2026 Summer Virtual Series

[Herding_Cats]

Registration opens on 4/7 (10am Eastern)

Pricing last year was $58/single or $180/challenge and DID sell out (on the first day iirc)

If they reveal themes 2 weeks before registration, that puts it on next Tuesday.

Do they use the same queue system as the race weekends?

yes

Someone was asking about this on reddit so i’ll just say that although it certainly won’t be as insane as a regular race registration, if you’re interested in these I would treat it like a regular registration if possible rather than putting it off and risking it selling out. Not a lot of posts on this last year but from what i remember the individual medals sold out fairly quickly and the challenge sold out last?

Definitely depends on what they do with these. Attraction themes were great last year.

So I went back and looked. 2 of the individual events sold out in about an hour. Challenge was updated on here as sold out 22 days after opening. There was also a lot of chatter about it being the 10th anniversary, people loved the themes, the medals were cool, etc.

Themes were teased… it’s a retro/throwback theme idk what the individual themes will be and what will be challenge though

Yep they're back to the early 90s, I think they had teased this a bit at MW with the logo?

I was solidly NOT going to do any more virtuals. Then they had to bring back Hercules. And Kuzko. Crap.

Also had zero plans to ever do a virtual but Pocahontas and Goofy Movie… ooof idk if I can resist that.

Mentally I’m like I don’t need to drop $ on virtuals on the other I’m like well I got shut out of mw & W&D so if I can get through the queue and it’s not sold out before I need to clock in on the 7th… F it …

From a PW perspective it's interesting that Pocahontas is featured here, hasn't been a PW theme since 2020 and could have been an option for next year but maybe that's not happening.

It makes me sad bc I love that movie so much for what it is as a standalone art piece, but fully recognize that Pocahontas, as a real person, is not the easiest princess to market from a culturally sensitive standpoint.

Any chance these will be progressive distances? LOVE all four of the teased characters.
