News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

Interesting! I didn’t think there would be any left on the day.

I side with everyone that this is actually not a hard attraction to access. On party nights it was a walk on. Temp obviously was a factor.

I imagine they are just holding out until Christmas is over at this juncture. But because it’s easy to access, the opposite applies, no one who wants to go on this attraction is really being shut out.

I think they are afraid of opening standby because the attraction is simply not reliable enough.

They might have to fork out a few fast passes if it goes down with guests in line?
Times have changed if they dumped a queue I was in I just went on to the next thing with all the other dumpees now people expect something for it.
Consequence of making the per minute price to be there so high I guess

I thought we had gotten to a point that reliability wasn't the issue anymore, and the downtime shown on the VQ thread was mainly tied to rain events.

As one who tracks the VQ data, there's been a noticeable uptick in downtime over the past month or two. It's getting worse from a reliability perspective imo.

Just today it was closed from 10:30am - 4:28pm for an extended closure. That's abnormal and not per usual.

Not following closely enough then. Thanks for clarifying!

There were none at the start, but some availability dropped.

Sometimes I think people who pre-booked it modify to another tier 1 when they score the VQ in the morning or at 1pm.

I'm inclined to disagree. All attractions break down here and there. Sure, TBA breaks down more than others, but the VQ system gives the guest a sense of entitlement (despite the terms of Virtual Queue saying that having a boarding group is not a guarantee to ride -- no one reads that). When they secure a VQ and the queue they are in gets cleared out due to a downtime, they will be more angry than if they just queued up normally.

Good point.

If I win the Tiana lottery and my return time is 6 hours away and I wait the six hours and it goes down I am more angry than if I just jumped in the standby at random and it went down.

My thinking is was I assume the required throughput is higher when stand by is open and there could be even worse and more bad guest experiences.
