I saw a pic that the entrances to ST, Holidayz, and Exorcist are going to be all on the same side (Left side of Transformers). Sounds like a major cluster if all three entrances are gonna be right there. Ooof.
Honestly, if they didnt end up unresponsive and broken, I'd be pretty in favor of virtual queue systems for pretty much any haunt, just getting a return time and being able to hang around the scarezones would always be better than waiting in 200 minutes of switchbacks.Don’t know if there’s any weight to this but I’m hearing whispers of having TLOU be Virtual queue only. Hope it isn’t because that would be yet another wrench thrown into opening weekend shenanigans on top of charging for Early Access.
Another theoretical scenario: You pay the $10 for early access to get a head start on the houses. You find out upon arriving at the entrance after fighting the line to get your pass scanned that it is VQ only. You scramble to get a slot on your phone only to see that it’s sold out for the night. You bought that EA ticket, got there as early as you can be and you still get screwed out of getting to go in.Honestly, if they didnt end up unresponsive and broken, I'd be pretty in favor of virtual queue systems for pretty much any haunt, just getting a return time and being able to hang around the scarezones would always be better than waiting in 200 minutes of switchbacks.
That said, that leads to a heck of a lot more people hanging around in the park, which makes said scarezones overcrowded, spots for those virtual queue return times would probably be gone within an hour of the park opening, leading to anyone coming in later being out of luck, and odds are the entire system would break constantly, if Disney is any indication. So... probably better on paper than it would be in practice.
Honestly didn't think about that, though I missed out on Early Access for the first weekend anyway so that's probably why.Another theoretical scenario: You pay the $10 for early access to get a head start on the houses.

They are throwing a lot of curveballs at people that don’t want to pony up the money for Express. Can’t wait to witness all of the angry guests on opening night.
I’m also wondering if they’re going to resume the policy of freezing the standby line until Express is empty like early last year. If so….that’s gonna go very well with the paying guests.
Probably more like SLOPHow would a Virtual Q even work?
Like Toad's Cafe or more like SLOP?
Welp...Don’t know if there’s any weight to this but I’m hearing whispers of having TLOU be Virtual queue only. Hope it isn’t because that would be yet another wrench thrown into opening weekend shenanigans on top of charging for Early Access.
So I don't think it is. Looking at banners, and of the app itself, TLOU and Exorcist in their pages do not specify VQ at all. They are present on that page, but for they are also listed with the other houses.Don’t know if there’s any weight to this but I’m hearing whispers of having TLOU be Virtual queue only.

I meanDo they think there's not enough room for a large physical queue for those 2 houses? We don't know how where Exorcist will place the queue cuz that venue has never been used, right? TLOU venue was LC last year, which was never particularly long
