I really don’t think it’s a fair comparison. Maybe if they stripped the logs to simple metal shells you’d have a point?

And I’m all about the details, but this is a nothing story. It’s so small, so barely noticed, truly a detail not worthy of complaint for being removed.

The logs are still themed, and fit the story just as well.

And if we think about it, just why are we riding in carved out logs anyway?
Would Tiana have carved out logs ready for us at the bayou?
If so, would she go through the trouble to have animal head carvings adorning the bows?

More importantly, what is it about the stress of running a food co-op that turned a beautiful, thin young girl into a middle aged woman overnight?

Your own charts (thank-you, BTW!) show that TRON rarely has a day when both the morning and afternoon lotteries are both less than 20 seconds.

Why do you think TRON still needs the VQ, especially when it's pretty likely that TBA will be getting the VQ treatment?

The morning drops only recently started lasting >5 seconds since like March, which indicative of less demand/crowds at the parks, somewhat of a "slow" period.

At this point I think the only reason the VQ is being kept for Tron is due to ILL. It usually sells out everyday, which is a good thing. However you could also look at the inverse and see that the return times for ILL is usually within an hour, which could also indicate there isn’t much demand for it. If they remove the VQ, does that hurt or help ILL sales? Maybe they don't want to pull the trigger and stick with the status quo for now and wait for an actual need to switch it (TBA).

I do think that once TBA opens, Tron will lose its VQ and go to standby. But I've said this a couple times before for GOTG: CR, and that still has VQ..

I think TBAs opening is a logical time to switch the VQ but the harder calculus is: does TRON keep ILL with SDMT going to Genie or vice-versa?

SDMT has higher ILL demand and sells out faster for the day than Tron. Due to this, I believe Tron will move to Genie+ and SDMT will stay as ILL along with TBA. It will also boost G+ sales during the off-season (like right now) imo..

I wonder how much is tied to guest satisfaction STATs. I mean look at it as an offering for the guest that visit once within a five-year period. They need to ride the 'new' stuff. They are giving to chance to ride the new shinny things by scheduling a return time (similar to how FP+ worked) or if they miss their chance in the lottery, they can buy a return time.

Not sure if there is any logic from that sort of view, but I can see why they would want offer a 'free' return time option (VQ) for their newest attractions as well as an individual purchase option.

I would think that ILL sales would rise if standby exists as an option (as long as the ride is popular enough to be bringing people to the park in the first place) but by having to VQ option, a guest that is planning could see they have a good chance of seeing the new attractions at a scheduled time.
