Guest Reports Describe Widespread Queue Misconduct at Universal Orlando

Guests blame surging post–Epic Universe crowds for a breakdown in line etiquette.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets on January 13 highlighted firsthand accounts describing frequent line cutting and disruptive behavior concentrated in attraction queues.
  • One VelociCoaster rider reported counting 27 people cutting ahead during roughly a 125-minute wait on a line posted at 150 minutes.
  • Locker requirements at Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure are repeatedly cited as enabling groups to split and later push forward to rejoin.
  • Reports detail patterns including guests squeezing through queues to 'meet' a party, sitting or 'camping' in place, and reentering far ahead of where they exited.
  • Operations and attractions remain popular and running normally, with no announced enforcement changes, as writers urge basic etiquette like entering as full groups and rejoining only where you left.
