Beckers 1,136 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I just read the wait to get into diagonal alley is 2 hours.So, if I'm understanding it, that's just to get into the section? Then your have the wait for the rides?http://instagram.com/p/qMost4EiQF/Reride line?http://instagram.com/p/qMgnGGEiUj/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then your have the wait for the rides? That's what happened when they opened the first WWOHP area. They held people outside the area and wouldn't let anyone in until enough people left. We went 6 months later and it was still jam packed. The day we were there they were lined up waiting an hour TO GET INTO THE STORE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 What's crazy is that this area looks a heck of a lot bigger than the Hogsmeade area so... that's a LOT of people!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judy in Texas 150 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I wonder how they are handling the groups that assign one person to stand in line while the rest of their group wanders the park then expect to be able to get in line where the person they left behind is? I had that trouble with Olivander's Wand Shop. Not fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Good question. Hopefully with these kinds of crowds/waits they are actively not allowing it. Most (all?) of the queue for this attraction is inside - which means not easy to just hop over some rails to get to your party. In which case if the staff isn't doing anything about people pushing in, it'll be up to the good humor (or not) of the other guests as to whether they'll let somebody do this. If it's one person, or someone that left the line and is returning (see bathrooms) that's one thing, but if I'm standing in a 4-6 hour line and a group tries to push past me... well let's just say they better have more powerful wands than mine. If they're stopping people outside the area because of crowd levels, I'd say if your entire party isn't at least inside Diagon Alley, you're definitely out of luck.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 From Orlando Attractions Magazine's Facebook page... If you're headed to Universal Orlando Resort in the next week, you may want to buy one of these in Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment in Diagon Alley. Team members told us they will only be available one week. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152513131654330&set=pcb.10152513133609330&type=1&theater So the question is... how much do I have to pay Lou to go get me one of those posters?
