That's a shame..........many folks enjoyed this.

Time for this ride to have EP access.

That may be why the tour is being discontinued.

That'd be my guess too... the "castle tour" queue has always been the queue that was intended for EP.

Sounds about right. I guess Kong will be the big attraction without EP over at IOA for the future.

there have been times when the tour queue was not available for one reason or another. Maybe Seth just came across it on one of those days - his tweet didn't give any details.
It's a good way to take photos without holding up others in the line. And at the very end, I've never been denied going up to see the sorting hat and coming back, even though it's past what is supposedly the end of the tour.

I was hoping to do the tour this summer on my solo trip. I have a new camera and an awesome lens that takes great low light pics. I guess we will see what happens. I don't feel comfortable taking the camera on the ride itself, and I am not waiting in that line to not ride. I have been stuck in some of the rooms for long periods when the ride breaks down. Unfortunately, I have never had a camera on me, and sometimes the room as been a small annoying one, like the fat lady room
