Here now, what’s the best way to get on Hagrids?

[mydogbaloo]

We are in IOA today (staying in a villa off site) but staying RPR Monday night for FOLP for 2 days.
Can someone let me know the easiest way to do Hagrids, what’s your advice ?
TIA

Yes wait until galaxys edge opens, either that or wait approx 3hrs. Timtracker says dont do single riders it takes the same length of time.

We got on it on Wednesday, kept an eye on it opening for 'midday', the Universal App will change to open then got in the queue when it showed 120min wait. Between it having technical issues then lightning outside it took almost 4hrs to get on it. Great ride though

You need a lot of luck. FOLP will not be of any help at all

Queues start building when the park opens (9am) despite the ride not actually opening until 12pm. If there is a thunderstorm then they close the ride. A couple of hours before the park closes they will close the Q as the ride will be at capacity. The ride may break down due to technical issues...

We queued for it at 5pm on the 27/6 - the queue time said 3 hours but we got on it after 75 minutes. The good news = the queuing area is nice to look at (apart from the caves near the end)

My advice - take a phone with internet access, something to drink and shorts with zip up pockets. Catch up on your favourite internet sites whilst in your Q and it makes it more bearable.

The ride is excellent if that helps

everyday is different - never a consistent time for opening as they are having so many problems with it.
they do give bathroom breaks when in line though

It's been opening at park opening for a few days now.

We joined line last week at 7.53pm, said it was 150 mins but we were off in an hour.
We went again on Friday and joined the line at park opening. We were about 30 from the front. We arrived at the park about 7.40am. We got on the ride at 9.40am after it had a delay at opening.

We waited 5 1/2 hours OMG!
Not intentional, waited a couple of hours, which was bad enough, then came a storm, then technical difficulties
Trouble is once you've waited a couple of hours where to draw the line and leave - there's always the thought that it will get going again. Anyway got there in the end, its a good ride but crazy wait times for the forseable I fear.

If the park doesn’t open until 8am how is there such a massive queue already - I don’t get it?

The park opened at 9am. They started letting us in about 8.30am and we were held in Seuss Landing until 8.55am.
