This was my family's second trip from Illinois to Universal Studios to ride the new Hagrid ride, and 6th time visiting the park for the sole purpose of riding this "new" ride. EVERY time the ride was broken down. I have waited more than 5 hours of my life in line waiting for this ride and still have not ridden. I've been to the Disney parks countless times and if a ride is broken, it is always fixed very quickly. That is it for me and Universal. I will never darken their doorstep again. Incredibly disappointing!

too crowded. 7-year-old grandchild over-tired and stressed after 4-hours of long waits.

Great day as it rained earlier and off season so we had little or no issues getting on rides. Food offerings were much better than Disney and you can grab a beer or drink if so desired. Much less strollers and wheelchairs and scooters too.

4/5 - Good

The Hagrid ride schedule is all over the place--they usually open it at noon, but we got on it our first day at 10:30 after a 55 minute wait (NOTE: no Express Pass accepted). The next day people were lined up at 8:00, but ride only allowed boarding ride at 3:00, then abruptly cancelled for the day without ever leaving the loading area, supposedly due to wet weather. People who had been in line off-and-on nearly all day were understandably fuming.
