“I think that is the approach in the industry. “They want to get it as properly tested as they can before they open the flood gates,” Speigel said. Because the ride was not quite ready for full operation, the park has been running it for only limited hours each day. He noted that the Universal Orlando Resort opened a roller coaster in June at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter called Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure.
“You want to have rides open early in spring, during the beginning of the season when the parks start to see an influx of visitors,” said Dennis Speigel, president of International Theme Park Services. But they note that rushing a ride before it is ready to operate at full capacity can lead to delays and frustrated visitors. Industry experts say it is unusual for a theme park to open a major attraction this late into the summer and with little notice or fanfare.
