By the way, I forgot to mention the ride is absolutely worth the wait, including the 3 months I’ve waited living here with an AP until my wife could go. It was killing me, but stayed completely spoiler free. It was only slightly spoiled by seeing part of the track from the queue.
I thought all the “best ride in Orlando” talk was going to overhype it for me and I’d come away disappointed. But I 100% agree. I can’t wait to ride it again. It probably helped that I got to ride the bike and on the front row my first time. I wish everyone could have a chance to wait for it but I feel so blessed that it worked out that we got to do the front row.
I went back today to try and ride it but as soon as I got there it was delayed, and never reopened. They said there were honey bees on the track!
