We are 36 too... Waiting waiting

No wait I'm 32. Waiting to see it tick up to 36. Lol 5am wake up call is starting to wear on me.

Well, we went back to the resort for a nap and snacks and such.
we’ve got plans for AK this afternoon that are now going to be pretty complicated with the ride going down pretty close to our BG- 43
Hoping they keep the 2 hour return window all day.

I'm with the group that says they're cutting back on the number of comp tickets and FP's they have to give out.

When and what are the comp tickets they give out? Are FPs for the next day or two?

 

[Vondigo]

I hear cheering. Hope those are cheers of ride starting

Edit: Line is moving!

ok I jumped the gun. Ride is still down. They’re estimating another 45 mins. We took the pass to come back later and got out of the queue

Thanks for the update! Heading to Epcot with this intel..

Got in the queue at 11:10. Announcement at 11:27 that ride is down. Missing our SDD FP. Snack time...

I hope you are able to get your SDD FP moved because of the breakdown and being stuck in line.

We’re group 67 today. Worried it isn’t looking good for us. Eek.

Does anyone know the nature of the breakdowns? Are they software? Hardware? They will probably never release the info at least not until they do a behind the scenes special 50 years from now.

Yeah, Disney doesn't release that info

Boarding group 35 and only 35 now. What does that mean clearing everyone out of the line to shut it down?

I wonder if the line is even moving now.

RotR presented by lays chips and chiquita bananas

Disney may have to pay Lays to design SW packaging for the chips if this keeps up.

It's closed right now

Question. If we get to like 5 or 6 o’clock and the ride is either down or recovering very slowly and not to our group, would it be unreasonable to go to a GET and (politely) explain we have a paid event in another park and ask if it would be possible to get a return pass to try again tomorrow?

 

[mandis77]

Still waiting. At Oga's drowning sorrows. Lol.

Snagged boarding group 5 this morning. Ride delayed opening until 7:41 am, I remember this because I received the “your boarding group has been called” before the cast members at the entrance were notified that the ride was open. They asked around for a minute then someone came up and told them it was open so they let us through. Had no issues with the ride and we were off by 8:07. Both my BF and I were not on Wifi. He had the app open and was refreshing and I opened the app 10 seconds before 7 am, clicked on my status at exactly 7 on the dot and was able to join a boarding group immediately. BF’s join a boarding group option never loaded. Hope this helps.

I have Boarding Group 50. Watching this page since I have no other status updates other than the push notification from MDE that it’s down. Heading back to resort for awhile. Hoping...!

 

[Good&Plenty]

Good luck to everyone today! Waiting for our HS (8AM!) day of 2/4 - it will be very interesting to see the effects of an 8AM opening. We have two very early risers (8.5yo and 6.5yo) and since this is the first (I think?) 8AM opening for HS, we plan on arriving around 6:30AM and....camping out.

Is anyone else headed there on 2/4? Thoughts on timing? We are pretty "get everywhere early" people and would rather arrive too early than on-time/late. Will be reporting back to this thread on 2/4 with hopefully good news!

 

[Grumpy by Birth]

Was monitoring today for fun ... back-up groups in 44 seconds at 7:00:44

They're going faster and faster it seems. I need to keep practicing to get my time down by a few more seconds!

36 just called - 2 hours to return
