Will be interesting to see how this affects the rope drop dynamic. A lot less pressure on SDMT I’d guess

Don’t think it was #2…plenty of empty spots to get food and merch these days

You can likely almost guarantee to get on it at night with a 30 minute wait during fireworks (which isn't really any different from the wait you got from your assigned VQ).

That’s a bit of a blow. And puzzling too.FYI…

So, this is now going to cause a damned stampede when the huge crowds are let past the rope at 9am!!
Can Disney not do ANYTHING right? What brainbox thought not letting its resort guests onto the most popular ride during early entry? And instead have to be part of a stampede with non- resort guests at 9am.

Not really how rope drop works anymore, people are calmy walked through multiple stops until opening. I’m sure there’s a new method toward Tron.
Not
Not really.
Take 7D at MK..yes, you calmly walk through various areas at rope drop, but inevitably come to a stop (at the final area where the staff stop you) this area becomes packed full of people on the run up to area opening time, waiting for the area to be opened...then once it is, it's a stampede to the rIde entrance.

Resort guests can get in line before the rush from the Hub.
It should be possible to ride Space and then get to Tron before the crowds arrive. Others will go straight there and just wait.
It really should be open for early entry though.
Will they allow people to filter in the queue when they've stated Tron will not be open during early entry to resort guests?

What do you mean by filter in the queue? They can’t stop an unofficial queue forming just outside where they block it off.

I’m sure it will join early entry later but I think it would be unwise to have it on early entry right at the very start of it having standby. The CMs need time to adjust for one thing, and they also need to be able to see what the plan of attack for opening it in the morning is. They would not get an accurate view of that with early entry off the bat. It will be weened off EE closure eventually but this is for now the right move.
Exactly...so there becomes a huge congregation of hundreds of people up against where the staff block the walkway...THEN once this is opened there is a full on stampede to the rIde.
Why they cant just open the ride queue when early park entry starts so everyone who wants to get on Tron gets in a first come first served basis rather than whoever is fastest or barges past others the most
Not sure why that makes a difference.
The safest way is to have a steady filtered flow of people making their way into the queue line (rather than a stampede)
The BEST way of doing this is the actually entrance to the park itself. The steady flow is caused by everyone having to scan their magicbands at the entrance, so there is always that few seconds gap in between every entering guests. By congregating hundreds of people in a holding area (which gets more and more packed the closer to rope drop) and someone saying, "we are now open"..just causes an unnecessary stampede...people running, barging and heaven forbid someone falls over.
Not opening Tron at early entry is potentially going to create quite a few issues.
I remember back in the old times when Frozen Ever After opened. Dozens trampled to death at rope drop. What a tragedy.

I favor “running with bulls” style.
I miss the days of running at your own risk at rope drop. Great times!!
At least Tokyo somewhat still does it—— a bit watered down these days but it’s still there.

I haven’t ridden tron yet. I heard it’s short but is it good?
