Easily a top five ride for my entire family. Got to ride the bike seat in the front row. Very smooth, theming was excellent including the queue line. Worth spamming my phone for virtual queue for two days. My six year old son wanted to ride again the instant it was over.
 
Hagrids pre-show hasn’t played for almost a year from now. It got replaced with a dog just walking back and forth curiously. Been that way for awhile unfortunately.

Hagrid’s is down for the whole day today; curious if this is the beginning of an extended closure? Anyone with inside information that would be able to give us an idea?

They went through the process of building a new train storage/maintenance facility, which lets them open with more trains rather than adding more online through the day due to the slow PM processes:

Finally got around to riding this. I really knew nothing about what to expect other than a few minor set details. I was so impressed. This was such a fun and punchy ride! The best part was I got my friend who isn't a big coaster guy to ride and he went on again, and put his hands up on the second launch! (For him that is monumental!!) I got two rides in, both front row. All of the thematic elements are fantastic along with the animatronics!

My favorite thing definitely was the launches, so so punchy. I loved the drop too, that was wicked. It felt a little smoother then Verbolten's. It's the only other coaster I've ridden that has a drop track. My friend said his favorite part was going backwards, he kept cackling while it happened. Super excited to get back on this long, wicked fun coaster!

Good riddance. The standby lines were ridiculous, especially in the mornings and after 4 when the premier passholders arrived. Last time I was there, I waited almost an hour in Express. I couldn't imagine how long the regular standby was.

The lines were super long before it was added to Express, but the queue moved at least. Never waited more than 90 mins for it on any of my visits.
