When to ride Hagrid?

[GhostHostLady]

Has the new Jurassic ride shaken things up a bit for Hagrid? What time of day is the best to ride?

We won't have early entry so we'll be behind the pack of hotel people our day so not sure if it matters when we plan for it.

Any tips?

The thing about Hagrid is that it still remains extremely unreliable (far more so than Velocicoaster), so if riding it is a priority you should attempt to rope-drop it and if that doesn't work, try again throughout the day.

In case anyone else is planning for Hagrid's, would definitely recommend rope drop - was able to ride twice on Labor Day with neither wait being bad.

The first ride was effectively a walk-on; second was more like 20-25 minutes.

By that point, VelociCoaster's wait had soared to 80 minutes, but I was happy to get two rides on Hagrid's. Incredible ride!

The wait in the last 30 minutes isn't really that bad usually. Try to ride it at night if you can. Like most coasters, the experience is quite enhanced at night.

Took a date shortly after it evened out and first ride for her was front row, motorcycle, at night. Magical!

The best time to ride Hagrid, as with any ride, is when the wait time is the shortest.
