Genie - Initial Impressions

This is from people actually in the parks. You have to be there.

For anyone else interested… RotR ILL$ have sold out as of now. They lasted about 30 - 40 minutes on sale after park opening.

Also I could see a number of AP holders trying it out today and the next few days, but not purchasing it regularly.

Looking like they would have made more money with SDD!

It’s all a mind game!

I really wish we had this last week. It would have made Studios so much easier with the crowds we had. $60 for the four of us to skip the 2 hour RotR line? Yes, please.

We don’t know that though. I suspect if MMRR was part of G+ instead of SDD, it would go quickly instead.

I wish they had this selection time for G+.

Huh…I think that’s…not exactly terrible? I mean, it’s better than the BG Lottery where your entire party is smashing that “join” button at once and milliseconds count.

True, SDD would have been a good one.

True - people would choose to RD whichever the paid one is I suspect.

Will be interesting to see how FOP and MMRR sell after the RD crowd clears and lines build.

The legal disclaimer is fantastic on genie+

30-40 minutes from park opening or from 7am?

From a purely selfish view, I’m glad they didn’t. If they’d only had the top three or four rides on ILL$$$, then the others would have been G+. That would have made G+ interesting to more people. The fewer people that get G+, the better it will be for those that do (like me).

An example from the other perspective. My first thought when this was announced, was DD and I circling around Frozen with G+ reservations. This was before the ILL$$$ rides were fully listed. I was disappointed when Frozen was a ILL$$$, but then I realized that rarely will people pay, so DD and I can circle around but in a fast moving standby.

IMHO - They don’t want people complaining that you have to to ILL$ for BOTH of the best rides at DHS

Wait, that’s not appearing on mine. I’m getting the full disclaimer. Where’s that coming from?

I’ve seen it posted all over.

Park opening… (I’ll edit to clarify! Good catch!)

Park Opening? Shoot, that’s even better.

After seeing things today I would not be surprised if they eventually go to one ILL$ per park. Adding another attraction to G+ would also make that more appealing to more people, and they can probably maximize their ILL sales. If.i were them:

  • FoP
  • Rise
  • Remy (replaced by Guardians when it opens)
  • SDMT (replaced by Tron when it opens)

Then they just have to open a new attraction every few years :slight_smile:
