I am constantly wondering why they don't do random lottery for these things. If you want to ride you have until park opening to put your party in the pot. Then at 1 minute after opening the system randomly picks parties. Those that get picked are randomly assigned times. You then have 1 hour to accept your time or scan in (if you time is in the morning) to accept your slot. If you don't accept the slot the open slots get put into a 2nd drawing that happens later in the day. If you are staying on property they could add weight to your party to increase your odds of your party getting picked. They could even attach the lottery system to the reservation system, if you get picked but it coincides with a reservation it would slot you in to the next best time so that your meals aren't impacted. There is so much they can do to make this thing easier on guests using technology that would not be difficult.

Because if it’s a lottery then you can be annoyed that it came down to luck. The current system puts the blame (or the success) on the guest! I’m not defending it but people are much happier when they feel like fate is in their own hands.

What’s your technique these days? I used to be great at this, but it looks different this time, and it seemed like as soon as I hit the refresh button at 7am sharp it said it was closed. I can’t imagine how they are still comfortable with this system screwing over their many uninformed and highly-paying guests.

My only consolation is that I had the opportunity to ride it a bunch of times a few nights ago. If it weren’t for that, I’d be heartbroken.
