We are heading to Epcot tomorrow, and these numbers are insane. In a good way for a change. I don’t want to wake up early if I don’t have to.

Thank you to @gerarar for keeping us all up to date.

Is it time for this attraction to move to standby lines w/ ILL? On my last trip I was boarding group 2, entered attraction about 30 minutes after group was called and trains were going out half empty. Feel like they are losing out on capacity at this point.

I have a theory - the first two weeks of October seem (by park’s calendars) to be very busy. I think they are holding on until after October. I’m not sure what the advantages would be - less guests annoyed at the long stand by line??. It will be interesting to see!
For @gerarar ‘s sake - hoping it will be any day now. So thankful for his daily updates but don’t want to add another month and a half to his plate!

Haha! I kinda enjoy doing this everyday. It may sound weird, but it's a motivator to get up early some days (especially living central time while working EST time remotely), to check how the morning VQ drop is going, and then compile stats for the updates.

At this point, not really sure what they're waiting for. It's the least busiest time for the parks right now, ever since the ride opened in May. If they're anticipating crowds to go back up in about a month, keeping CR as VQ would only hurt the crowds more. Instead of absorbing 60+ mins lines of people, they're now spread throughout the parks doing whatever.

Appreciate you doing this. I'm assuming you'll do the same if Tron has a VQ??
