Are you saying you have a single park per day ticket and would try to switch your reservation if an ILL$ you like was available?
I don't know that this has been reported by anyone with a single park per day ticket. If you have park hoppers, you can definitely do this. I know the system checks for your park reservation and if you're not selecting your reserved park it sets the time to after 2pm. I would assume that it would also verify you have hoppers before allowing you to select outside of your park reservation, so most likely, if you have the single park per day ticket, it will not work.
No virtual lines. But the Velocicoaster line is generally pretty reasonable throughout the day.
We have a trip in 2 weeks and this has been one of our questions. Which line to wait in first.Do Hagrids first, then Velocicoaster
We have a trip in 2 weeks and this has been one of our questions. Which line to wait in first.
Sadly, neither is Express pass.
We did EE last Wed. We went to Hagrids first and then Velocicoaster. We were finished with both rides by 9:10am with a 8am opening. To do both with a reasonable wait, you'll need to be near the front of the line at park opening.
We also rode it Tue night around 7:15ish. Posted wait was 55 minutes. We waited around 75-80 minutes (ride went down about 20 minutes while we were in line).
We just got back and found the above info to be true also. If you're not in the front for Hagrid's the wait time could be higher than if you did it later at a less busy time. We did the early entry Hagrid/Velocicoaster thing one morning then skipped early entry the next day. Didn't seem worth it to have to get up so early, wait in line for so long to be at the front of the pack when we could just wait in line later on after sleeping in. This was a busy spring break time so may not be true at other times of the year thoughWe just left, and we found hagrid's early entry rose to about 120 minutes very quickly, so I wouldn't try it unless you are near the front of the crowd. We scanned in at 8:07 for 8am early entry and went straight to velocicoaster, waiting about 25 minutes. We rode hagrid's 4 times in 3 days, always afternoon and evening with 60-90 minute posted wait.
