Well we got group 83 this morning. Is that a record for highest group in the morning lol? Considering the last two days have finished 86 and 80 we’re not feeling too confident.

 

[DCBaker]

Groups began being called at 9:40am (1-10).

It’s always one step forward, five steps back with this ride.

Does anyone have any news of progress with this ride’s maintenance/reliability?

We’re nearing the anniversary of this attraction and it’s harder to get on it now than it was a year ago.

I really hope they are trying things out at DLR RotR. With the park shut down for the foreseeable future it seems like a golden opportunity to work on programing and sensor issues without fearing the need to open back up at 10am. I'm sure there are minor differences between the two rides, but lessons learned should be able to carry over to DHS.

It’s been down/queue empty for around an hour so far. Got to 32-40.

2pm slots filled in ~6 seconds. Current groups called up to 49 (11 more groups than yesterday).

90 is the last group of the night, called around 6:40pm (10 groups more than yesterday).

 

[JT308]

Group 83 got called around 6. About an hour on to off with muppets extended queue. Everything working, except the 2nd and 3rd cannons.

12pm - groups have yet to begin being called today.

Still surprised on-site guests are not given a (slight) advantage over off-site tickets either. Why not release a block of boarding groups exclusive to on site guests at 6:45 - would that work or just make issues more complicated? Unsuccessful efforts forfeit the opportunity to grab a group at 7 but can try again at 2? This is slowly turning in to the Haley's Comet of attractions.

Groups began being called at 12:10pm (1-4).

 

[DCBaker]

2pm slots filled in ~5 seconds. Current groups called up to 31 (18 groups less than yesterday).

Realistically, if the ride started running at noon, is anyone in the 2 pm group going to get to ride?

Supposedly evac'd about an hour ago. That's sure to cause a bump in the road for the day.

I’m not saying I have a solution, but visiting for multiple days with a park hopper, I knew if I didn’t get a reservation I could try the next day. To have only one possible shot on a 4 day 4 park ($$$) Disney vacation seems particularly cruel.

 

[DCBaker]

67 is the last group of the night, called around 6:30pm (23 groups less than yesterday).

If you have a group number and it's not called, are you just out of luck now?

I mean you have 2 chances per day. Guest Experiences team are very generous (if you're pleasant to talk to) to give everyone in your party a group even if you mistakenly booked only yourself.

I have never failed to board a group. I just make sure to update the app beforehand, close/shutdown all apps in your phone and only the Disney app is opened. It works fine.

well obviously everyone who tries to get a BG isn’t getting one.
