No, no, no. I think you have that backwards. We want as few of rides accepting UXP as possible! VC is fine without.

(But…it is hopeless…I don’t think UOR is going to listen to me on this one.)

I hope this is true and will make my visit in May SOOO much easier. If it were Hagrid’s it would be even better, but given that the line is always super long and the ride is still unreliable, I understand why they don’t do that.

What dates will you be there?

Very end of May. 5/29 - 6/1. Then we are at WDW until 6/10.

Ah, okay. No overlap then with our trip.

WDWNT is reporting the same rumor.

How much should we expect the standby line to increase when VC opens the Express lane?

We arrive 2/20 so I’ll be able to report if Velocicoaster is using UXP.

I wonder if they are only rebroadcasting the same thing or have a source?

Not by much, unless folks decide to do re-rides. That is, ride once with UXP, and then again in standby. That is where the standby line will end up growing longer.

If they label it a rumor, they may not have a source, other than other sites posting the rumor. If they don’t label it as a rumor, then they probably have a source.

As much of a new HHN fanatic I have become, even I think spec maps this far out are silly! :laughing::crazy_face:

I’m glad you said that. It’s way too early for Halloween! But my opinion isn’t worth much since I don’t like haunted houses to begin with.

Update: person checking into hard rock hotel last night said that upon check-in, the front desk told her that Velocicoaster would accept express pass today. Posted on disboards.

Looks very likely the rumor is true.

I don’t know if I’ve seen the wait for VC this high before.

(It does not list VC having Express Lane on the app, yet)

Yikes! This is a very very busy week. I also looked on the app to see if they listed express pass availability.
