Ahh, but you are behind them? /s

Not that I have a problem with jogging in general, but I never find that I’m very far in line behind the people who jogged. 🤷🏻‍♂️

MisterPenguinSep 15, 2024

It's refreshing to know Disney guests can still run and jog!!

Cool…..it’s refreshing to know it’s still going on

Done it 2 days in a row now and indeed it was a stampede...people running, jogging...saw one woman drop her phone and cause a dawned pile up as she stopped to pick it up.

Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... MASS HYSTERIA!

The VQ system (finally) ends today for Tron! Standby line starts tomorrow September 9, 2024. Scatterplot of every single VQ data point collected for the past 538 days, which includes soft opening and everyday since the ride opened on April 4, 2023. Here's my final update for it and wrap-up post:

And If I was 6’10” and a had a good jump shot I’d be in the NBA.

It’s literally show up an hour early?

Mark DunneSep 08, 2024

I agree, that sun will be burning down on people, also its not the quickest loading for me, with only say 8-10 people in the show room, be interesting how long that line goes. if the line looks long for us, it'll be ILL's all round.

co10064Sep 07, 2024

Yes! It’s an excellent ride experience. Definitely a must-do E-ticket. If it was longer and had a properly themed (or better hidden) show-building, it would be among the best additions on property.

Br0ckfordSep 07, 2024

If they add it early entry resort guest might be less likely to buy a lighten lane single pass thingy or whatever it's called now. 😉 💰
