I wasn't there, but based on what I've seen, crowd management wasn't even an issue. It was actually pretty uneventful in that sense. They even took several unusual measures to prepare for the entirely expected onslaught, like setting up a 10-hour-long queue (that even slithered through backstage areas) ahead of time and handing out water to everyone. There were simply too many people all wanting to see the same thing.

Except establish a virtual queue, like they know how to do with F&F.
Hagrids is gonna make tron feel flat!!
Hopefully Universal will learn a thing or two about before opening an attraction before it’s ready. 10 hours is unacceptable, and there’s no excuse.
The reason they opted against it for Friday was because the ride was not able to open until 11am.They were planning to... and switches for some reason. They were telling guests on Monday that virtual queue started Friday... but they opted not to.
The challenge with a virtual queue is there is no pain to balance tolerance for waits

That rapid switch track is a pretty cool piece of tech.
They're completely different track switches. One moves left and right (Hagrid) the other rotates.That rapid switch track is a pretty cool piece of tech. Quite an advancement on what Vekoma developed for Expedition Everest. I see Intamin has a few more coasters in the works using these. Excited to see some novel new ideas come up using these in the near future.

You mean like Disney did with Epcot? Or Space Mountain? ... sigh... short memoriesHopefully you'd also learn a lesson or two about trying to ride on opening day.
