None of the reviews seem to mention ride capacity or number of trains running. With all the “Journalists” around yesterday someone should have thought to ask about the 12 train operations and massive PPH throughput. My guess is still 4 - 6 trains max and Universal is downplaying high capacity due to loading complexity and realistic slower ops than optimal.
Click to expand...

Neither previews nor the first few days/weeks/months are going to see this ride operating at full capacity, especially after technical rehearsals were scarce. I've personally heard that, optimally, 14 trains can be on at the same time, but I agree that's never going to happen because it's not a bunch of robots riding and operating this coaster; we're unpredictable, fallible humans so it's unlikely it'll ever run at its optimal capacity. Still, with time, it's VERY likely that more and more RVs will be added as ops improve with time and experience.

If it makes you happy to say you were right based on day-1 ops, have at it. But also be prepared to eat crow in a few months if they're running twice the numbers you keep harping on about.

I’ll be riding in September and gladly eat crow if it means I don’t have to wait hours to ride it.

Over, under 8 hour long line tomorrow. When people ask what I think, 8 hours is my guess by afternoon.
Click to expand...

I'll go under, and place it at around 5-6 hours.

Still crazy long, enough to go as far as Seuss Landing, but I don't see it going to 8. I do see if need be, that they extend park hours to accommodate everyone as possible.

@MichaelSheehyJr tweeted the link to one. Recording the ride was forbidden during the media preview yesterday, so any POVs posted here will be deleted by mods to comply with Universal's rules.

Eight hours seems ridiculously long. What's the record for longest wait times?

Diagon when it opened was five hours on opening if I recall (as it went backstage, behind the likes of FFL, MIB, and passed by the facade that was for Halloween @ HHN24. And keep in mind, that didn't include Gringotts.

Something I heard yesterday from a TM claiming to be a manager: Reason for no softs was they handed the ride over to the techs, who were retooling to run 9 trains today. I never saw more than three go at a time, so that should be taken with a BOULDER of salt.

I’ve walked from Sapphire Falls headed to the Margaritaville entrance and security has stopped us at Royal Pacific and won’t let us pass and they are telling us to get off of property. Nobody knows what is going on

Edit: after some discussions, everyone gave up and they let us pass. NOBODY knows what is going on today

It’s been a total mess at the Margaritaville garage. We’ve been threatened to be kicked off property, been told we can go forward until 5:30, then 5 and then 5:30, but we can now line up here at 5:10. I don’t mean to pile on, but there is absolutely zero organization
