Someone on another forum did single rider today, normal wait time was 150 and SR took 140, although they did say when they came out the ride time was up to 180, so maybe it will save a little time, but better than nothing I guess!

Cant wait for next Thursday when everything is up and running and all the negativity, complaining and bad press of a park that was running in TECHNICAL REHEARSALS is layed to rest. Cheers.

Is the virtual queue due to unreliability? Ie they don’t want people to wait 3 hours and then not get on it.

I’d like the option to make my own decision on if to join that queue, so I hope the normal queue remains.

Not a fan of Disney’s use of it either for new rides. Think they underestimate the stress of the experience of missing out, especially if you’ve travelled far.

So it seems like it's been pretty reliable today?

As someone who waited 270~ minutes to get on Hagrid's Motorbike back in 2019 within 2 weeks of it being open and thought that was WELL worth the wait - I only have one thought...

Things have come up and down but it seems MoM has been stable. The Untrainable Dragon has been cancelled most of the day

Potter is the gold standard for guest demand. It will always beat Monsters, no matter which ride is better.

Are they shutting the park for a few days before grand opening or is it rolling straight from previews to opening?

Yes, in terms of uptime at least, but we got talking to a family in front of us in the Minecart Madness queue who had ridden Ministry first thing this morning and they said that the queue moved very slowly, and that there were extended periods where they didn’t move at all despite no formal delay being announced. So it sounds like it’s been pretty reliable, but very low capacity.

I've been trying to savor all the moments leading up to my first visit to Epic in a few weeks. I can only be on vacation for so long, but I can plan and anticipate like mad, and I can do it for months!

We had to put my dog down the day before TM previews started, and reading those first reactions was the best distraction I could've asked for. It's been so nice to reconnect with that feeling I had as a kid reading about IOA and DCA as they opened.

As much as I'm sure I'll remember my first days there, I'm also going to remember days like today, waking up with a rush of excitement reading that Ministry was using standby queue. I'm so thankful for this community of like-minded nerds who've given so much great info from the out in the field. Can't wait to see it for myself soon!

They do. (It’s near child swap. Just ask a TM.)

We were back in the Plastered Owl after getting evac’d from Mario Kart when we saw the wait time drop to 90 and then 75. Headed straight over and joined the queue at 19.20 - will come back and update how long we end up waiting.

Edit - 19.28 and we’re in the Ministry:

We ended up getting on the ride at 20.45, so only an 85 minute wait when 75 was posted. The line moved much faster than we thought it would - some of the time it felt like we were moving through it faster than when we did the tour of the queue yesterday. No delays at all.
