IOA Early Admission/Escape from Gringotts

[socaldisfan]

hi, we will be at Universal Orlando in the end of August, and I think early admission will only be at IOA. I have searched the board but haven't been able to find information on how/when best to get to Universal Studios in order to ride Escape from Gringotts. Advice on how to minimize wait time for this ride with early admission at IOA would be much appreciated. Thanks!

If it is operating without technical issues.Do your early entry on IOA and get in line for Hogwarts express to take the first am train over .Ideally ( this didn't always work for us)You will get to Kings Cross station around the same time as the front gate guests arrive

Taking the HE over early is a good suggestion. Or wait till later in the day when it does quieten down.

You may be lucky and find queues are not massive on the day you go. We have friends there right now and got on in less than 20 minutes........they were surprised as parks are busy....they just hit it lucky. Have seen a couple of people post a similar story.

We went last week and were able to ride Gringotts twice in a row before 8am. We walked on. We were staying at RPR and did the UOF gate, and just walked over. It was easy. Our first day we did that too, but it was between 8/8:30 and we walked on also. Both parks had early entry all the days we were there, but we missed it our first day due to checking in, and still had success. I think you'll be ok. We never took the train in the morning, we just rode it back and forth one day
