Why does this ride have a VQ still? The one in Disneyland doesn't even have one lol

I think it’s because it doesn’t operate reliably enough to support a standby. With VQ, when it breaks down, your boarding group is not called.

Yes it does break down when boarding groups and LLs are loading too, but think of the nightmare when it breaks down with a 90 min standby full of people.

There’s no evidence this line would reach a 90 minute standby.

The Disneyland version has been broken for 2 months and they haven’t even tried to fix it.

I can't make out what they're saying. So I'll fill in the blanks (forgive me, I think the recent weirdness of some of the other threads is rubbing off on me):

"It's so strange how our boss can only move when the logs in the river through the middle of our factory start floating towards her."

"Yes, and she keeps talking about how great those animals can play. Like, that's literally all she says. I'm a little concerned, because she ought to be discussing our company budget—how can we afford to let all these animals run loose in our food factory?"

"I know, right! The incident with the bear sniffing up all the powdered sugar a couple months ago...I don't think the lawsuits have been settled yet, but it's not gonna be cheap."

"Well, I ain't payin' for it. I say we charge the alligator that hangs around all day between his trumpet gigs. That in itself is weird, because alligators don't have lips!"

"Well, maybe we should get back to work."

"What are we even doing here, cooking? Packing food? Making beignets that will definitely not taste good by the time they get to where they're going?"

"That's true. Who in 1927 is bulk ordering crates of beignets to be shipped somewhere? It doesn't actually make sense. You know what, I quit."

"Me too. I'd say we could hitch a ride out of here on one of the company logs, but they're down for maintenance."

Broken animatronics yes (this is normal and expected in todays Disney), but they keep running guests through it.

I will thinking of breakdowns that stop the attraction from running guests through it.

Small thread bump, but the ride just had its worst operational performing day ever. The ride was closed for pretty much the entire day until 9:17pm due to technical issues.
Note park hours today for the MK was 9am - 10pm.

Only 40 BGs were called today, all at 9:17pm. This is the lowest maximum BG called in a single day.

The ride may as well just stayed closed today because doubt guests who obtained a BG from the morning 7am drop sticked out for the ride for its (extremely) delayed opening. Plus night and cold weather conditions.

The VQ for TBA ends in less than 5 days, so this doesn't bode well for a standby queue once the VQ is gone.

VQ stats for today and more:
gerarar said:
Final Day 243 Stats (2/20):
7am: 6.9 secs
1pm: 2387.5 secs, or ~40 mins

BG 40 (-176) is the last BG called for the day at 9:17pm.

Notable stoppages:
9:00am - 9:17pm

The ride did not open until within the last hour of regular park hours at 9:17pm.
This is the longest ever downtime the ride has had thus far since opening and the lowest maximum BG called in a day.

Average pace: None

VQ Drop Mean/Average:
7am: 38m -> 37m (-1m)
1pm: 1hr 8m -> 1hr 7m (-1m)

That does it for Day 243 of Tiana's Bayou Adventure!

Hopefully it was just a bad day and this isn't the norm as they take it off VQ

The VQ system ended today for TBA!
Standby line starts tomorrow Tuesday, February 25, 2025.

Scatterplot of every single VQ data point collected for the past 247 days, which includes soft opening/previews. The VQ system was initially supposed to be short-lived, but ended up lasting nearly 8+ months!

Here's my final update for it and wrap-up post:

Notable stoppages:

This is the longest ever downtime the ride has had thus far since opening.

Average pace: 5mins/BG

VQ Drop Mean/Average:
7am: 10m -> 12m (+2m)
1pm: 1hr 9m -> 1hr 20m (+11m)

And what was supposed to be short lived for the initial opening and 247 days later...that finally concludes the Tiana's Bayou Adventure Virtual Queue system and Boarding Group distribution!
It's been a pleasure to keep track of the VQ progress for the last 8 or so months.

The standby line will finally open tomorrow on February 25, 2025 for all guests, with the option of LLMP for an additional charge.

Some extra fun statistics:

7am drop
  • Quickest: Nov 5, 2024 with 0.91 secs.
  • Longest: Oct 9, 2024 with 5 hrs 30 mins
  • Highest Average of 37m on Thursdays
  • Lowest Average of 9m on Saturdays
1pm drop
  • Quickest: Aug 9, 2024 with 1.02 secs.
  • Longest: Jan 17, 2025 with 9 hrs 0 mins
  • Highest Average of 2hrs 6m on Saturdays
  • Lowest Average of 1hr 7m on Thursdays
Fun Facts:
  • There were no 6pm drops for EEH or parties (MNSSHP & MVMCP). The ride operated with a standby queue instead.
  • There was no morning 7am drop on Oct 10, 2024 and afternoon 1pm drops on Oct 9-10 due to Hurricane Milton park closures.
  • There were 6 days of AP previews. On day 5 of 6 (6/18/2024), the 1pm drop was cancelled due to extended downtime in the morning.
  • There were 247 days with a morning 7am drop and only 245 days with an afternoon 1pm drop.
Scatterplot of all the VQ drops for the last 247 days. Towards the end of the graph, both the 7am and 1pm drops were trending higher. Often times the afternoon 1pm drop would last through park closing.

Just got off the ride. It’s almost impressive how much has broken so quickly. I’ll just give my top two for “how is this acceptable.”

1) the Mama Odie projection above the final lift is dead. How a video is broken, I cannot imagine.
2) Tiana’s AA in the finale scene is frozen. Her head is just kind of bobbing.
