15 Hour Queue to Ride Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure
Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure ride opened yesterday and one of our DIBB members was in the line for nearly 15 hours before getting to ride this magical new attraction at Universal's Islands of Adventure in Orlando.
Unlike the Dragon's Challenge, which the new ride replaced, the motorbike adventure is slower paced and has riders mounting a train of motorcycles with side cars. 15 minutes after park opening Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure was showing a 10 hour wait. DIBB member going by the name 'Rachhh', joined the queue at what was reported to be an 8 hour wait, reporting through the day that she was still in the queue, making friends and having fun! Getting close to the entrance, the ride had some technical difficulties which extended the wait. She eventually got to ride (twice) after waiting nearly 15 hours in line... WOW! Follow Rachhh's epic queue from page 7 on this thread https://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/sho...1132115&page=7

If this had a 15 hour queue just how bad will Galaxy's Edge area and Smugglers run be!

Disney: FOP had queues up to 6 hours long
Universal: Hold my beer... Oh. My. God. The world really has gone crazy. Waiting all day just for one ride?!? As mentioned above, I couldn't physically stand in a queue for 15 hours and, personally, I wouldn't choose to join a queue longer than a tenth of that time. No ride is worth that long a wait. Still, hat's off to Rachhh. They certainly were determined and committed. It does make me think that I've woefully underestimated what the queues at Galaxy's Edge will be like once it opens at WDW without a reservation system in place.

I'm still struggling to understand why they have chosen to open at WDW without any kind of reservation system. Disneyland seems to have been well managed but I can see Hollywoods Studios being horrendous in the opening days and weeks.

Excited about Disney
|
We had Guest Assitance Pass and were given a 4pm ride slot at 8.15am.
We managed to ride and make our flight home (only just). The ride is wonderful and I cant wait to ride it again the next time we are in Orlando |

Getting Excited

No thanks! 15 hours for a ride? I know there's the element of it being new and on opening but i've seen footage of the ride and I consider myself a Harry Potter fan, this seems a bit meh to me, a lot of roller coaster track with a few bits of theming scattered along the ride with some hagrid audio piped in. Might be better in real life, we'll see. For those who have done it, what are the seat sizes like? One of my issues with rides at universal is I find it difficult to ride most of them, last time I went (pre diagon alley) I couldn't get on forbidden journey so not holding out much hope.
