We’d thought about heading over today to give it a go but I’m thinking we’ll skip it. Doesn’t look promissing right now. I mean, I don’t mind standing in line but I’d rather know it’s for something, not waiting around while it’s going down a lot.
I was wondering the same thing. Not much on the boards. Post #464 on this thread gives some insight, but elsewhere someone had the experience of SRL being shut down. Someone else said that there is no fan in the area where you need to stand on the stairs for a while. Anyone out there who has been on SRL this week have some insight? Thanks!
We are going to be there Sun and have EE. Has anyone gone in the morning to get in line via Hogwarts Express from US side? If so, I would love some tips on timing, where to go once we get into IOA, when trains start running. Would anyone recommend going this route using the train from US during EE? Thank you!

Thanks so much to both you. That is exactly what I wanted to know. Early in IA line it is. Though not sure I can do 7:30I opted to forego EE and line up at IoA at about 7:30am. I hated that in a way but it’s the best way to ride Hagrid without burning hours of the day (I was off the ride by about 9:30 two days in a row).
It is my understanding that riding Hogwarts express from Universal would not put you ahead of people coming in through IoA.
I'm shocked you're offering this advice considering what it says under your name.Typically I do not suggest SR if there is more than 10-15 people. Even then, you'll probably be waiting a little bit, but not that long. Some SR lines can move, but often they do not move quickly since it is meant to fill in an empty slot. I wouldn't suggest SR at Hagrid's unless it's literally walk on (which I doubt it is) as I've heard it is horrid in terms of feeling hot, since it sounds like it's not air conditioned, or at least not ventilated well, and you'd be enclosed in a stairwell with a lot of people as well.
Does anyone have advice for the following? We will be at Portofino Bay next month, and I, at least, would like to try the "get in line at 7:30 a.m. strategy. The boats do not run that early, do they? I am thinking that I will need to leave the hotel at 7:15 at the latest, and walk on over. Yes?
I would just continue following this thread to see how things are going just before your trip to figure out the best strategy then.
Spike, I see both parks have the 9:00 opening with one having the 8:00 opening for your dates
No 7:00 ee listed as of today
If UO has large hotel occupancy is the only way they would change ee
But that would not be known yet
