Express shows up and automatically gets in. They do not need a return time.
Correction: they do it on key on the show.
But gets in where? The final loading area preshow?
Fallon's strengths IMO are the bits. Those bits get a lot of views and likes on the YouTube. Completely agree though about being a Fallon hater.
No. The first load. Only way to really tell how long they'll have to "wait" is when virtual finally rolls out.

I'd buy a shirt with "Fallon Hater" on it
RIP Twister. We went from a flying cow to a flying clown.

Walk in to the waiting area museum thingy...?
And then have to wait out the color cycle..?
Which the number of acts on the second floor suggests will still be about 10-15mins per level?
As I said before - that will not go over well.

Good thing is you have the freedom to never ride it or go through the queue!
And to choose to not renew my annual pass. Nothing to look forward to at the parks until Nintendo. Time for a WDW AP.
So really the only difference between Express and Virtual is Express has the freedom to walk in at any point whereas virtual has to reserve a ride. Not much of a boon for express, imo.
Exactly.
But again, can't really say what impact it has yet and what the average "wait" will be. For people who aren't regulars, the whole selling point is that everything is part of the experience, so it's masked. For us who go daily/weekly..... well, you know how that goes.
Ok the peacock has 6 colors.
Two theaters, meaning you have to wait a minimum of 3 ride cycles to ride if they loop the colors (doing otherwise would be insane.)
That's 3 ride cycles per floor.
Most simulators are about 5 mins long.
That's 15mins per floor.
Express buyers will not like that.

I like the idea of it, but I don't like that I have to reserve a time. That's my main issue. Although i'm sure the virtual queue is partly because it seems like a fairly low capacity ride and they need to manage how many people are in the building at one time as well to create a pleasant enough experience.
This is also why i'm not necessarily looking forward to VB as much as the rides are telling me to. I love the ability to just get in line, no matter the wait. I don't want to have to reserve everything in order to do everything.
I just hope this doesn't roll out to too many other rides in the parks.
That actually sounds about right...
But again, the whole experience is the selling point. If they waited 30 min on 1st floor - I'd agree; but with the 2nd floor and the stuff to do (opinions not withstanding) - they won't realize they waited 30. Either way, easy Corporate Speak to combat it....
"Express only guarantees a lower wait time than Regular." - which in theory, they would have.
I think it's possible for future B/C tickets - depending on IP.
Depends on the ride time and load/unload but it's near 1700 or so, maybe 1500 if load is really long.
That's not a bad number given the total park attendance.

There should be a constant 144 guests on each floor with a peak period of 216 if they get backed up.
How do they fill empty seats? Like, is there a line for people to fill in for those who don't show up when their color is called?
And what do they do if they end up with too many people returning because a party missed their first call?

I don't think people are buying Express just for this attraction.
