Tron Moving to Standby on Monday 9/9

[Juventus]

wait time have been very low the last couple of days. This looks like one of the lightest week crowdwise so I don't think today tells us much.

Anyone reasonable would have already understood that coming into today. That does not mean there's no value to be found in monitoring wait times though because patterns can emerge. Personally I'm watching it because we go down there next week so this specific data actually is useful to me.

Was it open for Early Entry?

It will be interesting to see if the posted wait times increase dramatically later in the evening and also if any data is available on actual waits. I would anticipate the posted wait to be about 4x the actual wait over the last hour or so just based on standard operating procedures.

 

[Shellyred8]

Does anyone that is actually there know if the posted wait times are actually accurate?

 

[Gentry2004]

Back to 90 minutes now which is more in line with expectations. As a comparison, Thunder is 45 and Mine Train is 55.

Avg wait time for today on a slow day is 63min, at park open was 105min. On acutal busy days I wouldn't be surprised if you consistently see wait times 100+++. Glad I got the VQ the times I did because I don't see myself waiting to ride this anytime soon if ever again. I don't mind paying for rides I just wouldn't for this ride unless it was my first time riding.

Avg wait time for the other rides today slinky is 57min, flight of passage 55min, Rise 45 min, SDMT 50.

Touring Plans is predicting the wait time to drop to 35 minutes a half hour before park close this evening. Let's see how accurate they are today.

No.

The posted wait time for Tron is now shorter than Big Thunder, 7D and Peter Pan. I'm starting to wonder if it ever really needed a virtual queue to begin with.

It's 8:50AM and Tron is not showing as open. It is not intended to be included in ETPE to the best of my knowledge.

You can't just pick a random time during the day and be like look they didn't need a VQ. Flight of Passage had a 20 minute wait yesterday in the afternoon, what does that really mean other than if your at the park then jump in line(assuming the ride isn't down). Slinky was a 30 minute wait yesterday early afternoon which is crazy. All that's telling me that was the park(s) were pretty dead yesterday and if you went you got on a lot of rides.

Tron's avg wait time was 60+ all day then and at park close it was a 95min wait.

so annoying and doesn't really make sense to me. why not include the highest demand attraction in the park during early morning hours? seems like a cynical move to jack up LLSP sales.

Yes, the jump to a 95 minute posted wait was anticipated as part of Disney’s standard pre-close operating procedures.

There does not appear to have been any actual wait times reported after the spike, but it is very likely that the wait was in the 20-25 minute range based on commonly used processes.

Exactly!

I guess what we may be learning is that it's really not as highly in demand as we thought it might be. Current wait time at 10:07AM, day 2 of standby queue is only 30 mins and TP anticipates it's currently an actual wait of around 15 mins!

idk, it's a party night tuesday in september, probably one of the 15 slowest days of the year at MK. but it probably helps that tron is a quick, fast-loading, and generally reliable attraction.

i'd still rather rope drop tron than 7DMT if given the choice. and tron open early morning would relieve some of the insanity of the fantasyland early AM rope drop.

what even happens in the early morning in tomorrowland, given that it's open early but tron isn't? think my move would be space mountain than start queuing for tron if possible.

Probably easing it in to avoid ropedrop chaos to start and see how things go, I'd guess it eventually opens up early. Standby wait is 30 min now, I know it's not going to be as busy as other times but the waits so far feel like it's not really worth paying for ILL right now unless you REALLY can't wait on line. Certainly not a situation like Rise where you have to grapple with the potential of standing for two hours.

We like to wait until later in the evening for Rise. Our longest wait using this strategy has been 20 minutes in both Florida and California locations. This has been the case since shortly after Rise went from VQ to standby.

I expect Tron to behave similarly.

WDWNT reported that 7DMT has had unusually low early morning wait times since the crush of guests are now headed to Tron standby. That's an added bonus for those that would rather rope drop 7DMT. If anything it can be used to maximize your park touring strategy.
