Today at the 11am drop I kept clicking that time selection despite it saying no longer available for several minutes and it actually successfully gave it to me. Like 3 mins of not taking “no more left” for an answer, and it paid off.

That no more left pop up is definitely also the same as the former server error message pop up that showed up constantly the first day they did Virtual Line during TM previews… just in disguise now as a no more left error.

Sneaky.

Wow. That same trick got me my Switch 2 pre order!!!!

This still sounds very anti-guest-experience to me.

Hopefully the ride gets reliable soon and they drop this nonsense.

I’d love to know if the capacity / reliability of the attraction is currently improving or stuck at a certain level. If the VQ situation is this bad during very low capacity previews I hate to think what it will be like on opening day and beyond if things don’t improve.

It’s also insane to me that they will let a single account get multiple VQ slots per day. Surely they could limit it to one per guest account per day to give more people a chance to ride.

You should select the correct number of people in your party. I imagine it “does not matter” because the people checking at the attraction will let your whole party in regardless (since it’s an imperfect system).

IDK, I saw a party right in front of me get turned away because their party didn't match the reservation. Could be TM dependent?

If there's more guests in a party trying to redeem the VQ than what's previously listed/reserved, they'll turn you around. But I doubt they turn back a party that is smaller than what was initially reserved.

I literally saw a time for 3:30 this morning and it disappeared instantly Hopefully the afternoon drop goes better

We are less than a month from opening, I’m glad I’m not planning on going in 2025 honestly. I don’t see this being a “quick” fix.

FWIW I was told they’re opening around the 3PM drop today.

I have two people, but booked it for three, since I was refreshing the page by upping and lowering my party size. We ended up befriending someone who was there by themselves, and making their day but inviting them to ride with us.

They didn't check on anything other than the party size. So if you book more people than your actual size, just find some friends.

Yesterday I got a slot for two in the 11AM drop despite solo slots not being available - no turning away for having a slightly larger party size.

Also, when I went at 3:15 yesterday, the ride was a complete walk on. It was running much better than Monday until the last hour from what I could tell.
