What has been the typical virtual queue experience for people. Once you check in, how long are guests typically waiting in the standby line?
I also expected this to drop Virtual Queue once Thunder goes down, but it doesn't appear they're going to do that on the same day.

Is there any evidence Tony Baxter has experienced this attraction at WDW or DL?

Once our group was called today, we stood in the line for roughly 30ish minutes, but it moved pretty continuously.
Well, with its next door neighbor now down for a while, hope Tiana's can operate smoothly, because if not Frontierland will be a ghost town once ROA and BTMRR are down at once.

Finally got to ride this today. After spending so much time defending the (correct) decision to remove Splash and using POVs to really try and get a feel of it, it was an important moment for me on a curiosity level.
After seeing so much of the vitriol on here, I honestly did start to feel maybe I was gonna be let down. I had defended what I’d seen but what if, truly, in person it just doesn’t measure up and was not worth it? I’m very relieved to say my eyes didn’t deceive me from watching the POVs.
I loved this thing.
Loved the music, loved the aesthetic, the animatronics were impressive, and the whole thing just had a really nice and positive energy. Everyone I rode with in my logs was smiling and commenting along the way on things that impressed them. And outside the ride where I waited to people watch some, it was families talking about what a good time they had, and a few little girls particularly thrilled they got to see Tiana.
It isn’t perfect, no. Pacing is off indeed and indeed the story isn’t super clear (I maintain Splash’s wasn’t either). But the imperfections didn’t hold it down for me at all. I vastly prefer the aesthetics of the bayou and the fireflies to the aesthetic of Splash, so even in the somewhat quiet parts, I was loving what I saw.
There are a few things here and there I think could’ve (and should’ve) been tweaked, but overall I’m a very satisfied two time rider, as is my big Splash Mountain fan of a mom.
I’d hand it a solid 8/10. Will be hitting this every time I’m at the Magic Kingdom.

It had a great day today from what I can tell. If it ever went down (maybe it did, I wasn’t looking much as we went through the park), it didn’t go down long.

Rode this over the holidays. With the exception of the final Tiana animatronic in the party scene, every single Tiana animatronic did not have its mouth moving when it spoke.
I agree that it’s a decent ride, just a shame that they can’t seem to ever have it working properly.

It seems that most of the people who like the attraction are those who were on board with the retheme from the start. Coincidence?

People can always pop into Frontierland to take some shots at the shooting gal.....oh, wait. Never mind.
Country Bears are about to have back problems from carrying Frontierland

Good point. After everything that is being worked on is closed/walled off, I assume country bears will be in high demand. I presume all shows will fill up now and there may even be a standby queue for country bears,
It will be interesting to see what happens.

I suspect this has to do with reliability issues (ride availability as well as AA reliability within the attraction when it is “working”). Certainly not how they planned Frontierland to be going while they take down BTMRR and start doing away with ROA.
