Express Pass for Hagrid's after reopening?

[JakeAZ]

Anyone think they will add Hagrid's to Express Pass after reopening, as a way to entice visitors back?

Just having the parks open will entice peeps to go there.

In the short term, yes. You'll get the re-books. But, attendance will be down across the board. Vast numbers of people have had their incomes affected and don't expect international guests to come back at the same levels. The parks, Disney included, will be looking for ways to get the people who do come to spend more.

It would be great if they did!

I don't think making Hagrid's an EP ride will get more people to the parks, but I would certainly like for it to happen Given the popularity of the ride, I could see them waiting quite a while before taking EPs...

Would be a nice surprise if they completed maintenance/repairs AND made it EP! I'll take the first part though at least.

I think we are going to see substantial discounts first.

I dont expect express pass - I'd be happy with a virtual queue

 

[greg9x]

No. Especially since it's probably not fixed 100%. Without a dependable full capacity ride going, Express would just cause more frustration.

 

[RamblingMad]

This ride needs a virtual queue.

That would be great if they did, but we will still be visiting, EP line or not!

At the very least, it might help to space people out a little better, since people that would otherwise be in the standby line may now go through the express pass line.

I think it depends on how occupancy looks for the deluxe resorts when they open up again. I'm guessing they will have trouble filling rooms given the economy and international travel restrictions - assuming those are still in place. If so, they may make Hagrids EP to sweeten the pot a little bit. If not, then I would guess they're going to wait a little longer until they know it's reliable post closure.
