Diagon full opening day

[marni1971]

530am and there's a huge crowd outside the park gates already.

Measures are inside the park to take extended queues for access to the land to handle the anticipated crowds.

Here we go....

 

[marni1971]

Guests have been admitted into the park at 6am. Holding on the London waterfront.

Pray Gringotts works...

 

[sonoma15]

If gringott's doesn't work the area will probably be too crowded.

 

[marni1971]

It was / bedlam. As expected.

Gringotts is open. Not exactly running smoothly. Eeek.

 

[sonoma15]

At-least it's open...

Inside the Magic is currently reporting a 300 minute wait time for Gringotts.

Holy, not even at peak time!!

Also gringotts went down for 15 minutes but came back up so it seems usually the break-downs are a fast 15-30 minute fix.

Holy, not even at peak time!!

With any grand opening, "peak" time is the second they open. No doubt that it will be like this for a good while to come.

Can we get some crowd pics? Anyone on the ground?

Line to get into Diagon Alley Expands to MIB

 

[danlb_2000]

I saw one site that reported the Gringotts is only dispatching a car every 2 minutes.

Line to get into Diagon going backstage behind MIB over to the Simpsons area.

1990 all over again. Who said Back to the Future was gone.....

 

[Timekeeper]

So far, doesn't seem nearly as bad as 4 years ago...

 

[tahqa]

Lines for Gringott's are reportedly 6 hours now...

 

[sonoma15]

Hah, to those people that don't think it's a roller-coaster.

 

[Disneyhead'71]

So it looks like a 5 hour wait to get into the land and then another 5 hours for Grungott's.
