Tiana’s Bayou AP Preview?

[GhostHost24]

Got group 17, hopefully it's better than yesterday

I'm on the plane heading to MCO right now. Was able to get a BG for Tron (68) and Tiana (62). If the connection had been a little faster I might have gotten something sooner for Tron, but now I don't have to rush to get there once I land.

Does anybody know what time the 7am was filled up today? Yesterday it seemed to be open until at least 9am (I was monitoring on my phone) but today, by the time I picked up my phone at 7:50 or so, they were all gone!

Edit: I saw a few other places people saying that they were all gone by 7:24

Good luck today everyone! I ended up not making it on yesterday. By the time BG 64 was called we were just sitting down to an ADR. When I got to Tiana's, they had shut the ride down and were evacuating AGAIN. I'm totally fine with the fact that I didn't get to ride (that's how it goes sometimes), but man am I concerned about the crazy amount of evacs happening on this attraction. With only two weeks to go, it's concerning.

Just sharing my AP friend's experience from yesterday for those curious:
She did the 1pm VQ drop, got BG 99. Original estimate 5/5:15, with all the shutdowns it was pushed back and finally called at 8. Got on the ride about 9, made it to the room before the big drop when everything stopped, lights came on, and they were escorted off.
They were told to return to Guest Relations next time for a LL.

Also saw the 1pm lasted 2 seconds.

Thrill data is tracking it for those looking to watch BG progression.

That doesn't surprise me since the 1:00 VQ is open to more than just those with MK reservations.

This link is to all of the Thrill-Data information re: Tiana's Bayou Adventure.

I cannot find a place where Thrill-Data is tracking VQ availability at this time. We may need to wait until the attraction is fully open for them to begin tracking this information. When they do, it will be found here.

Looks like another delayed opening

Just started boarding 1-10!

I land in Orlando Monday morning and won't get to the park until noon. Anyone know if they allow late VQ arrivals? I have better odds at the 7am drop, but don't want to miss my VQ and get turned away.

We won't really know the answer to this until someone tries it. To date nobody has arrived outside their window (including the 15 min grace period) so we don't have any reported information to offer.

If it helps, and again we have no proof either way for Tiana's, with Tron if you miss your 7AM VQ and it has expired by 1PM, you can try again for a new VQ. We don't know if this is how it will work for Tiana's or not.

Hopefully others will continue to post their actual experiences. I know we do have a report above of someone who was successful getting a VQ this morning from a plane so if they arrive in time or not may give us another data point that is helpful to you.

The CM just told me they're trying to be lenient with return times as long as you don't show up like 3 hours late.

Drove up from Clearwater today to try for the 1 pm drop but was unsuccessful. It’s alright. Well ride it when it after it opens eventually.

Another forum is reporting 1 second today.

The odds of a 1pm score are horrible if this keeps up.

Just a pure guess, but I think you'll see this issue only during AP previews. It seems like the 7am is lasting a couple of minutes. All the people who weren't able to get a park res to MK just booked another park, so there's most likely way more people trying for 1 then there is 7

I was group 17 this morning, even with the delay, I walked right onto the ride, didn't stop once in the queue (was called at 1030)

Oh for sure! I just meant with regards to AP previews. The dynamics will totally change when it goes live to the general public.

Nah, they probably had no actual spots to offer, since it was running so poorly.

Being able to try again at 1pm would be huge. Seems like shooting for the 7am would be best. Thanks!

Note to self:
if FL is in Hell Mode ask for front

I got more wet in the front row of Tiana than I ever did on Splash, even in the front row. But only on the final drop. Didn't feel so much as a splash () on the other drops.
