General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

[sjago13]

The people still standing in line outside the actual queue, were dumped around 8pm. I was in the spot just before the archway when they dispersed us. They gave us all a card for guest services. Told us we could stop by and ask about compensation on the way out. Waited about 4 hours.

Did you end up getting ticket refunds or rain check passes for another day?

We skipped waiting in the Guest Services line, but they would have given us an express slip for another attraction. That's about all they could do for an AP holder is what we were told.

No joke, this is a “shut up and take my money ride” it will be very hard to keep me out of IoA this summer (Hogsmeade :flex Those yet to experience... I did not see any upset faces, even before the 10.5 hours we waited. 3 hours would be what I’d cut off for the the future. but opening month will be tough. Just stick it out, it’s outstanding.

And just like that, Diagon Alley became the b+ player.

“Let’s skip Gringots we just rode the mummy and the Hogwarts Express is right there.”

Meh, just needs a li’l some’n’some’n extra. Hogsmeade has Diagon outnumber 3-to-1.

Ok..... 2(+flight of the hippogriff)-to-1 :grin:

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

The fact that fuggin Diagon ALLEY is considered second best says a lot about how good of a 1-2 punch Forbidden and Hagrid is. Best theme park land on earth? I’d say so...

Hold up, it appears there's still people there now about to go on the ride :faint:



EDIT: Yes, indeed. At this hour, people are still in line about to ride. Props to TMs still going at this hour getting as many guests through the ride!

Backwards stuff was great from the back too!

Yes we sat in the back and it was amazing. Especially seen the Cornish Pixies at the door and steering wheel. This was a win for UC and everyone. It passed my high notch of a coaster, plus the drop is much better than Verbolten, you can tell when Verbolten is gonna drop, but not on here. I must say too the last launch is amazing, and glad I sat in the sidecar got to see more of the show scenes.
But overall this is gonna be a great experience for guest. If they can do this for just one ride, imagine what they may have up their sleeves for FW.
Oh did anyone find all the pixies I found like 9, but I was to excited looking at everything and excited for the ride. A+++++ for me and my hubby, can't wait to ride it again, and for my friends coming down from DC in 2 weeks.

Really? I think verbolten hides there drop pretty well, hagrids does say when your gonna drop XD

For those who are so inclined, after hours events are a sweet time to enjoy the parks with much lesser waits. I've wanted to attend OI Meet-Ups before and haven't been able to make it work, but I think I might be attending my first one this December.




Also, in case you're still following along:



Mad respect to these UOTMs!

 

[tjjwelch]

Indeed, and no one seems to care that it originally was supposed to be fully enclosed

As someone who avoided literally all spoilers about this project before riding today, what all did I miss in terms of project changes? Can someone give a super basic rundown that doesn’t involve me reading through the entirety of the original thread (at least not until later this week) of what all changed with this project? The original plan was to have it all in a show building?

One of my brother’s friends said they waited 14 hours. Like I said way early on in the thread, I’m sure the ride is great, I have no doubts on that. But in no world is any ride worth that type of a wait no matter how good it is.

 

[snayberry]

14 hours, RIP.

I have so many things I could do in 14 hours...

I still have no clue how they ate or did bathroom breaks.

There were bathroom passes and port-a-potties in some areas from what I understand. I assume many snack carts were set up along the queue as well.

 

[Ryan]

I was hoping somebody would've replied "it's just a line, you should really just relax."

Depends.

Depends.
