Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

That happened last year too. It came back eventually.

Here it is:

Interesting. I noticed it had its attraction star back the app map yesterday.

Officially I believe Stitch’s Great Escape is still seasonal too.

(we really like Primeval Whirl)

Its like the Carpets of Aladdin of Animal Kingdom. A perfect attraction

 

[rteetz]

The website that shall not be named is saying that Primeval Whirl may have gone the way of stitch’s great escape. It was apparently removed from the printed map.

Little harder to do that when it’s out in the open for everyone to see...

The Tim Tracker Magic Kingdom video is finally up

Don’t knock the carpets. Their popularity has rivaled FoP.

 

[Mit88]

Dupe

Don’t knock the carpets. Their popularity has rivaled FoP.

My love and admiration for Carpets of Aladdin is well documented around here. Everyone is just now jumping on the bandwagon, and I’m ok with it.

And the popularity hasn’t “rivaled” FoP, its surpassed it.

Disney says that you’ll only be allowed one ride.

I hope they are just erring on the side of caution. How can crowds be so low at AK (with a similar number of rides) that the almost equally popular FoP is a constant walk-on, but RotR will be just as difficult to accommodate everyone just once in a day? I think this is just to keep people from showing up at RD and to have the system in place for once capacity ramps up.

What is the hourly capacity for RotR? DHS is going to have less than 10k people initially for a 10 hour operating day. And obviously there will people some people who won’t or can’t ride like small children. Though with the 2 rows of 8, it will take a huge capacity hit as I’d imagine parties of 2 will get their own car. Maybe it really is needed.

Carpets will be the next attraction that gets a virtual queue.

FoP is just more reliable than RotR and they want to avoid having people in line for hours when it breaks down.

Should have probably been the first TBH. But I dont make those decisions. I’d be furious if I could only ride it once though

 

[yulilin3]

BTW if anyone is wondering, I'm still on hold with AP services, an hour and 10 minutes so far

 

[casaya95]

I’m pretty sure the two hours was tied to park hopping. Not needed with no hopping.

It might still be needed if a guest is in line for another attraction, in the middle of a dining reservation, etc.

 

[Carol Jackson]

I hope that all of the locals persevere! Being from out of state, I have the First World problem of having to stay onsite...and I did!

Out of state AP here! Heading to my condo at Orange Lake before I check in at Pop. I have Park reservations for my resort stay and now I got one before I check in. Trying for two more but no luck so far.

I gave up after 30 mins.

Wish you could choose music like park music only, etc. might would have held on longer lol

I always get the same attraction loop, every hour on the hour is the old train station welcome song

Bob Chapek, Josh D’Amaro, and Jeff Vahle out and about at MK

 

[Mit88]

Bob knows if hes in a picture with Josh its harder for people to criticize him. Smart man
