^There is supposedly no cell phone service inside the FJ queue

:spam:

 

[freediverdude]

One question for me does remain though- who did they let in among the people with different statuses and who they didn't. Was it ONLY package holders, or were all the on-site hotel guests let in, what rule did they use.

@attractions Just heard a British voice announce the Forbidden Journey ride has closed, please exit. [HASHTAG]#potterwatch[/HASHTAG]


Wow...

 

[Claire-Bear]

Noone has tweeted about DC yet; whether it was fully open with queue etc.

Hey, guys. I'm literally 5 feet away from the Room of Requirement... and FJ is broken! Darn...

nooooo!
this must be true though, various tweets about the ride being closed

"kcardin09 RT @attractions: Just heard a British voice announce the Forbidden Journey ride has closed, please exit. #potterwatch"
hopefully we will still get some good info for the spoiler thread!


not all hope is lost because it may re open at 12, like said in previous tweets, if there is a problem it may be sorted in this time!

From TheDIS "First impressions of WWoHP- not sure it lives up to hype "

That's a shame to hear, although perhaps it's because they only got a brief quick'quick'quick -type encounter?

From insidethemagic "Forbidden Journey is down. Didn't get to ride. Told whole area closes soon with no day guests coming in today."

 

[Vyrus]

Yea I saw the DIS post too, I just have a feeling that everyone doesn't appreciate it as much as we will.

Not to mention the DIS are mouse lovers too, everything Disney does is incredible to them.

Apparently the only people that were supposed to ride FJ today were Virgin Air employees. Universal didn't realize that some of the package guests starting getting in line as well until around 9:35am and stopped them from coming in after.

I wouldn't take too much stock in the DIS report. Some of these guys are "disney" folks that have an interest in talking it down.

 

[speckles]

Good grief, I would be not happy if I was a package person turned away while others were on it...was about to book one..the plot thickens...

 

[honeybee8200]

Well if they only wanted certain people to ride FJ, they should have scheduled them a certain time just to ride it after the package holders were gone.

 

[rhino4evr]

The two first impressions have been a little upsetting

comparing it to thE simpsons? Yikes

Would have hated to have been the poor TM who had to break that one to those package peeps in line.

So is hogsmede open or only package people let in?

I seriously doubt that since they could have easily checked. From the photos there were literally at least a couple of hundred people queueing for FJ alone. They would have known they were their package holders, they would have just stopped letting people ride from around that time to ensure the last cycle was done and dusted and people out of WWOHP by 10.

Oooh, that doesn't sound right to me. The package people have a right to be in there and reserved breakfasts at the restaurant and everything. Unless he's saying just the queue for the ride or something, like the package holders weren't supposed to be able to ride the ride even if they're inside the area? That doesn't make sense either.
