Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

And just to be super clear, is this one round trip or one direction?

You get priority for a one way trip. After that, you can wait in line for the other trip, but you do not have priority.

I know the word standby is throwing people off because they are thinking of the standard express and standby lines. Don't think of it that way, HE has no express.

Right, I don't mean to be confusing, but it's the best way I can explain it without knowing the specifics on how it will work.:thumbs:

Last night was more crowded then the other nights, and important thing is may only be 600 people but they have a very limited time frame to be there an the ice cream is free. So they all get in line for ice cream around the same time. (They're all excited for the butterbeer soft serve too)



Not true



For mock service everyone gets one free, but they can sample the other flavors. For TM previews it will be at a discounted rate.



No. When was this taken? If it was taken later in the day one of the last few days it's Mock Service. If it was taken earlier in the day last few days or today it's a promo shoot.

It was taken 1 hour ago.

So what do we realistically think the "standy line" would be increased by? Are we looking at something as drastic as 90 minutes to 270?

I'll put it this way: No way I'm waiting in the "standbye" line during peak season.

Ugh. I understand that the thing has capacity issues, but the experience is a round trip. I'd totally support one round trip a day, but this is kinda lame.

I know, I know everyone. "Well then don't go during peak season!" Well it isn't always that easy.

I think this is probably the best way to do it. The way I look at it is, hit London->Hogwarts first thing in the morning, then go straight back. My guess is less people will be going Hogsmeade->London early on

 

[Matpez]

Testing going on!!! Softs??!

No. Not TM previews either. Lots of folks in many internal departments need to start seeing this stuff before it opens. This will be happening pretty consistently now. Then there probably will be TM previews. After that is when the possibility, based solely on past precedence, that any "soft" openings may occur.

I saw on Twitter some of theUni PR people are on HE now. Consider me extremely jealous

Ah... Time is winding down fast. Exciting things ahead. Can't wait to hear from the first riders of gringotts.

People have already been, but not TMs from my understanding.

"It fixes all the negatives I felt about Forbidden Journey" is what one person told me.

 

[TheLastAshen]

Are those TM's going in to test it ?

I reposted this photo from twitter, it was taken last night (Tuesday evening around 7pm) Mock service.

Cool! May I ask what other comments you've heard about the Gringott's ride?

That was the most indepth my friends could go. They agreed it blew them away and was a top flight attraction.

So what will be the details on express pass and early park entry for on site guests?

No Express Pass, other than knowing there will be early entry, we don't know whether everyone will get both parks every day or not

 

[BamaToTheBone]

I meant across the board, not just Hogwarts Express.. Will there be express on Gringott's?
