We've here now. Queue time said 90 minutes at 10.15am, we got in the queue and it took exactly one hour. I'm now waiting for my family to come off as I can't do the ride.

Eesh. The alarm went off just now at 5.45 so we can be out the door at 0630 for early park hours.

Only on a Florida holiday is this normal behaviour for getting on new ride.

I'm sure many people will already be queuing when we get there , I could hear room alarms going off around us. But at least we will be queuing in early sunshine rather than full on heat.

We must be mad. I hope it's worth it

We were there for. 0700 . The ride didn't open till 0800 , they advise you of this on the bridge by Hogwarts so lots of people turned away ( error IMO) . We stayed and queued while the kids rode Forbidden Journey. We had maybe 50 people ahead of us. You queue through Jurassic Park and they moved us along every 5 minutes or so to stop Harry Potter World getting clogged up. By the time they walked us to the ride at 0745 there were hundreds behind us. We exited the ride at 0810. The wait time was by then already 120 minutes.
It's one massive queuing area .

Yes the ride is good.

But not worth a two hour wait in the heat.

No express pass so if you are on site ... Hit this early !

Went on this two days ago (25th Aug). Great ride!

Express pass is now available by the way. Think it took us around 20 mins to get on. The queue is quite good fun too.

We all went on this ( 6 of us) on our recent trip. Queued for about 40 minutes but were lucky to get inside before a 45 minute deluge sent many more people into the queue. We were all impresed with the theming and the ride although as the action takes place on both sides of the vehicle you inevitably miss some of the action. It was perhaps too slavish to the most recent film version - so the bug factor was a little overplayed. The CGI in having the vehicle as part of the action was superbly done however and left us wanting to re-ride - although the rain had made the wait too long to indulge ourselves,

rode this several times, Loved it. so much to take in on one ride.

on one ride the screens went blank so they sent us straight through again.

also if there is a storm risk, the first part of the ride (outside) is skipped, so you wont get the full effect of entering through the big gates.

We rode this last week. It was showing 105 minute wait at 9:20 😳😱😳😱

We used our express passes and we were off 30 mins later. It was okay. We weren't blown away and we've not rode it since.
