Default I have a very important question

Would you stand in this line to be among the first to see the new Harry Potter attraction at Universal?

OOOF! not even at Disney World on a cool day.
Actually, most probably thought they were in the line to catch the shuttle back to TV.

I wouldn't pay the $79 fee to go through if I was the only person in the line.

Althought I loved all the Harry Poter books (I read them after my grandsons were finished)
No way would I stand in that line.

I plan on seeing the attraction, but not for at least 2 years. Maybe then the newness will wear off.

The park, I see from the news, isn't that great or that big. Alot of hype.

Default Too many people in line to enjoy this park.

It looks like the park would be too densely packed to get much enjoyment out of the attractions.

Who's Harry Potter and what's a HP exhibit? Actually, I know, but there's no way I would stand in line for anything HP related. I know a person that waited in line at a local Barnes and Noble to get a copy of the last book. THEN she went home and stayed up all night reading the thing. I don't know what in the world makes people so obsessed with this type of thing. I don't think there's anything worth standing in a line like that in the photo.

I stood in line 90 min for the Batman ride at 6 flags 'cause my son wanted to go on. If any of my children or grand children wants to go to Harry Poter, I am game.

Perhaps I am not as old as you guys.

I just recently started reading the Harry Potter series and was instantly hooked by the genius of J.K. Rowling. I found myself immersed into the magical world of Harry and his friends as they grew up and ultimately fought evil. The only weird thing, for me, was having to go into the Children's Books section of Barnes & Noble to buy each of the 7 volumes.
I definitely want to see this exhibit and walk through the streets of Hogsmeade, but I will wait until Fall when the youngsters are back in school and some of the newness has worn off.

Actually, I never understand why people will wait in huge initial lines for something that will be there for a long time. I have waited in long lines for things (never as long as the Harry Potter lines were) but that was for things that were only available for a very limited time and I was really very interested in.

For some reason, some people just have to be the "first" to go somewhere or have something and are willing to sacrifice enormous amounts of time to achieve that.

I want to see the Harry Potter exhibit but why fight the crowds. It will be there for a long time and I am patient. I agree with RichieLion, I will wait until the newness wears off in a few months.
