Me and my DB will be at IOA from the 15th Sept, has the hype of TWWOHP calmed down yet? Is the park still really busy? Is all the park busy or is everyone heading straight to Hogwarts? Harry Potter isn't really my thing, maybe being English I don't find it as interesting as Americans. Will I have the rest of the park to myself? !!!!:wave:

A friend of mine was out there for the last 2 weeks of August and she had no problems with Hogwarts and only queued for 45 mins to get on the ride

We waited about 75 minutes for HP & the FJ and about 75 minutes for Ripsaw Falls or whatever it's called. HP was the most crowded part of the park, but it's calmed down quite a bit from the opening, & there are still quite a few people in the other "lands."

Yesterday HPatFJ was holding a 20-30 minute wait, and Ollivander's had a wait from 30-45 minutes. Everything else was pretty dead.

I went Monday and Wednesday this week from 3pm-closing (we do the Studios on the morning). EVERYTHING was a walk on, except Harry Potter at about 30 minutes.

I was at IOA on Monday (9/5). Forbidden Journey had a wait of 20 minutes. It took that long to walk through the que. I was literally sitting on the ride in 20 minutes from walking through the front entrance. I'm fairly sure the line to get into the wand shop was longer, but I didn't see a posted wait time. There looked to be about 50-60 folks standing outside waiting in line. Everything else in the park was posting a 5-10 minute wait. (Hulk, Spiderman, Dragons, Cat in the Hat, Fearfall.) I was expecting it to be a little busier since it was Labor Day, but I was wrong.

I was also there on Monday and I waited over 90 minutes for Forbidden Journey around 6pm. Were these short lines just early in the day or something?

I guess it was just in the morning. I got to the park around 10:30 or so & just rode the Cat in the Hat & Forbidden Journey. I left after that & went to have lunch at the Hard Rock.
