coasterbill Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Backup boarding groups are still available 40 minutes after opening on a Saturday. Woah. Edited February 22, 2020 by coasterbill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I thought very hard about going today, too. The weather is a lot cooler today than it usually is around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) The ride's fantastic performance has continued for the last few days. 4 straight days of at least 130 boarding groups called with no noticeable downtime. Hopefully this continues. Â Meanwhile... in California Edited February 24, 2020 by coasterbill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltopper39 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 There is a lot of speculation but no. Yeah that'skind of what I figured. The ride's fantastic performance has continued for the last few days. 4 straight days of at least 130 boarding groups called with no noticeable downtime.

I don't really believe anything online but it kind of lines up with how FL opened first even though Cali was under construction longer and makes me wonder if there are any significant differences in the two systems because of how the construction process went. Probably not but you never know (and we probably never will). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Or there's billions, possibly trillions, of lines of code all working and interacting simultaneously with video effects, practical effects, sound effects, animatronics, etc, and sometimes they get confused and force a breakdown. That's probably more likely. Disney is pushing the processors running this beast to the known limit. There's bound to be hiccups. You can't push the envelope without screwing a few things up along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Speaking of lines of code f*cking everything up. Â It's being reported that an app issue allowed all of the people practicing for their upcoming Disney trips to actually secure boarding groups without actually being in the park or even having a ticket. This obviously means that a much larger percentage of people who were actually in the park walked away empty handed and guest services lines are apparently pretty huge this morning. I definitely feel for them and the cast members today. Â WDW News Today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haymaker Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Backup boarding groups start at 52 today, was 66 before. Glad im still low though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) You should have no issue getting on as the boarding groups are littered with people all around the world today that will never actually show up at the ride.

Canobie Coaster Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 ^ Hopefully they get this corrected pretty quickly. It'll be interesting to see how quickly they fly through boarding groups today if a chunk of people aren't actually there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Yup. Â Obviously there's no way to predict what percentage of people were actually outside the park. One would think it would be relatively low in comparison to the number of people who were but I guess you never know. If they really fly through the groups we'll know why.

coasterbill Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Backup groups start at 46 today.... ouch And boarding starts at 10 Â Datapoints seem to suggest that they gave everyone who got any backup group yesterday but didn't ride (including the people who got boarding groups from halfway across the world) multiple experience passes because of the glitch. I'm sure they're just compensating for that. There are going to be tons of people using the Fastpass line today.

Canobie Coaster Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 ^ Agreed. Though it would be interesting to know how many of the recovery FastPasses were people actually at the resort versus those trying from home (I know we'll never know). Â My aunt was one of the lucky ones who tried from home and somehow got a backup boarding group, so she got a free ticket and FP for Rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) They gave out thousands and thousands of Fastpasses yesterday (and possibly one Jungle Cruise boat’s worth of Fastpasses today ). The ride probably did way more riders today than the number of boarding groups called would imply. Edited February 27, 2020 by coasterbill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
