The thing is that the train looks better as the new replacement and I’m glad the tron one is gone, get that ugly tron poster out from the train, yeah?

Wish they'd do, like, a much taller set of billboards with lattice underneath and lighting that mimics the lamps in other areas of Storybook Circus to help block the TRON show building. Something like the below image, but on a larger relative scale.

I don't think their was any hype for Iron after most people had watched the Shanghai videos.
Personally I preferred Tron as it felt more physical/real whereas GOTF disappointed me as I just felt like I was watching a movie on a 4D chair.

Whats the average time you spend in line for tron once your boarding group has been called for the VQ vs time in line for ILL? Trying to plan out if it would be better to pay for the ILL at 7am vs trying to get in the VQ at 7am

Are you going anytime soon? The virtual queue has been pretty good in the mornings recently (and especially in the afternoon 1pm drops).
I recommend to always try for the VQ then if you dont like you BG, can always purchase ILL later. If your BG is less than 30, you should have a pretty short wait in the first 2 hours of the park opening.
Last 7 days:
Including today (9/6):

Not going until the second week of Oct. So still a few weeks out, but trying to get the decisions out of the way. I plan on watching the threads continuously until we get on the plane

Small thread bump, but thought this was worthy enough.
Tron has not opened yet for the day (2/4), even passed the 1pm drop today.This is the worst day operationally for the ride (there's not that many) since it opened last April.
Retracting this statement.
Sept 24, 2023 had 370 mins of downtime
June 12, 2023 had 392 mins of downtime
So Feb 4, 2024 is just one the rare days with 240+ mins of downtime. What makes it unique is the long delayed opening.

In a bit surprised it waited this long to start breaking down

It happens, rides break down.

Think this ride taught me that
A - Don't risk rides like this on an empty stomach, and
B - Motion sickness (especially when combined with hunger) gets worse as you start pushing 40
Ride kicked my butt, but it was really well done, and having it by Space Mountain to balance crowds somewhat ala how Thunder and Splash are supposed to do the same on the other side of the park is a good move.

Yes, same with me. Even with taking a Dramamene before the ride I still got motion sickness. Same thing happened with GotG the next day. My body occasionally reminds me that I'm not 25 anymore.
Both of those rides were a one and done for me. Kind of a shame since I got really good at the VQ microsecond timing to get a low number bg. I loved the competition doing that, my body apparently just doesn't love those types of rides

Stolen from the site that shall not be named, but looks like Disney is sending surveys to Magic Kingdom guests about their opinion on the virtual queue.
It may be soon coming to an end since they're probably in the early stages of deciding to keep the VQ or not before Tiana's Bayou Adventure comes along in a few months.
We are 350+ days into the VQ system for Tron, and in the past week-ish, the VQ has been relatively easy to get. Reports on Twitter also indicate that they are no longer being strict on return windows/times and accepting late scans.

I disagree, both do not have the hourly capacity to meet such demand.
Let people choose if they want to wait or buy an ILL or do a hybrid. VQ until 1 and then standby

Operations and staffing doesnt work that way.
I'm sure someone could figure it out. Easier to just run them like any other ride.
