We were in Universal October 2014 so shortly after Escape from Gringotts opened. Off site guests at double tree across from US/IoA. Went straight to Gringotts and had 100 min que. Unfortunately, the ride had gone down multiple times during our wait then finally we bailed out just about 2 1/2 hours of waiting(to which it was closed right as we were walking out.) Returned July 2015 and ride with a manageable wait(cant recall how long.)
Based on that first attempt and it going down, I don't have much to compare it to as far as new rides and wait times. I am unsure of what we should plan for Hagrids. I expect a lengthy wait. I know no one can predict wait times but experiences based on past new openers would be appreciated.
I am staying at Endless Summer, no EP.
I am perfectly fine with a very early morning arrival one morning to get in line but should I get in line by 7 am? Can anyone provide past experience based on other new Wizarding world openers shortly after release.
We have buy 2 get 3 park to park so I plan to try a later evening before but if not, one early morning wont kill us.
And how early can I catch a shuttle from resort? I figured we could grab a quick breakfast and Extra LARGE coffee for me while waiting at park entrance.
