wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that's insane!!! is there no one in the park today?

.

There’s a hard ticket event tonight. Usually when there are hard ticket events day time crowds tend to be lower.

WHAT? An hour and 24 minutes open and STILL backup groups available? I am at work and just checked randomly.
This is crazy. Crazy awesome!

Did anyone find out at what number the backup groups started?

App wait times would suggest this is the case.

I will repeat that it is a Wednesday morning, February 12, and the park opened early and closes early today.

Looks like it’s going to be a very, very low attendance day, but that honestly isn’t surprising given the circumstances.

They won’t put that number up until backups are gone.

Regular BGs lasted like 7 minutes today. It was unreal.

The hard ticket event is a sweetheart's night.

yes, i just scrolled back to when the line first opened and saw that it lasted 7 minutes..
how amazing!!!
well, i won't be visiting DL on a wednesday, so no hope of hitting such a great low crowd, but totally cool to see it happen!!!

just noticed you wrote what the event is....for valentines day.....

[disneyholic family]

i've never considered the possibility of going to the park on a hard ticket day, but it kinda makes sense that the park would be less crowded during the day..
i'll have to take that into my planning in the future..

I do not understand this ride at all.

1. The park is closing early today.
2. An Hour & Half After Opening, Backup Groups Still Available.
3. Ride Not Yet Open

 

[thedarksyde]

9:40 ride still is down.

 

[disneyholic family]

9:40 ride still is down.

and yet they're still giving out back up BGs at one hour and 40 minutes......how strange

.

 

[ironband74]

Now boarding Group 10.

 

[thedarksyde]

Just got called for boarding group 10.

 

[disneyholic family]

and now at 1 hour and 43, i'm no longer getting a red button
and the message is they've reached capacity

 

[ironband74]

Backups are now gone. 81 and up are backups.

Are you a secret Jawa???

 

[disneyholic family]

Backups are now gone. 81 and up are backups.

i wonder how many they gave out

.

 

[JWelch62]

Just got called for boarding group 10.

I wonder if the delay in start is related to the how long it took to fill all the back-up BGs. Perhaps they waited until a certain number of back-ups were distributed?

 

[lalasmama]

Every person I have spoken to regarding riding this ride is completely clueless about what it takes to actually ride it.

This made me flash back to my Lyft driver on 1/28, who told me if I didn't make reservations 2 months before, then I "couldn't ride it, and people are waiting in line for 8 hours and not getting to ride it since they didn't make reservations." I just smiled and said, "Thanks for the tip," and obtained my boarding group without issue.

But you are correct--it seems like everyone/so many people have no idea how to get it, and don't do the research ahead of time to find out.

Nah, they've opened before while still distributing backups. My guess is that they updated something last night and were doing a morning shakedown.
