So you got in line at opening right? And if so how early did you line up at the gates of IOA?

Nice. Official app lists the wait at 180 minutes right now.

Unfortunately... here comes the rain...

Looks like a pretty gnarly line of storms is rolling in. Hopefully it passes quickly

I arrived at 820 they were already letting people in

I just got a notification on the Universal app that Hagrid's is now open.

I would never ever visit Florida in June/July/August. A wet hotbox.

This has been covered but basically they want "Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure" to be the main takeaway for marketing purposes and then within the Wizarding World itself they want the emphasis on "Hagrid's Magical Creatures " since that is more in line with what the in-universe location of the queue entrance and beyond is. I think it's a smart design choice.

Real talk, I'm not sure why they didn't just call it Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure

Don't forget the mosquito buffet.

Because they want it to be "in theme" with the land. This is supposed to be his "class" you are attending.

Yes. On the IOA ride times board it’s listed as “Hagrids Motorbike Adventure”.

Did it? I thought they alternate parks for early entry month by month?

I am not sure. I’m just basing it off of my last time there in August and what I saw in this thread stating no early admission. Can anyone confirm that’s whats going on now? Alternating months? What’s the thought process behind that?

 

[KengKun]

Do you think I should go today or is it going to be too much waiting with the weather and stuff?

The only times they open both parks for early admission is during the very peak expected crowd days. Rest of the time it's one park or the other, generally pretty evenly divided over the course of the year. HHN is usually USF early admission since the park closes early for HHN.
