Early Entry Rides Open Currently

[Earningmywings]

We are going for the first time next week. Can anyone tell me which rides are open for the early park entry hour? From what I have read looks like only Harry Potter rides, which is fine, but are the 4 main ones all open (Hagrids, Gringotts, Hogwarts Express, and Forbidden Journey)? The app shows most of those open at 9. Thanks

Gringotts is typically the only one open when EE is at USO. Minions is ususally open too. HE doesn't open until 9:00. FJ is usually open if EE is at IoA, and Hagrid is hit of miss for EE. There are more things open at IoA for EE than USO, but EE happens much more often at USO.

Other rides are open besides HP. Remember it's only 1 park (so not all HP rides as they are in both parks)

It looks like Studios is the early entry park for September. The HP rides (or any others) in IOA will not have early entry

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think Transformers at Studios is also open. I know we have ridden it early after Gringotts, but maybe we were in Transformers line right at opening and not technically "early".

Also I think Hulk and Spiderman at IOA.

It might vary by season?

They do seem to change things up from time to time. All I ever remember seeing is:

• IOA -
  • Every time we've been, FJ was open for EPA
  • Other than when Hulk was being rebuilt, it has been open every time we have gone
  • On our 2 or 3 most recent trips, Hagrids was open
  • Last 2 or 3 trips, Hippogriff was open - not really sure about trips before that.
  • Our last trip (the only trip since it has been built), Velocicoaster was open

• USO
  • Every time we've been after Gringott's opened, it has been open for EPA
  • Since it opened, I'd guess 80% of the time, Minions was the other EPA ride
  • The other 20% of our trips, it has been Mummy instead of Minions

Not saying it hasn't happened, but I've not seen any other rides on the EPA list.

I didn’t think about those being the other park. Makes since only the ones in USO would be open if that’s the only with early entry. Thanks.
