Curious - what does everyone think of how Universal handled the wait times for Hagrids vs how Disney handled the wait times for other big new rides like FOP or SWGE in DLR?
I must say, there is a bit of a crazy buzz around seeing 10hr lines for a new ride. Even my local news commented on it. Wonder if the comparatively shorter lines at Disney make the rides seem less desirable?
From what I can see, Disney generally never allowed FOP's line to pass 4 or 5 hours. Back at opening, they had 1-2hr waits to even enter the land itself to prevent the queue from growing too long. Then the added a ton of extended hours for quite some time to manage lines. And now in SWGE, they had reservations in DLR and will have a ton of EEMH in WDW.
On the flip side, Universal seems to love the insanely long lines their new rides generate.
I know - a little harder to compare 1 new ride vs opening lands with 2 new rides. Maybe a better comparison is Frozen Ever After's 5 hr lineup on opening day?
What do you prefer and why?
