News Tiana's Bayou Adventure Virtual Queue and Lighting Lane status

[uncle jimmy]

I hit refresh about 5 or 4 seconds before 1 and got a boarding got in the 80's. Don't hit refresh at 1, but slightly before 1pm.
Got called around 4:30 ish and we walked right thru the queue, no wait.
Got soaked! So entertaining and beautifully done!

Did FEA have downtime like this when it first entered previews? Did any new ride experience anything like this?

FEA broke down all the time until they adjusted the timing between scenes slowing things down a bit IIRC

 

[Starship824]

Hopefully with the week they don't have previews they can really work out everything cause this is really bad...

FEA also didn’t have previews. It just opened, probably because it wasn’t actually ready but a date had already been announced.

Fire alarm e-stopped the ride today at 10:11am and they had called up to group 26.

We did our AP preview yesterday, group 79 around 4:30PM, it was a walk-on, I was very surprised. Loved the ride!

No, there were media previews scheduled but...umm, that week was really bad for the Orlando area.

I pressed refresh exactly at 1pm because the Disney clock is perfectly in sync with the Global time clock, which also is in sync with my Apple Watch, which I use watch face that counts the seconds. I got group 79. I think maybe the time method you are using to to by is slightly off, because it definitely doesn't open up seconds before 1pm, unless they changed something.

This is a great look with the official opening in 10 days.

A push alert has been reportedly sent out saying the 1pm Virtual Queue will not be available today:

We were in the same boarding group lol
Bizzare I hit refresh at 12:59:56ish (using my Garmin that uses same global time)and as it refreshed at 1pm it came right up. Sorry if it sounded like I said it came up before 1pm, what I stated was I hit refresh right before 1pm. The queue opened for me at 1p.

Disney has updated My Disney Experience to note the boarding group distribution is complete for the day:

Wow that's a first.

I've never seen a VQ window drop cancelled just like that.

 

[gerarar]

1pm drop lasted for 0 secs.
Tuesday 1pm Drop Average: 0s -> 0s (+0)

Up to BG 26 called at 1pm, 1 less than yesterday.

The afternoon VQ drop was cancelled today due to extended downtime.

This has certainly been a very challenging preview period. The ride has really shown no signs of any reliability improvement since the first day for the CM preview. They have ten days left to get it into shape - will be interesting to see if they can do it.

 

[monothingie]

Putting aside my opinion on TBA. Objectively it seems like the longer this has been out there, the less reliable it’s gotten.

 

[dreamfinding]

I am attending the D23 event on Saturday night. They were very adamant in the advertising that we would get to ride as much as we want. As we draw closer, I’m not sure what that is going to look like.
