News TRON Lightcycle Run Virtual Queue and Lighting Lane status

[GhostHost1000]

Remember when we used to look forward to soft-openings as periods where there would basically be no lines because it wasn't scheduled?

Yeah, now you get to pay to play to be the guinea pig.

and it really wasn’t that great. I was kinda let down. Nice launch and lights but…other than speed and effects, slinky dog was more thrilling. Not kidding

How hard is it to get a VQ? Stressing by the 3 seconds . Does that count the entire process?? Over from UK in a few weeks and hope to ride this and guardians but worried I’ve sausage fingers

Thanks is there an idiots guide to press which buttons when?

 

[HauntedMansionFLA]

People were getting turned away if they missed their hour window return time. Don’t be late.

That is so silly.

That is so silly.

Agreed. What happens if you have an ADR?

Can’t be harder than it was when RotR opened and you had to Eb in the studios by 6am to login right at 7am for a VQ, lol. Those were the good old days.

I had heard they were considering such a policy. Reason given: guests will want to ride this at night and they can’t risk too many guests getting early BGs and then just showing up at 9 pm anyway. I guess that makes sense. We will see how it works in practice and if they stick with it.

I’m guessing they might allow some leeway if a guest complains about an ADR or transportation issue but probably no more than 30-60 minutes late. But yeah they will have to be fairly strict to ensure people don’t all come at night to ride.

Yes, proof of dining reservation is an valid excuse

Technically speaking he only recognized it

Charging for fast pass is such a money maker they must be kicking themselves why they didn’t do it sooner

Guests paid per ride when WDW first opened. They brought it back this time charging BIG money.

 

[Jstu]

do we have data on how long the ILL selections lasted this morning (day 2)

I am wondering if they will enforce this for Tron b/c otherwise people will wait until the evening to experience it with the lights, etc vs not really caring for something like Guardians where time of day doesn't really matter
