I use Touring Plans and it says the sweet spot usually is about 1-3 pm with about an hour wait and the benefit of not having to get up in the dark. This really should be part of early entry or at least on the Express pass by now. I'm staying at one of the resorts in a few weeks and not getting any perk to get on this is really weak. Experts here please correct me if I'm missing something.Hagrid's still isn't part of early park access is it?
I'm trying to figure out best time to ride but finding conflicting information. Some places say get in line during early access and others say show up right before close. Any tips?

Same here, I just assumed it was part of early access so I was building a plan around doing just that. Surprised its not part of it. I hadn't seen the 1-3 suggestion before, that's very interesting. Kinda reverse psychology.

Long term, I'm sure Hagrid's will be added to EP and EPA. Remember, it took years for the first HP rides to get EP. Universal will add them once they are confident they can do so without creating capacity/maintenance issues. The tend to ease into that transition slowly. I doubt it will happen this year. If it does, that would be a pleasant surprise.

Does anyone know the average wait time right at park open and right at park close?
Wondering if going for early access and then just waiting in line till open is worth it.
Today it took us 2 hours. Late start got into park at 9:15am and was off ride at 11:15. Sunday and holiday weekend. Should of got in line yesterday at 3:30 when the wait was 90 minutes.
When the park closes.What time are they typically closing the line off these days?

You must have been right around me! I got in right around then too.I got in line tonight at 7:30 with a posted wait of 90 mins and park close at 8. I was on at 8:20
Yeah it’s great at night. And the chill in the air made it even better!You must have been right around me! I got in right around then too.
I'm super glad that the ride is finally staying open until closing time. I love getting in line at the end of the night and it's a better ride at night I think.
