This adds nothing to the discussion, but I have to say... as someone that hasn't been in a few years with a pass I need to activate, I cannot wait to ride this and Hagrid's later this year. Carry on, and glad everyone seems to be enjoying it

just booked a weekend on June18th. Very excited to ride this.
We still don’t know how the grand opening is gonna go, right? No word on will it be virtual, a 6 hour stand-by line, or what?

We were lucky enough to ride VC two times in our visit last week. This is a big deal because we don't live near Florida and its a huge investment to get to Universal (or Disney). Its an every 3-4 year journey. The fact that my family was all able to ride it more than once during softs was great and we didn't take it for granted.
Kudos to Ops and the Staff for pulling this off. Its an amazing experience. We were crushed when we learned it would open June 10, after we got back home. Super grateful we were able to ride. Last thing - I love the energy and enthusiasm when the train comes back to the station. People are cheering and high fiving, people in line are cheering and high fiving, its really cool. The ride is that good. Must be cool and rewarding for the engineers and designers to see the happy faces and how much happiness this ride brings to riders.
Other Last thing. Each time we rode, it had a 60 minute wait time. First time we were boarding after 25 minutes (we skipped the lockers because someone held our stuff). The second time it took around 45 minutes to ride. So its either inflated wait times, really good Ops, or both.
Bottom line, Great Job to Universal on such a fantastic ride.

Why would it be 8 hours? Hasn’t it been open for a month now? Correct me if I’m wrong but hagrids didn’t have any soft opening. Maybe busy but not hagrids crazy. Am I off in this line of thinking?

My guess is lines will be longer but not by a crazy amount. Probably most people will be there for the ceremony. Universal says the parking garage will open at 7am.
Looks like the spotlights have been turned on (Hulk on left, Velocicoaster on right)

Need some opinions!
We are headed to the parks on the 10th and are staying on site, not for VC (previously scheduled trip, too many variables to reschedule), but would like to go to Hogsmeade that day.
Better to go into IOA and got through Seuss, or go to USF and take HE over?
I realize it will be busy, we just dont want to eat up a ton of time getting trapped in lines for a ride we are NOT trying to ride that day.
* VC is awesome no question, we've ridden several times throughout Softs and love it, will probably try to ride over the weekend but want to steer clear of the hoopla on Thurs.

HE has had some pretty long lines for a good while. So, you probably need to put that into your time equation.
