Not sure if these could be accomplished in a month and a half, but my personal wish list:
  • Automatic speed control of boats/Alert if a boat ahead is stopped
    • My boat almost crashed into the one ahead of it while I was riding, there was a breakdown ahead and our skipper was facing towards the boat telling a joke. We rounded a corner to a stopped boat and almost hit it (the boat in front had to move up and we had to yell to the boat behind us to stop)
  • Reconfigure the seating on the boat
    • Boast Capacity, reduce load/unload time
  • Reconfigure the load/unload station for higher throughput
    • Extend toward the shed and have 2 load and 1 unload to boost capacity.

Not sure what you’re suggesting. That I’m lying?

I’m saying during our trip, on every MK day, we rode TBA twice. Just my personal experience.

Anywho, the parks are kinda dead. I’m sure it’ll be ok without JC.

  • Change the motor to electric and pipe in a less loud engine noise. So often I can't hear the Skipper from the back of the boat.

I'm suggesting you had a good experience while you were there and good for you but there are some who might have a little more knowledge about it long-term. And this could be a problem while JC is down affecting guest capacity on other rides.

I don’t know what to tell you, man. All of my friends that work and have been there have said it’s been doing much better and have ridden it more than once a day and you’ve got someone else in this thread telling you the same thing.

Does it go down once or twice or more a day? Yeah, it does. Went down today, and is down currently with about a dozen other rides across the resort. Rides go down every single day. They’re only reporting on Tiana’s because it’s new and had a rough opening but it’s up time has been vastly improved.

I dunno either. This forum has consistently been reporting on extended downtimes. I only bring it up in this thread because with JC under refurbishment and Tiana allegedly down (if reports are to be believed), they're going to have a capacity problem as guests shift to other attractions.

Tracking the ride everyday (over in the VQ thread), I would say the uptime has either remained the same since opening/previews or slightly worse.

Having a delayed opening is almost a guarantee now everyday. This can last anywhere from 30+ mins to a couple hours.

An early close is like 70/30. And that would be like multiple hours.

A mid-day breakdown and closure is pretty much a 50/50 now. This can last anywhere from an hour to multiple hours. And I exclude weather-related closures from this. But another thing I've noticed is that sometimes TBA has trouble reopening from a weather-closure. Like an hour or more than other outdoor rides like BTMR and 7DMT.

I think the presence of a VQ mitigates the impact of the closures. I’m sure they’ll keep the VQ until it’s more reliable. Honestly, TRON is a better option to open up the standby and pull guests across the park (especially once BTMRR goes down). We will see what they do, though. I never would’ve guessed Guardians would still have a VQ now.

Maybe Guardians is on the 5-year VQ plan? 🤷‍♂️ And you aren't the only one who wonders why it and Tron are both still using VQ.

You misspelled "the parks are as busy as ever". Not sure why you'd lie and try to mislead people that the parks are slow right now or something... ;) :D
