ToT refurbishment done?

[Jonfw2]

About mid-day yesterday, the wait times for Tower of Terror dropped below an hour and stayed there for the rest of the day, getting as low 25 minutes at various points. This is with RnRC over 2 hours.

This morning, 15 minutes in, the wait is around 45 minutes.

After being at over 2 hours every day all day for months, I have to think this means it’s back to running at full capacity.

Yesterday morning before 10 am, when we first got into the elevator room, they were operating two of the elevators, but before we got on our elevator, they opened up a third one.

Thank you! Great sign, obviously.

I noticed that too, and the trend has continued into this morning. I wonder if they will open up more fastpasses in early-mid August.

I was just posting this observation in another thread ive been watching. It has definitely been eating more people the last couple of days. I keep checking MDE hoping I will be able to snag a Fastpass but so far nothing has been released. I have noticed fp availability goes from zero to lots of variety around 8-30.

I hope so! I've been trying to grab one for the last month.

I was riding Friday night and after being down for 2 hours, I finally got on and they were loading 3 elevators.

Yesterday when we rode, it appeared that all 4 elevators were running. Yay!

But were additional fastpasses released? Were they even necessary? I mean I will wait 45 minutes for TofT but not 90+

If ToT is running at full capacity, do you think heading to over to ride it before going to breakfast is doable?

That was a pretty legit strategy prior to the partial refurb.... so if things are back at 100%, then could be OK.

Like rope drop? I think for sure. Everyone will sprint to either SDD or RnRC.

Thanks for answering even though I screwed up my posting. I will keep an eye on the ToT wait times this coming week.

This is what I did when we did EMM and ToT was running at full capacity. We had a 5 or 10 minute wait because the hordes streamed straight to TSL.

We rode ToT today with a 35 minute standby wait at 1:00. All loading areas were open.

 

[Mrs Grumpy]

Oh, I hope they are done and they load more FP soon.

 

[elgerber]

Lines have been horrifyingly long today so it appears they are still not fully loading all day.

 

[Jonfw2]

Now I'm all discombobulated. After a weekend of waits consistently below an hour, they are now back consistently over 2. I am clueless on this one.

While I have not followed the intricate details of the refurb and if this level of detail is even known, but isn’t it possible they are just moving along to another shaft(s)?

For sure. But the word all along (the unofficial word, I suppose) is that they wanted all shafts open when SWGE opened. I may have been guilty of assuming this was the last of the repairs.
