So at at least as early as 4:40 PM yesterday, Hagrid’s was listed as “at capacity” on the app. The park closed at 8:00 pm. That's over three hours before park close even though it’s averaging more like 75 minute waits now. All the other rides had a low/walkon to moderate wait.
That's pretty ridiculous I’m starting to suspect they’re trying to artificially create demand/scarcity. It's been 3.5 months now. Time to stop making people gamble on whether or not they’ll actually get to queue up. Like, seriously, I won't care if they decide on closing it one hour before park closing as long as they tell people beforehand when the line is going to close.

But did you ride it?

I would have gone to the park and rode if it was open but since it wasn't, I didn't.

You can’t always go by the app.
My last visit there, it said ‘at Capacity a good 2 hours before park close....but guess what? The ride said 75 minutes and the line was still open. I did single rider and got on in about 25 minutes.

Well, that's still crappy. Why lie? Why can't they just decide on a hard closing time?

I visited at the end of August and found all the posted wait times to be wildly off. A posted 2 hour wait was around 45 minutes.
Additionally, having the single ride line so far up in the queue was insane to me, as well as not having the ability to know if it was taking single riders or not (despite everyone working the attraction wearing a headset).
That said we greatly enjoyed the ride, it was really fun. The big creature in the hut looked bad...but that was about the only nitpick.

People seem to defending Universal by saying the wait for Hagrid isn't as bad as the wildly inaccurate posted times would have one think.
That's not much of a defense of Universal.
Can we talk, then, about the failure that is wildly inaccurate posted wait times?
Now, I'm not anti-Hagrid, just saying that this isn't clearing Universal of all charges.

Harry Potter Lands: Great land and rides. Terrible queue time management.

They're taking into account possible downtimes. Its a case of under promise and over deliver. If there's a delay and it turns out to be the wait time, everyone is ok with it. If there's a delay but still get on earlier, everyone is happy. If there's no delay and everyone gets on very quickly, everyone is very very happy.People seem to defending Universal by saying the wait for Hagrid isn't as bad as the wildly inaccurate posted times would have one think.

This way one one gets upset.

I just want to know what time the line will be closed. It's horrible guest service to make guests gamble on whether or not they will be able to queue up.
I don't care about the overposting, although posting more than double what it actually is to account for downtimes that might happen is kind of ridiculous too and certainly comes across as trying to make the ride seem more popular than it is. Every ride you ever queue up for might go down, and typically they make announcements informing you of the delay.

Sure. Will we be discussing all the parks who are guilty of this, or are we arbitrarily singling out Universal? I'd just like some clarification before we get started.
Totally missed the point. Good day.
No, I don't think I did, otherwise you wouldn't be so concerned with who is or isn't defending Universal, and I'd see you lobby this same complaint elsewhere on the forums as well, but I have not.
Has the discussion/trial been cancelled?

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.
