Yep, which is typically why it’s less stressful to snag.

The 6pm drop for guardians we couldn't get but we did get the 6pm drop for tron. Of course it went down so we didn't get to ride. At least we rode it once. We had the best luck with the 7am drops.
I will say, outside of the launch, Tron is a major fail in my book. I thought mine train was a disappointment from a ride length. At least it is well themed. Trons just a bunch of neon. No substance to the coaster and I was flabbergasted as to how short it was.

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.

The hype never equals the investment
But that’s the point…spend 5+ slow rolling “coming soon” when they should be adding/reinvesting on a 1,2,3 year schedule at all times…

Disney own's Simpsons now, so I guess it's not plagiarism.

The thing is that the train looks better as the new replacement and I’m glad the tron one is gone, get that ugly tron poster out from the train, yeah?

Wish they'd do, like, a much taller set of billboards with lattice underneath and lighting that mimics the lamps in other areas of Storybook Circus to help block the TRON show building. Something like the below image, but on a larger relative scale.

I don't think their was any hype for Iron after most people had watched the Shanghai videos.
Personally I preferred Tron as it felt more physical/real whereas GOTF disappointed me as I just felt like I was watching a movie on a 4D chair.

Whats the average time you spend in line for tron once your boarding group has been called for the VQ vs time in line for ILL? Trying to plan out if it would be better to pay for the ILL at 7am vs trying to get in the VQ at 7am

Are you going anytime soon? The virtual queue has been pretty good in the mornings recently (and especially in the afternoon 1pm drops).
I recommend to always try for the VQ then if you dont like you BG, can always purchase ILL later. If your BG is less than 30, you should have a pretty short wait in the first 2 hours of the park opening.

Not going until the second week of Oct. So still a few weeks out, but trying to get the decisions out of the way. I plan on watching the threads continuously until we get on the plane
