Rides available for Early Park Entry?

[anorman]

I have an upcoming trip in Aug 2019 and we have decided to book an overnight stay at the RPR to spend two days in the parks. It looks like there is early park entry at IOA for both days. Does anyone know what rides are available at IOA for early park entry? Are there any rumors that Hagrid's might be open for this? Just wondering if it is worth it to be up at the crack of dawn to avail of the early entry.

They haven’t even posted July’s EE schedule on the official site yet so how are you seeing August?

August hours are there on the app.....so are July's.

What @anorman says is correct. On the official website I do see none of that, but on the app itself, depending on what day in August both can be open, or just IOA for EE.

In the past, for EE for IOA it's all of Harry Potter and Caro-Seuss-El. However, while that could include Hagrid's coaster, there is no official word yet on that being fact yet since Hagrid's coaster is a new attraction. However, to me it would make sense that it would include Hagrid's coaster.

Wow, this was a great heads-up. Can't believe the Early Park Admission hours are posted on the app but not on the website! The EPA hours on the app sure look like they are final - in early August, it's mostly Volcano Bay and IOA-only during the week, but all three parks get EPA on the weekends.

Fingers crossed that it includes Hagrid for IOA by the time of our trip. Volcano Bay opening for EPA every day at 7:30 am should be a good chance to get some rides in early before the crowds arrive....

Just because you have found early park admission parks all ready posted on various sites really means nothing. It can be changed at any time for any reason. I would hold my excitement and expectations until we actually see.

Good luck to all that are hoping it is true.

As far as I know the only place I've confirmed it's posted on is Universal's official app. Perhaps it's on other sites, but the place that the original OP was referring to was Universal's official app, not any of the fan websites.

I wouldn’t count on the app being correct yet as far as EE goes that far out. When we visited in April the app for quite some time was stating that both parks would have EPA when in fact only US was the early park once we got closer to our dates. While I hope the info you have from the app is correct I would caution you that it may not be. The official site online is your best bet and it seems they only release those about a month out.

Thanks for the info. I will keep checking both as my dates get closer.

Well, hopefully they'll update the official website soon, as typically they show a couple of months at a time. It's been awhile since I've been keeping tabs on it, but in the past I've noticed that once one goes, another month is added, so at least two months are shown, however right now May is long gone and June is almost over and that's the only two months they're showing on the website at the moment.

So, I wonder if that's just typically what they do is wait until both are done before revealing the two new months of EE now, or they're waiting since they're still deciding.
