Local knowledge: Hagrid's is not on Express. Ride it in the first thirty minutes or in the last hour before close — those are the only two cheap windows.
Each day starts from how that weekday normally runs at Islands of Adventure, learned from our own recorded wait snapshots as they accumulate, and is raised for public holidays and school-holiday periods. We are still accumulating enough per-park history to separate the Universal Orlando parks from one another, so for now they share a weekday pattern; the months below are specific to Islands of Adventure. It is a forecast of relative busyness, not a promise: a 3 means a day that usually runs quiet for this park, not a guarantee of short lines. The further out a date sits, the more it leans on the weekday pattern alone.
