Is this really still needed? I get it at Tiana's with all the downtime, but aren't TRON and Cosmic Rewind decent enough from a reliability standpoint?

I had seen some speculation online that the standby queues aren't large enough to accommodate a traditional standby line but I have no idea if that's valid.

I had seen some speculation online that the standby queues aren't large enough to accommodate a traditional standby line but I have no idea if that's valid.

The outdoor VQ queue (aka the future standby) before the touchpoints only holds like 15-20 mins worth of guests.

Anything beyond that is outside the canopy structure and under the elements. When we were in line for the VQ on Saturday 8/31, it started pouring. All the un-canopy switchbacks were drenched with rain, including my party and I. At least we had ponchos, couldn't say the same for everyone around us.

The Tron CMs went and closed the umbrellas covering this portion of the queue since it has to for weather.

But all-in-all, the actual outdoor portion of the queue could probably hold 45-60 mins of guests. The indoor queue after the reveal room and before the lockers is like another 15-20 mins wait.

This should’ve happened in the summer. That and a single riders line would’ve been good too.
