For Virtual Queues, I wish they’d just break it up during the day more… Like if they allow 10k to enter at open, instead do 3k then 2 hours later another 2k, and continue as operations go. That way if the attraction closes and backs up the queue, later openings have less or no opening. Also so a spot is being held for a late time during park open, with the chance they may leave the park and leave that slot vacant. Just keep it rolling. Virtual queues can be great!

I think they can’t build entirely interior queue’s because the ability to see the queue line is both a visual gauge of the rides wait times for guests and a symptom of the rides interior queue being spilled over to the extent an exterior queue is needed from guests not being able to see how long the interior line actually is.
@UmmYeahOk
Жыл бұрын
They have signs literally in front of every line (even when they get backed up and spill over into the lands) telling you how long the wait is estimated to be. This is constantly updated, not by the wearable tracking devices, but by the little red card lanyards they randomly give out to people in the beginning, and then given back at the end. Judging any kind of line visually is a bad idea, as even outdoor queues make you believe you’re coming to an end, but surprise, it leads you somewhere else.
