The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

[soyouthinkyouknow]

Felipe nothing major with the Hog Head its fine it should be back up in two shakes of a broom stick prob. even today (Tues. for those not on the East Coast)

It won't be back up until Friday or Saturday.

--- Update ---

I talked to the Bartender at The Hogs Head and he told me they took it down and are working to make it MORE DYNAMIC! I guess all the feedback on it got back to Uni! SO COOL that they are making changes like that

This is not true.

Great pics Disneyhead! And that guy should move out of the pic just for the fact he's wearing socks with sandals. I'm anxious to see what's behind the tarps.

Teebin, I have one question. On that "Bathe with Daniel" package, can I switch Daniel out for the Phelps twins?! If so, I will so be there 2 days before grand opening, waiting in line.

I've been out of the loop (and this thread) for a couple days. Have they done FJ softs EVERY day since last week? I will be going on Wednesday and want to know my chances of it being open.

If FJ doesn't break down during the hotel guests exclusive hour, they were letting the the public in at/around 9. However, if FJ does break down the chances for the public start to diminish quickly. That is the best answer I have for you.

FJ must be having problems or there are too many resort/package guests this morning.

^They stated the reason why it wasn't opening is because of an Influx of hotel guests. The same problem as Sunday.

Welcome back! People have indeed been on FJ. There is a reviews thread here: http://www.orlandounited.com/forums...-and-the-Forbidden-Journey-Reviews-*SPOILERS* and a POV video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8KHb2yIiuY&feature=channel

The common opinion is that it is amazing. Most people have not been disappointed.

There's this thread in OU specifically about FJ: http://www.orlandounited.com/forums...-and-the-Forbidden-Journey-Reviews-*SPOILERS*
A ride video is on youtube, but it's very dark and difficult to make out. There are photos of the ride vehicle though.

Glad I actually stayed home for once then and didn't waste my gas.

Yeah FJ the new HRRR indeed. Trying to have this thing run for more than a few hrs. will be a nightmare & to be honest I can't wait to watch it all happen on the 18th. Call me evil but I'm going to enjoy the madness of it all & just enjoy people watching that day.

As far as the Hog head could it of been back today of coarse because nothing is really wrong with it. But we all know by now how slow Universal Creative can be at getting things done so of coarse it will take them a few days to get around to it & they will do it on their time.

 

[Claire-Bear]

Hope we'll actually get to ride FJ on our days there after GO! Sounding a little dodgy? Has there been problems most days?

In some shape or form, yes. FJ has had some time of issue every day so far whether it's a few minute breakdown or shut down all day.

A little bit here and there. One day it will be an intermittent down time, and then the next day will be a major breakdown. Its day to day most of the time.

I don't think its the new HRRR cause the Mummy and more famously Test Track had continued down problems even after grand opening.

Anytime you have a new ride technology combined with the buzz surrounding it, it will have a few programming bugs that will take time to work out. But if over a 10 hour day it goes down for an hour or so of combined times and less and less as time goes on, thats not a bad thing at all.

I went this morning having had luck getting in last week. We arrived right at opening. there were yellow shirts every 25 ft or so from turnstiles to WWHP all saying "we will not be opening" there were at least 300 people waiting outside hogsmead they had a path clear to let hotel guest in and out. we waited a bit and it was clear nothing was going to happen. we went to the "temp" bridge. FOTH was running with full trains. and we went past the green house and you could see people moving through the que. so we went on JPRA got a sweet from the croissant moon bakery and went home!

 

[DisFreakBrent]

Vyrus I agree it will get more stable over time I'm just saying currently because it can't seem to last for more than 3 hrs. the first few months it has to run all day will be filled with huge lines, lots of down time, & very cranky tourists lol
