We got two rides in on Hagrid's early on our vacation. So , done early in the vacation, they were the only two long lines we had to deal with. Generally, except for the very best of attractions, I
won't stand in any line for over 30 minutes. Each Hagrid's wait was apx. 45 minutes, both on days with low to medium park crowds.....And, we got lucky on the settings. First ride was in the
afternoon with a light rain falling. I've always considered a ride on a coaster, in the rain, as one of the best coaster experiences. Then, the second ride, on another day, was the coup de grace.
Namely, Hagrids in the dark, something I wasn't able to do on previous visits. And yes, as many have said, it is a superior experience :thumbsup: . If schedules, and line times permit, it's a must do.
