aside from ripsaw falls, it seems either the park is dead or everyone is at wwohp where the wait times aren't posted

According to @BanksLee, who is still out there, he just got confirmation that it will be staying open all day today! Have fun!

So excited! I'll finally be able to take my family down there! My grandma is a HUGE Harry Potter fan. I can't wait to tell her when she gets home!

Yes, it is open all day today. The lines while I was there ranged from 60-90 minutes but I was told that it was really only 30 minutes.

And to clear something up, I read a tweet on here about security threatening guests with a fire hazard ticket if we didn't leave. I did not hear them ever state that once. Either, it was directed at a single person quietly or it never really happened. Security was actually pretty kind other than the fact that they continued to tell us that it wouldn't open today.

Yeah i just looked at the website surprised at the Ripsaw falls wait! even p flyers is only 30 mins!

FJ 45min posted wait, probly less than that.

I took a break and walked the park from 11:30 to noon. I got to Dueling Dragons at noon and they were moving the walls and told guests that WWoHP is just now opening, perfect timing!

So they had the walls up so people could ride dueling dragons and then took them back down when it opened? Interesting, most people said if the walls went up, no way softs were coming later.

Sorry about that, the walls did not go back up but they were opening up the regular DD entrance for us to get into the WWoHP. For a decent period of time before softs, they were testing DD with no one on it. Not quite sure why. :shrug:

Those wait times are very similar to the last couple days. Which tells me the park is slightly more busy than the last couple days since those wait times do not include the massive crowds in WWOHP

Is p flyers good ?? I have never even seen it.

I wouldn't know

I went one time when no one was there and they wouldn't let me on it

It's OK for what it's worth but it always holds a long line. They usually only allow children on it anyways.

I know, they never let me on because I'm not a kid or someone with a kid. >.<

 

[BBPH]

Ermm i actually quite like it, its a decent height and the swingings pretty cool but its not worth the long waits it usually has.

 

[Tbad556]

One more thing I forgot to mention, TWWoHP directional signs have been added throughout the park. I noticed them in both Seuss Landing and Lost Continent but didn't check the other islands.

For those who are confused, I mean the signs similar to these: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t80h579_h...nNCwl1WKo/s400/oasis-directional-sign-001.jpg

Except these signs said "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" and had the logo next to it.

Me either...I didn't have much of a desire to ride it, but my brother (14) wanted to...we got to the line and they wouldn't let us on...I was BARELY over the height maximum for the youngins too. Just two inches over...So I ALMOST could have passed for a child if weight and age weren't factors haha

Sounds like Forbidden Journey has broken/shut down again but softs are still occuring. That was as of 45 minutes ago and I haven't heard anything else since.
