Were our calculations correct?
Heck yes they were!
Did you hear news stories about people waiting for hours and hours and hours to ride the new ride? (That's not an exaggeration - when "Harry Potter land" first opened this summer you had to wait multiple hours just to GET IN to the land, much less do anything.
We walked right on the ride. No waiting, no nothing ... walked right on.
The ride is inside the giant Hogwarts castle. The queue line is fully decorated like the inside of the castle, so I honestly wanted to wait a little tiny bit so I could look at all the details.
Later on in the day we walked thru the queue line again. This time the line was a whopping 15 minutes (ha!). When we got to the front we said, "we don't want to ride please", and went thru the chicken exit.
The ride is pretty cool, but it's 1/2 looking at stuff and 1/2 virtual reality. My inner ear can't handle that virtual stuff. Even Jonathan was a little queazy afterwards.
The ride was kind-of scary. A dragon and a bunch of dementors are in your face (I mean, inches away!).
More on HP land (better known as "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter") later!

I am SO GLAD you told that. I would never be able to do it then, NO WAY. I'd get sick. I wouldn't have looked up info on that either. I don't read about Universal like I do Disney. I'd have been in trouble. We have tickets again free for 2011. Right now we're planning on October and staying at Shades when the PGA tour is there. We'll have a 2 year old and a 3 month old, YIKES. So not sure if we'll get to use the free tix or not. If not, I know just the people to pass them on to ;)
