That’s the second time you’ve called me fat today.
So just got a push notification that HS has EMH tomorrow 6-8am. It said it does not include RotR but I am assuming you will be able to get a BG

It’s almost like they just didn’t plan this out at all.

It’s Saturday morning on the west coast and I’ve only been up an hour but will add a timeline for today shortly. Important update in the original post: Today they started scanning BGs AFTER riders exited the ride, meaning you can’t obtain a new BG until after you ride. Hopefully this will make it a little more fair for people who are scanning through the tapstiles early in the morning when the ride is already open.

That’s a good change. Thanks again for collating everything. It’s much appreciated. I think you should get one of those fancy titles next to your name. How does that work? Who does that? @missoverexcited ?

We were dumped around the same time as @NYGIANTMickeyFan. We were Given paper fastpasses to return. That being said it took us 3 different tries over the span of approx 2 hours (9ish to 11ish) to actually be admitted to the queue. The attraction was either down during those periods, or they had so many people returning that they were simply not admitting anyone else. Just beware that those paper fastpasses still do not allow access 100% of the time when the attraction is operational.

I don’t really want the added responsibility of being a moderator, but I appreciate the sentiment, @natalie_lawy! This is a labor of love! And obsession …
I just meant those snappy nicknames, like “Voice of Reason In A Sea of Noise” and the like. Not an actual job. Although it’s possible TP should hire you to blog your data analysis…

Speaking of TP data analysis, this is their chart of wait times from yesterday. For a typical attraction, this would show downtime and posted wait times. Unfortunately, the only data they appear to have is their forecast and wait times submitted by Liners (green dots). Wait times right now mean the time they scan in for their boarding group until they board a vehicle - so it doesn’t factor in when they got a BG or whether they were evacuated, etc. So not too useful.
If you have a personalized TP, I’m worried that this might tell you to ride in the afternoon because wait times are “lower” - but if they’re still using BGs, you will still just need to arrive ASAP in the morning and snag the first available BG.

Yea… I watched the whole ride, honestly my daughter could go either way. But there some intense moments in the ride! So prob not pushing it this trip, it will be there when she’s older.
It’s a clique thing. Don’t even go there.

Ah gotcha. I was wondering if maybe there was a way to add your own since they seemed kind of random.
If I get my BG and go to another park, will I still get my notification that my BG is ready/boarding now?
