If number of people in groups has remained the same, we are definitely seeing the ride perform worse, not better. The only other factors I see is the hour later open, and starting groups at ~10 or so fewer (starting at group 3 instead of 12)

Overall it isn’t getting better. Early January still had the best day.

No idea. I’m not going off boarding groups ;)

Roger. But what you're saying is in line with BGs staying the same. Magic Feather hinted that the size isn't the same as it used to be, but I see no reason why it would change except to possibly stop people from seeing capacity/throughput.

When you say the “from scratch method”...what EXACTLY did you do?
Click to expand...

close everything, reboot phone, turn off WiFi/Bluetooth and don’t load MDE until the clock🕰 hits 8am (or whatever time park opens that day)

@Demarke method is same thing BUT you load MDE 2-3 minutes prior and sit at main screen and don’t click FIND MORE INFO until park hits opening time.

each method has its fans and has proved effective at getting good/early BG 🤩🤩🤩

So, DHS has +30k visitors a day, right? How many out of that +30k try for boarding groups, and how many "people" are average to ride the the RotR per day? Is that info anywhere? Just curious to see if Disney is doing a good job yet, or is it even possible with this ride type.

@DisneyPirate123 , since the lottery system has been in place I have used the FROM SCRATCH METHOD 5x and obtained groups:

25, 21, 131, 13, 18

Loading app early and sitting on main screen used last 3 visits and obtained:

22, 11, 14

Take into consideration that depending upon the day, boarding groups start at any # they want (1 or 2 or 10 or 13, whatever). On Saturday it started at 13, so technically I got a 2 🤩

Do you open exactly on the hour, or a few second before? My app takes too long to load for me to risk the former.

Right on the hour. Once or twice I've opened maybe 2 seconds earlier and it's been fine, once I did it about 5 seconds early and had to restart it again. My app only takes about 5 seconds to load. I think others with >10 seconds per load have been factoring that into when they initiate the open.

I still think it's better to be 5 seconds "late" than too early and needing to restart the whole thing.
