A) I'll ride Storm Force with you! I've never ridden it. No one with me wanted to go on it. B) We had express Pass last time and waited for that dang hippogriff for almost 40 minutes! Won't happen again. C) The longest we waited for anything was Hagrids. I think we waited almost an hour and a half...in late January 2022....when the weather was sucky and the parks were not crowded.....and we were there for EPA. I believe that trip, the only rides we waited more than a few minutes for were HP rides (with express pass). We walked on Velocicoaster! (before it took express).
A) I hope you are ready to spin! Aub try’s to go fast! But that would be so fun! Hopefully we can make it work! B) That’s a good wait for Hippogriff! It’s fun, but that’s pushing the patience limit lol C) Hagrid’s at 90 minutes seems to be the standard….even during epa! Fingers crossed for express pass soon?
@Fudge Factor The only reason I waited that long was because the 2 people with me had never been before, and we are all big HP nerds so we HAD to do it! I am ready to ride Storm Force! We arrive on the 4th of December (not sure if that will be a park day, cuz we have no airline tickets yet. We are trying to get there early afternoon, but coming from the west coast I doubt that will happen). In park door sure 5-8. Hope to run into you!
@@Rene...startingover that would be awesome to run into you! Fingers crossed we can make something happen! Couldn’t agree more. Waiting in line with people that have never ridden the rides, particularly the hp ones, adds a whole different dynamic
I love a good spinning ride. Faster the better. I think I have a bit more patience for rides. Other than Hagrids and velocicoaster 120, I typically wait 45min-60min for a ride. I have my books on my phone or my husband and I play a stupid alphabet game, it makes the time pass quicker.
Having fun games definitely makes the time pass faster! We’ve seen lots of people playing heads up on their phones! You are very patient! Waiting two hours for a ride, even Hagrid’s or Velocicoaster is pushing it for us lol
@@fudge_factor I’m used to it though! Been going to the parks a long time. I remember being really young and complaining about the line. My mom said if I keep complaining about the lines, no more rides. I stopped complaining. The game we play is you pick a category and then go down the alphabet alternating letters.
My daughter and I waited 2 hours for Hagrid when we were there last month to ride it while it was dark, but the ride broke and we didn't get to. We did get some Ruby passes that allowed us to come back the next night and Express Pass it. We did try that but weather came in and they closed it for the night which got us 2 more Ruby passes. We rode it back to back to back the next day. Probably the only people in the park that got to do that, on that day!
Thank goodness you were able to ride it! I’m sure the weather and the technical difficulties were a bit frustrating!! Riding back to back is an amazing feat! Did your daughter love it?
@@fudge_factor Yes! We rope dropped it in EPA and then used our 4 ruby passes to ride it two more times back to back. We are trying to plan a trip in November so we can do the Orlando Informer meetup. Still want to ride Hagrid's after dark.
@@twinblwn Orlando informer meet ups are amazing! Especially around Christmas! Seeing Seuss landing and the Wizarding world all decorated for the holidays AND the parks being empty is a sight to behold! Hagrid’s at night is basically a whole different ride! It’s amazing! Have you ridden Velocicoaster at night?
@@fudge_factor We haven't ridden Veloci at night yet either but are looking forward to this in the fall. Haven't ridden anything at night yet because we've only been during the summer and the long days season. We were a Disney family up until the pandemic when everything changed with fast passes, having to plan every detail, no park hopping, and season passes doubling in cost. My daughter is getting older now and enjoys the bigger, faster thrill rides at Universal more anyway so it works out.
@@twinblwn That's awesome! and totally makes sense. The video that just dropped actually encompasses that idea in the summer super well....so very ironic lol. Is she a Harry Potter fan also?
I do know some people are not willing to wait in line for rides who's wait times are over a hour but I am willing to wait as long as it takes. Like for example waiting in line for 55 minutes. So as you can tell I'm one of the more patient people. The rides I am talking about are Incredible Hulk Coaster, Hagrids and Velocicoaster.
You are very patient! Totally agree with the bigger rides! We would totally wait longer times for the ones you listed! Which would you wait the longest for?
@@fudge_factor Well so far when I've been to Islands of Adventure I've gotten on Hulk and Velocicoaster quicker than Hagrids so the ride to wait the longest for will be Hagrids.
Your Storm Force reaction sounds like us! Haha! I’ll ride almost anything and my husband will just keep the camera and go film some things 😂 he can’t even ride Spider-Man 😅
@@fudge_factor oh my gosh!! That’s awful… he’s only here for the coasters basically! Haha. Hagrid’s makes him a little sick but he says it’s still worth it 😂
@@fudge_factor yes! Velocicoaster is so much fun! So excited to get back on it in a few weeks now that I’m not pregnant 😂😂 I think it’s the backwards part on Hagrid’s that will get people with motion sickness!
I’ve never done Storm Force, but I’d love too try it! I hate the queue from Hogsmeade to Kings Cross, it’s so hot when it’s crowded. My max from that direction is 15 mins. I rode flight of the Hippogriff I think 5 times my last visit. I didn’t use to to like it, but I feel like it’s helping my coaster fear 😅. I did ride the motorcycle on Hagrids this time and held the handlebars! I absolutely loved it! I think I’ll be ready for the Velocicoaster in November! Anyway, back to the topic. Usually my max is 20-40 mins for any ride. Not because I don’t like to wait. My knees just don’t like the non movement 😒
I’m sure Aub will ride storm force in November with you! Agreed, most outdoor queues in the summer bring the patience down a bit lol. You’ll totally be ready for Velocicoaster in November!! Especially if you can do Hagrid’s! What ride will you wait for the longest?
@@fudge_factor Yay! That’s would be fun to ride with her! I think Hagrids would be my longest wait time. Probably at 60 mins. I think this last time it was posted for 40 mins and it was maybe 20, it went pretty fast. I think they make the wait times longer than some of them really are. Then you look at some lines and you know that line is way longer than what they have posted.
@@jo.universalstateofmind Hagrid’s is definitely one you have to accept that a long wait is common. If you see it under and hour you should probably jump in line! I bet there’s some level of crowd control with posted wait times
What’s the longest you will wait for a ride? And what ride is it??
90 mins hagrid 60 mins V-coaster
@@franknixon4784 thats about where we would be for Hagrid’s and Velocicoaster! Both queues are awesome though so that time actually goes pretty quick!
I’d wait 180 mins for Fast and Furious supercharged.
@@franknixon4784 …..please tell me you’re joking lol
I love the Tea Cups at Disney, so I’ll ride Storm Force with ya, Aubrey!
Hahah perfect!! Ben will film us having a blast! His loss 🤣
@@fudge_factor Ashley has pics of me showing off the guns on the Tea Cups when we did Disney for my 50th! We can get new ones on Storm Force! 🤣
Couldn’t agree more! Most things are just not worth it and I’d rather spend my time doing something else.
Agreed! I might wait longer for
Velocicoaster or Hagrid’s, but the other ones probably not
Hogs Meade us not AC, kings cross has the nice area to cool down before the platform. 12:06
3:36 at first I didn’t hear big booms….and I was like, which coaster are we on. Lol.
Hahah the ac in kings cross is a game changer! Which ride will you wait the longest for?
@@fudge_factor we waited 2.5 hours to ride slinky dog ride once.
@@franknixon4784 oh wow! Is that normal for Disney rides?
Lol, my girlfriend would ride storm force with you. I’ll be enjoying snack time!
Haha exactly! If we are ever in the parks at the same time I’m sure she would take you up on it! You and I can enjoy a snack!

Haha yay!! Hopefully you can join us on an adventure soon!!
I waited 2 hours for hagrids while it was fun it was not worth a 2 hour wait
Woof! Yep that wait time does get up there for Hagrids. How long would you wait for it???
I would ride storm force any day!
Haha ughhh you and Aub can have fun spinning 😵💫. Maybe in June??
