News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind Virtual Queue and Lightning Lane status

[Ripken10]

Final Day 98 Stats (9/1):
7am: 5541.7 secs, or ~1 hr 32 mins
1pm: 254147.5 secs, or ~6 hours 59mins

BG 197 (+7) is the last BG called for the day.

Average pace: 3-4mins/BG

VQ Drop Mean/Average:
7am: 13.3s -> 8m (+7m)
1pm: 1hr 3m -> 1hr 28m (+25m)

Note: Now that we are passed Day 98, we should expect the standby announcement to come any day now. Rat went to standby on a Monday, so if Disney wants the same for CR, that would land on Labor Day. Doesn't seem as likely as crowds flock to WDW for the holiday weekend. However, anytime after Sept 5 would be fair game, imo.
Also, the VQ drop was open for the longest period today since opening, breaking Tuesday's record!

That does it for Day 98 of GotG: CR!

I thought Labor Day weekend typically tends to be less crowded. Parents less likely to take kids out of school at beginning of year. I know I have gone on Labor Day weekend before and it felt less crowded. Crowd levels on touring plans looks about avg for a September weekend (real low for Labor Day Monday and overall weekend looks low compared to any other weekend in year). Dvc points chart is lowest for Labor Day weekend then any other time of the year

Hmm I guess you're right. I guess I think opposite of the general public haha. I'll edit my post then.

I would actually expect a callback around 3pm (given no extreme downtime). The estimated time doesn't take into account the 20 BG's that are called immediately right at park open, for some reason.

 

[SingleRider]

I got group 1 this morning, rode about 30 minutes past park open, and had a train to myself because I was the first one down the ramp after the preshow and they couldn’t sort anyone else in line after me before they had to send the train.

[doctornick]

Would be nice to allow standby on a whim when that happens. Might not be a bad idea for someone in the park to stop by the ride in the hour before closing and see if you’d be let on.

 

[gerarar]

Must be a lot of no shows, because they actually called BGs past 8pm last night..

[MagicFantasmic]

I got a lightning lane earlier so now I’m using virtual queue and they just announced a delay. I’m hoping it will be a semi short one. Everyone is sitting down.

They are losing money on Individual Lightning Lane here.
