We were at the very back of the IG rope drop crowd and still somehow only waited like 10-15 minutes, tops. People were not pouring in behind us and they were just extending the line into the outdoor queue as we exited (I think 8:45ish). I feel like for 2 minutes of people to cause a 50 minute difference in wait time there must have been something else afoot. If the entire “pre-rope drop” crowd was on and off within 20 minutes I don’t know as to how 2 minutes worth of arrivals added 50 minutes of wait time…

Totally agree! I like Remy, but I enjoy the atmosphere / aesthetics more than the ride itself. My favorite part of the ride is (spoiler?) the smell of bread at the end. 
That said, my kids love it!

I think it’s bad and may not even ride it again on a future trip.

True, there could have been a breakdown in there. That said, the RD crowd for Remy is huge, so it’s not out of the question that the line would be 45+ minutes for those who arrive at the end of the line. (Probably not the front of the MG crowd though.)

In this case I believe Remy was the attraction the touring plans said to do at EE from main gate,

No, I think she was at the front of the main gate rope. She said she was the first or second in line at taps. International gateway just gives that much of a head start for Remy.

Then how do we explain the TP test number on a 7?

I do not think it is bad at all. I do think hoofing it from the entrance all the way to Remy is a PITB.
TBH I would rather full on wait 60 minutes at 3PM than the extra work going into RD Remy. It’s location in the park is just miserable IMO.
We found out in 2019 that we are actually very decent at waiting. I don’t mind 2-3 waits per day if need be.

So what happened in the chat instance is two liners were trying to get to Remy during early entry. One came from IG, one from MG. The MG liner is the one I’ve “spoken” with about it. She had a TP tell her to go to Remy first and she’d have a 7 minute wait. During spring break, starting at MG. There’s no way that was accurate, which is why we started looking into it on chat. And why Chrissy did the IG research as the wonderful folks at TP started looking into it too.
It wasn’t at all that one arrived 2 minutes after the other and it made a difference of 50 minutes in their wait. As y’all have discussed the IG person was probably at the front of the IG rope and so very much in the front of the Remy line. For those that don’t know when you start at IG you are first in line for security, then for the taps, then they move you to the France entrance and the line snakes over the bridge. It continues to grow for maybe 30 minutes before Remy actually opens.
If entering at MG, the same process happens on the MG side. Security, taps, then the people heading to Remy line up somewhere in future world (I have no idea where - I’ve never rope dropped Remy from MG). They are released when EE opens, and can begin the trek to Remy, but the IG people started the Remy line maybe what 30 minutes before? So the MG people are already at the back of all those IG people.
This particular instance I think the IG person started the timer when Remy started (as they are told) but that didn’t account for the first 30 minutes they were in that line waiting for it to open. The MG liner started the timer when they ENTERED the Remy line 2 minutes after Remy started and so far back in the line of people who had gotten in line before them from IG.
When TP tested on insta spring break was over. I definitely think you would see a 20 minute wait on a slower day versus a 60 minute wait on one of the busiest days of the year. I’ll go look to see what the crowd levels were on those two days.
(Sorry for the length, I’m not used to infinite characters!

completely concur
I’m super glad I rode it - but it wasn’t a favorite for me.
We actually did it twice because we noticed a 10 minute wait (it had been down and we caught reopen) when we headed toward France, so we jumped in the line and rode it even though we did have a LL for a little later. After we were done, we weren’t even that excited to use our LL passes, but did ride it a second time. I also think FEA is a nicer experience.
If I was going with kids who had never done it before I would take them on it to say they did it. If it was just me… I’d skip it. But I’d also skip LWTL, Figment, Nemo, MS… honestly - I’d do 3-4 things and leave.

I don’t understand the question @PrincipalTinker . Did I explain better in what i just wrote?
Also I should point out Chrissy said when the main gate tester got in line Remy was posted 25 and waited 19, but the lines chatter who was at the FRONT of Main Gate during Easter week who waited 61 had a posted wait of 70. It’s just that much of a difference going Easter week versus going a slow week. Both cases main gate is behind International gate. But that many more people are rope dropping during Easter.

We don’t do LWTL, Figment, Nemo or FEA. And now Remy.

April 5 - EP was a 7
April 13 - EP was a 7
April 14 - EP was a 6
I’m shocked it wasn’t higher Easter week. The wait times are still a difference between a posted of 25 and a posted of 70 though.

One more and I’ll stop. Looks like EP opened early (even earlier than early entry). EE was at 8:30 but they let TP in the Remy line at 8:14. On April 5 the rope apparently didn’t drop that early. Remy didn’t start that early when I was there in March either. About 8:25 for me.

There was a question about if the attraction went down for a few minutes.
I think it needs more testing?

Well her posted was 70 when she got in line so I don’t think the discrepancy was down time. I’ve only rope dropped Remy from IG but I definitely watch the line grow by several hundred people behind me. More testing is always good.
