Obi Ubamba]

What's the wait time for HE?

 

[Brian G.]

Yes, at 8am this morning.

 

[JungleSkip]

What's the wait time for HE?

45 minutes right now. Everyone's in line for the land.

 

[UNIrd]

350 minutes for Gringotts. Just wow.

 

[adjjb]

3 hours to get into Diagon right now and almost 6 hours for Gringotts is probably backing up the line for the land and making the HE line short.

 

[Avvie Cunnington]

Yes, at 8am this morning.

8am? :yikes: wow! Was it as good as Hogsmeade opening? Anyone know if there's a video of the official opening available yet? Can't find one on YT :embarassed:

 

[DK745]

can't believe there are people out there that want to see a line going out of the park to justify its popularity..

I don't know why anyone would want to wait that long just to get into the land then wait a long time again for Escape from Gringotts but hey it's nice to see Universal manage a large crowd better this time around.

It was a very short speech from resort president Bill Davis and some fireworks. Nothing to write home about

 

[adjjb]

I don't think Universal had anywhere else to put the crowd last time go round with the placement of Hogsmeade in IOA. A lot easier to make the queue with the placement of London in Universal Studios.

 

[rhino4evr]

the thing is, is that most the people that are already inside DA, have little to nothing requesting them to leave. They could all literally stay in there all day. Meaning the folks that are outside waiting to get in will probably be waiting a very long time.
