It happens, rides break down.
Yes, same with me. Even with taking a Dramamene before the ride I still got motion sickness. Same thing happened with GotG the next day. My body occasionally reminds me that I'm not 25 anymore.Think this ride taught me that
A - Don't risk rides like this on an empty stomach, and
B - Motion sickness (especially when combined with hunger) gets worse as you start pushing 40
Ride kicked my butt, but it was really well done, and having it by Space Mountain to balance crowds somewhat ala how Thunder and Splash are supposed to do the same on the other side of the park is a good move.
I disagree, both do not have the hourly capacity to meet such demand.It's time for the vq to be retired on both the attractions that are using it.
Let people choose if they want to wait or buy an ILL or do a hybrid. VQ until 1 and then standbyI disagree, both do not have the hourly capacity to meet such demand.

I'm sure someone could figure it out. Easier to just run them like any other ride.Operations and staffing doesnt work that way.
The capacity is the same whether they use VQ or not. It’s just a question of where people wait: either in the queue for that ride or in the queues for other rides. As long as guests can fit in the footprint of the former (which I would expect to be the case at this point), that appears to be the more logical choice.I disagree, both do not have the hourly capacity to meet such demand.
They can throttle the demand with the wait time to keep it from getting out of hand.Both Tron & GOTG have an issue if you remove VQ... they don't have enough physical queue space. Tron and GOTG both have extended queues out in the sun... can't imagine people will be happy with that.
I'd imagine Tiana will get VQ, and then drop after a while, but Tron might keep it due to low capacity. GOTG probably would be fine if they had built a properly shaded extended queue.

I hate these arguments in regards to waits and standing in the sun. I know it gets hot in Florida but it gets hot in other parts of the country in the summer too. Somehow the parks in those parts manage with guests standing in the sun. They put canopies over the queue and have fans that spray most to deal with it.Both Tron & GOTG have an issue if you remove VQ... they don't have enough physical queue space.

The GotG queue feels like it goes on forever (which makes sense considering that it consumes basically an entire building that used to house a 45-min attraction). I have to imagine it could accommodate most of the demand.
If the parks actually provided decently covered waiting areas away from the sun, they couldn't care. Flight of Passage is mostly indoors and people don't mind waiting in that queue, but Tron/GOTG extended queues rely on small umbrellas and maybe 2 fans in total? The parks definitely need to do better in this regard.I hate these arguments in regards to waits and standing in the sun.

The wait from the planetarium entrance to first preshow typically takes ~40 minutes or so if the ride is running normal.The GotG queue feels like it goes on forever (which makes sense considering that it consumes basically an entire building that used to house a 45-min attraction).

If this was a DAS-related need, fine. But as a DAS user, I feel accommodated enough that using this trick simply because someone wants to ride Tron at night, which is what many wish they could do as well, doesn't feel right. Just my opinion...We travel with a DAS and got a virtual queue spot - our boarding group happened to open up around 11am. I talked with the CM at the tent to exchange our virtual queue for a lightning lane and explained that we would need to return a little later and asked if that would be okay. I was told that once our virtual queue was exchanged for a lightning lane that we'd be able to come back any time that day.
Not sure if I'd feel okay doing that just if we wanted to ride at night, but I have a hunch it would work fine. If I just wanted to ride at night, I'd probably try to secure a virtual queue spot at the afternoon drop.
