Can't blame Intamin entirely for trying to do something that's never been done before... I'm sure every other manufacturer wouldn't attempt at tackling this.
Some of the replies to that are brutal. :surprised:
Umm the ride opens with typical crowds lol, where have you been?I hate to play the "bias" card, but I would imagine a LOT of you would be crapping all over Disney if something similar happened with their new ride.
People that have been planning their vacations around this should be upset that the ride won't be open for full day for the foreseeable future.
I hope UOR can get this ride operating on a regular basis soon. Really stinks for those hoping to ride in the morning before the typical crowds show up.

As much as I like to tease some of the members on here about bias, holy crap are those Disney folks lunatics.
Theme park wars are dumb! There is no reason to "defend" either. Let both parks be judged equally for their mistakes and achievements!!
Intamin will never install a ride control system in Orlando again.
It seems quite strange. They have a set of LSMs down there too, so unless those aren't strong enough to push the train back up to the flat section (which I highly doubt), it sounds like nonsenseNot sure about that? They could easily roll up a platform next to it. It's not that off the ground.
People's fandom is threatened by this ride...They did the same thing when Diagon, Hogsmede, etc openedSome of the replies to that are brutal. :surprised:
I look at this new development as Universal pretty much admitting publicly that they opened this thing up too early.

Funny enough a few months ago we were complaining about no opening date being announced. Universal had a rare moment of announcing an opening date early. I'm sure this hassle will now revert them back to announcing opening dates closer.
The flip side is if they decided to move the date because it wasn't ready - those same people would be complaining because their vacation was ruined. It just seemed to be the perfect storm of issues, with the recent hiccup, to more demand than anticipated, recent weather, etc. The best they could've done was to offer more communication. However, it seems everyone who was in attendance has a different story of how the opening week has been handled. Some were happy with the communication, some were not. I'd argue it's not really an Ops issue, either - but a #Intamin one. Universal employees, especially the Hagrid TM's are doing the best they can with what they were given. Either way, it seems Universal has figured the best way to handle it going forward. Hopefully that helps any issues get sorted.
Yup!! Funny how that works...
Don't be surprised if we don't get opening dates this far ahead again.
My favorite ones are the ones bitching about losing their (non-existent) early admission by staying at a Universal hotel. Hello? Did you research? All of IOA has been blacked out for May and June for months. LOLSome of the replies to that are brutal. :surprised:
I’m sure 3 or 4 years from now Universal will come out with a press release like “By the way, we are coming out with a new theme park next week. Hope you enjoy it!”Funny enough a few months ago we were complaining about no opening date being announced. Universal had a rare moment of announcing an opening date early.
