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

[lewisc]

The downtime should get under control once Disney gets the B and C modes implemented.

Rode yesterday. First Tiana animatronic was already broken with her mouth not moving. Several timing issues throughout that they need to work on as well. Otherwise ride was decent.

I think they did do the 1pm drop I suppose, despite the delayed opening. This probably lasted less than a second.

Impossible. Drew promised us it worked flawlessly yesterday.

1pm drop lasted for 1.741 secs.
Saturday 1pm Drop Average: 1.7s -> 1.7s (+0)

Up to BG 17 called at 1pm, 35 less than yesterday.

What’s the point if a virtual queue if there is a hour 1/2 long line once your number is called

It takes awhile to position the strobe lights

I know, right?

Especially as we know from the DAS thread some cannot reliably wait that long in a line.

Surely some of those posters who scoff at 20 min waits went right to GR and declined their G+/LL access to the ride as too cumbersome

Does anyone know how long the G+ drop lasted today?

Around an hour today. Although it seems like people are dropping their LL's and availability is popping up every so often.

The 7am drop lasted an hour?

Between Tiana's downtime and Pirates', I'm not sure what Park Ops is going to do with this side of the park when BTMRR goes down for a year.

That's ... ~5,500 guests/hour in throughput? It'd be like losing almost all of classic Fantasyland:

• Peter Pan = 1,000/hour
• Small World = 1,300/hour
• Winnie the Pooh = 1,000/hour
• Regal Carrousel = 400/hour
• Princess Fairytale Hall = 500/hour
• Most of PhilharMagic = 1,200/hour

Am I not mathing the math there?

Oh.... my..... god.....

Does it still count as an animatronic if it’s broke and no longer moves?

Genie+ Lightning Lane Availability

Genie+ Lightning Lane Availability

That's a lot better than yesterday. But being that they are on on BG 19 - 24 at 2:18pm I don't think it'll really matter.

Well the VQ is only intended as a ticket to get into the standby line.

Well the VQ is only intended as a ticket to get into the standby line.

Indeed.

And with both LL and ILL which are "by appointment" passes, a temporary shut-down can back up both those lines.

This was true with FP+, too. A temporary shutdown could make a FP+ line become more than 30 minutes or longer.

VQ has an advantage in that in can stop calling groups if they're a back-up. But, that still means there's a back-up.

I wonder if they are filming any reactions today with the ride being down?

"Wow, didn't this ride just open this week?"

*walks away while shaking head*

 

[gerarar]

Ride is down again at 3:14pm with BG 32.

Not a good second day..
