They gave the log a red card

Red tagged ones may sink and are saved for Standby. Genie+ gets you an unsinkable log.

Sign of the times…..?
Things are a bit different now with Disney when it comes to things like this.
Not too long ago I remember Imagineers were ‘annoymous’.

You are correct. The logs are dispatching at 100% efficiency right now with no guests delaying the boarding process, so they are stopping at the top until the previous log passes the sensor at the splashdown area. It's neat to see the process without guests and delays.
Keep in mind that VQ is the substitute for Standby. It's free. No one-time purchase. No need to buy Genie+. Just like Standby.
Only, it is a *scheduled* Standby. This keeps it from become a 2-4 hour ordeal (or allows them to quickly clear out the queue if the ride goes down).
It seems, as far as I can gleam, that initially, there will be VQ in place of Standby, along with Genie+ 'fastpasses.' (Genie+ costs extra).
Then, after "a few days" (a week?, a month?) the VQ will be replaced by standard Standby, along with Genie+.
Kinda surprised that they'll use Genie+ and not ILL.

Agree….things were running very smooth.
I watched for about half an hour, it was interesting.
Good to see the logs moving again, as it really does add additional kinetic energy to the area.

My gut feeling is the ride will be on VQ the first few days only but will move to standby very quickly. I’d be surprised if it’s still on VQ headed into the first eligible EEH night (Wednesday).
They could also move to standby for EEH, but I think it just makes it more complicated.

I wonder how the attraction’s variable demand - Especially at night or when it’s colder - is a factor in making this standby and G+.

I actually saw a whopper from one called “Disney Dining“ yesterday that was something along the lines of “Major New Disney Ride Deemed Unsafe for Children!”
I won’t bury the lede—the story was that TBA has a 40” height requirement. Like Splash.

I just chatted with them to modify my hotel reservations. They essentially said, you have to pick TBA or Tron or buy ILL/G+ if you want to ride both. While also saying neither are guaranteed (which I already know). But also said the standby queue will come shortly after the opening but no date is verified when this will happen. I think when enough people start complaining that they couldn't ride TBA and Tron because they couldn't get into the lottery for either than a change will come.

If TBA is to go VQ+ILL would that push 7DMT into the G+ realm?
