To me until you click "join group" past the family and friends screen and get the error you're not in the park you're really not using any more bandwidth on the app than if you were looking for a Space Mountain fastpass.
How many do you think were there on a Wednesday morning that have ridden more than once this week? The problem isn’t the guests that want to ride. It’s that they’ve seemingly cut capacity of guaranteed groups in half.
It has capacity and reliability issues. One can (theoretically) be fixed, the other can't. Until it is fixed, they should limit availability. Once you ride it, you are not eligible until 7 days from the day you rode.
The attraction isn't working as efficiently as possible. That's the issue, not the Virtual Queue.
What you suggest doesn't actually fix the problems ROTR has. It just puts a bandaid on it to cover up the true issues that need to be resolved by Disney. Guest blaming and even more restrictions aren't the answer in my opinion, and doesn't explain why groups have declined drastically the past month.
Right, I agree it doesn't fix the reliability problem. It does fix the accessibility problem. It gives access to people who cannot gain access since it is "sold out" in 30 seconds until they fix the reliability. I think this is very reasonable and does not alienate any groups. I am willing to bet a great deal of people are repeat riders
I just don't see Disney restricting it that much. There are already complaints you have to be there at open. Now Disney is going to tell someone they can only ride once in their every other year 7 day stay?
Something needs to be done. This system right now is not working because of the unreliability. Until they fix it, they need to do something. I think they realized this and that's why they started surveying people. I 100% think they should keep the BG system, but they need to change some things until they are consistently getting 150 BG's per day
All this panic didn't start to set in until they pushed the open time back and hour and then made 62 the new normal. If they put one or both of those things back to how they were I'm sure everyone would feel a lot better.
A lot on weekdays, not a lot on weekends.
I agree that should be part of the solution. What about the 9am opening times still scheduled for Easter week? Imagine if that stays as is (which is shouldn't)?
