Some rumors report that it is an expansion of RP, a more "moderate hotel" side or villas or family suites. Some say an entire new hotel.. but who cares!
I'm excited for everything Universal is doing!

Was only joking about the 3rd gate the space doesn't look big enough. would love to no where the waterpark is going though
That is the next big question.
Educated guess says Major area unless it comes as part of a bigger project.

Remind me again why the Bell apartments were a good idea...

Nice to see Universal had Gringott's ready for opening day. Universal Comcast learned nothing from 1990.....
Anyone know the length of the guest relations line?
The crowds are no where near the crowd for Hogsmeade on opening, the major difference is Forbidden Journey was ready for guests, Gringotts is not.

And how were the parking garages today? No capacity issues?
Today the parks are seeing a overall attendance record mainly due to guest being held in backstage areas, and the fact that ioa is way busier then expect. Last time only ioa was busy and the studios empty. Also, ioa has little room to house a 4 hour wait to get into a land.

Gringotts was down to 150 minutes then back up to 240 minutes.

Honestly, don't give him attention, it'll just encourage him. I know it's tempting, but if you were to delete your response there's less chance of him continuing. Just saying.

Same for your comment. It's up to you guys if you choose to keep them up, but I think this thread would be a better place if he gets discouraged and leaves.

Can anybody weigh in on how long they waited for vs. how long the posted wait time was when they got in line? It seems like since they did little play testing for Gringotts and the ride was apparently faltering, a time estimate would have been a shot in the dark at best.

We all love the parks, but why would anyone possibly subject themselves to the kind of crowds and waits reported here? How is any of this possibly pleasurable in any way, and even though you get bragging rights to be the first kid on your block and all that, isn't life really too short to spend 6 to 10 hours melting in the humid Florida sun for a four minute ride, when the same ride will still be there in a year and (hopefully) with reasonable crowds. This is just nutty!

I think its too hard to tell.
I know TPR posted the wait time was posted 150 then switched to 200 a few minutes after they made it into the bank entrance via single rider line. They waited a little over two hours.
I seen two people post they waited 4 hours just to reach the entrance of gringotts.. But they did eventually close single rider so that could have helped the line move

While not my thing to wait in line on opening day I see it as no different then people who camp out for concert tickets back in the day. The wait with other fans is part of the expierence and fun. Heck I did it as a teen we used to line up overnight for our local Alt Rock Festival in the 90s pre online buying. It was fun although I couldn't imagine doing it as and adult b
