Ever since GOTG opened I’ve been asking this question.
Why did Disney install permanent tap points in the stand by lane?
(this is not my photo, I borrowed it from the intertnet)
I had a shower moment this morning and have two thoughts.
1.The indoor queue is pretty small. Especially compared to ROTR. The outdoor portion of the queue is very temporary. So maybe they plan on keeping BG’s for longer than they are really needed to keep the line contained inside the building.
2.Could there be some sort of MB+ element in the ride or queue? This would be really cool and I think there are a lot of spots in the queue that they could do some fun stuff with.
Anyone else have any thoughts? Am I the only one that finds this odd/interesting?
It is probably easier for them to have it and not need it than to not have it when they find they DO need it.
I assume it is used for the VQ right now. As @OBNurseNH said, could be used for Extended Evening hours…or future other events such as After Hours. (Although…has there ever been an AH at EP?)
I tried to find pictures of the Remy entrance. I can’t tell…but it appears there COULD be tapstyles at all three entrance points…but hard to say, since every picture I see has employees scanning with a handheld rather than using a permanent tapstyle. The photos do show circles about the right size to be a tapstyle as part of those red booths at the entrance…but they might just be decor.
Yeah I haven’t been on Remy in a few months. Might need to do that my next EP day. But rode several times while it had VQ and it was always a CM with a device that checked us in.
Really? I was always checked in by CM with device! Okay so maybe it isn’t a one off then and just something they are doing with new rides. I wonder if they will add to older rides when they go down for longer refurbs?
yup, I distinctly remember one under or around the phone in the booth and one on the other side of the door because I wanted to take a look at the booth cause it looked like ti was “attached” to the phone somehow and I’m a sucker for theming and wanted to see what they did.
But the line worked out that I only got the far side one. I was sad.
I was in the line where the guy in shorts is. You can see the Tap next to him. That’s the one I got stuck using. The girl is standing in front of a tap though. You can juuuuust make it out at about waist high.
Wait, maybe i’m not mistaken. Is that middle-area an actual line? I thought it went no where.
Yep so I guess part of my question is answered. GOTG isn’t the first ride to have these permanent taps in SB. Still hopeful the reason is something cool like MB+ fun!
