[Rob562]

Reports on the Passholder page are that Hagrid's shut down mid-day today because a sudden, massive swarm of bees had descended around the ride track.

How were you able to obtain pictures of the bees?

Ok, I tried attaching pics, but there's something up with pic attachments on here right now...

This is toward the end of the ride and the swarm took up in a hard to reach spot along a wall.

Damn thing is cursed...

No it worked! I see 13 bees!

 

[JT3000]

I thought you were joking...

 

[MisterPenguin]

Universal's web page says therer's 150 bees, but it turns out to be only 30.

 

[OG Runner]

Seriously? That's just comical.

Unless you have a bee allergy or imagine riding along at 30 miles or so and getting face full of bees. (no windshield)

Today: listed as at capacity on the app FOUR hours before park close. What an absolute joke.

I did happen to see posted on the app earlier today that the line would be closing at 3pm.

A specific time is helpful, though it's still horrible that they're still having these issues. (We were hoping to ride after sunset on our trip at the end of the month. I'm not holding my breath...)

3:00??? What possible justification could they have for closing the line which typically sits at 75 minutes FIVE hours before the park closes??

I thought this particular discussion is about Hagrid's. Nothing arbitrary about discussing the unusual posted wait times, that upon
examination do not appear to be providing accurate information.

It would appear that you can't say anything negative about Hagrids ride on the Hagrid's ride thread unless you discuss other parks too?

This thing has been open just shy of four months now and it still isn't running for most of the hours the park is open? Wow....
If they can't keep it running by now, what's it going to take?

It's an Intamin, they're lucky they got it open for Opening Day.

I ride a motorcycle and I'm familiar with running into bugs at speed. Last Saturday something stung me in the neck at 60 miles an hour. I lived through it. I have water moccasins and alligators in my backyard, I'm I terrified to go outside? No.

Why do you guys have to be so dramatic.

BTW if you don't move fast or freak out, bees will leave you alone. They're not out to attack anything. I have fruit trees and my neighbor has bee hives, works out well for both of us. I get flowers pollinated and he gets favored honey. I walk out to the orchard and you can hear the bees buzzing when the trees are in bloom. They don't come to attack me. Just act calm, they won't go after you unless you do something to get them hyped up. Like screaming while waving your hands around.

You mean like people do on a coaster?

The Bees are back this morning. What an operational nightmare.

 

[OG Runner]

They aren't real. They are the world's best example of animatronic bees. They are all part of ride. It is absolutely amazing that
people think they are real.

Maybe Bobby Iger sent them over....

I'm so glad they stopped doing just screen based rides. The best parks have variety like the Magic Kingdom for example (Dark Rides, Boat Rides, Shows, etc).
