Re-rides on Hulk at opening with lockers?

[wareagle57]

Hey guys. I am trying to figure out these lockers a little better before we go. One thing I think I might like to do is ride Hulk 2-3 times not long after opening. I'm noticing most days it has a posted wait of 5 minutes for at least the first hour. Not sure if this will still be true on a Mardi Gras Saturday.

But if so, I was wondering if we have to go back to our lockers each time, or if the grace period is long enough to ride it twice when there is a minimal wait. Also, will they let you wait for the front row on this ride?

Since you have to put everything into the locker, how do you pay to get it out if you go over the time?

Thanks so much!

We`ve used the lockers and gone on 3 times with EP and it`s been fine with the lockers....we didn't go over the time. Waits were minimal, we did three times in around 15-20 minutes in December.

You can wear a lanyard which holds your EP and some folks keep cards and maybe a few notes in there.....

Yes, you can wait for the front, we do it all the time

I`m not sure if you have EP or not now I think of it...….

No EP, but we do have EA to USO. My plan is to ride the first train of the day for HE over to IoA at opening. Walk to Kong first and ride it, and then hopefully be at Hulk by 9:20ish. I'm hoping it is still a 5 minute wait or so by then. If we can knock out Hulk, Kong, and Spider-Man in the first hour then I think we'll be set for the day.

The HE train leaves the station at 9:00

You would need to be in that line wait around 8:30 to be placed on the first train out

Many people will have the same plan as you in wanting to be on the first train out of the station

If it’s a slow to average day for attendance, you could walk to IOA and be in the park entrance line about 8:40 and could reach Kong and beat the rush

A lot depends on the day you go and number of peeps there early

Wish you the best and you successfully have short line waits

I didn't realize there'd be that many lining up that early since it's normally posted at a 10-15 minute wait early on. That changes things a bit. Is there actually a rush to Kong to beat? The wait times are always at 5 minutes when I check in the mornings. I expect it to be a slightly above average day. The ticket prices are in the regular tier and it's a level 6 on Touring Plans, but it's a Mardi Gras Saturday so I'm preparing for the worst, which means trying to do as much early as possible. Sounds like maybe we should just ride Gringotts and get over to Islands RD. But we will want to ride the train later and I hate to go to Islands twice...

Saturday usually brings more into the parks especially if the weather is good

I have been able to ride Kong on week days before 10:00 and have not seen bad lines
Early October was last time I was there in the parks

I have been watching waits too. Seems like Hulk builds a little faster in the morning...maybe because it’s at the front of the park? I think if you get both ridden in the first hour you should be fine.
