General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

[Wes]

Whoever's in front...are they queuing outside the actual line or has it gone in yet?

 

[Spaulding]

Crazy how things change! I was at MiB back in 2000 for opening day (purely by coincidence) and we queued for 90 minutes to get on.

I guess social media has made it easier for people to be aware of openings ahead of time.

Still filming stuff. No entry I don’t believe

The line is back behind the Mystic Fountain.

Comparing MIB to Potter fandom is kind of silly.

I don’t believe any of the recent rides, including Kong had turn out like this. Did anyone even show up for Fast and Furious? Lol

Will be interesting to compare the Galaxy Edge Orlando crowds vs the Hagrid crowds.

Officially open and guests have entered!

I think the real last time something like this happened, was Diagon for you guys.

Still, it's so fascinating to see that they didn't prepare the ticketing system for the sake of the land itself. I would think they could've planned for that to be completely honest.

Officially open and guests have entered!

Congratulations to everyone in UCOrlando! This ride seems already that it's going to be a blast, as I can't wait for everyone's responses.

??? Where did I say I was comparing fandoms. Just pointing out the difference in the number of people showing up for opening day compared to 19 years ago, the last time I personally experienced an opening.

Very few select people entered. They’re clearing crates for the real crowds still.

Watching the Today Show.....they're going live to the opening in a few moments.

Someone didn't give Universal Orlando Twitter the memo then,

This would be a good day to keep IOA open until Midnight.

Not to be a smart ass...but “difference” and “comparing” are the same thing. My point was social media may help, but Potter fandom is what’s really bringing out the crowds in mass.

Have fun! :toast:

They did the cool crate levitation thing again:



PS: if you wanna see what's going on at the very front of the line, follow Meg. She's actually in the very first group in the very front of the entire crowd.

Yes they are letting us in the real queue now SQUEEL. So excited last Grand Opening I was at was for Maverick at CP when I worked there. So excited.

Assuming everyone here is already following @Alicia but here's a look at bypass line for guests going into just Hogsmeade (no Hagrid #HagRide)
