Looks exciting. We will be there on 6/23 - since express is not available I am not sure if I will get to ride it this time. Possible I guess if we do early admission and if it is available for that. I haven't checked to see if Islands is listed for Early admission on the days that we are there. I honestly don't know if I will spend hours waiting on line since this is only a 4 day trip. Seriously looking forward to this ride however. Didn't realize you planned a trip in June as well...how exciting...I hope you can ride it and report back to all of us Just a short one - we usually do a trip for Rob's birthday - this time a little later to celebrate both of our birthdays. I wanted a 50th birthday trip so we made it a little early! I definitely hope to report back! |

Beachesnsunsets I think it's going to be awkward just sitting on it--not sure that I am brave enough to attempt it. I have to see someone on it. Upright on that going backwards with the speeds, I'm not that gutsy.  There's nothing around you, sitting upright may not help that situation, lol. Hoping we can all get on it in a few weeks, hopefully Cathleen or ChuckPlagmann will have a review for us first. If the size restriction is accurate, DH may not be able to ride. For Pete's sake, if you are advertising a Hagrid ride with a giant man on it, bigger dudes should be allowed to ride! Agreed. I think your whole family should get to ride. I read a TM review who felt the seats were comfortable. Hope we find out more tonight.  |

There is no share option on it and I've been trying to make it into a gif but no luck there either.... it's under the other place group and he's got that locked up tighter than a chastity belt. |

This is a little dark....but the motorbike seat is as I expected. Must see it in action now. May very well be a pass for me.

That's a helpful video Me2Old4This2, I'll show DH. Not sure on the bike for me but I am wondering if M will take it. DH might. Looks like there's a bit more back support than I expected so that's good. I like the "approval" lights. |

Theme Park InsiderRobert has some details about the queue and ride but they are spoilery, so proceed with caution.

It went down to 300 minutes but currently on a weather delay. Sounds like this is the go to ride in Universal, let alone Orlando!

This guy has a nice video showing what went on this morning, not overly long....looks like they have fans and water stations so that's good.
Mental Note: use single rider line!

Was going to link it, but spoilers... We're beyond that, lol. Can always skip it if someone doesn't want to see it. Was it The Potter Collector? Just found his when looking for a Universal video. I stopped at :17 in, not sure if I want to watch the whole thing, lol. How'd he get away with that, thought everything had to be in your pockets/locked up? |
