Hi, you get a two hour slot to return to the ride ! We went straight there so by the time we walked over was about 18.00hrs and were done by 18.30hrs !
It was worth waiting around for and we were so pleased that we managed to do it ! We also did Smugglers run in the stand by queue once it dropped to 70 minutes - also really enjoyed this ride ! |

We had wifi over data success too last week! This was our third attempt though! The first day we had two devices (one on data and one on wifi) the data phone got boarding pass 79 which was a backup group. The ride had issues all day and didn’t even start running until around 9.30 (8am opening) and we got a notification around 2pm that we weren’t going to get on. The next morning we had a nightmare getting to the park, finally entered around 7.59am and didn’t get anything. The following attempt (last Wednesday) we got in the park for 7.30am. We stood to the left of the Chinese Theatre with three devices this time. Two on data and one on wifi. The wifi got boarding group 45! And we rode at around 12. It was amazing and really worth the stress but I was so glad we then had three less stressful days of our holiday left!
By the way, if multiple devices are being used make sure everyone appears on everyone’s mde (we had to go to a cast member the day before to sort this out as my son’s mde was not showing our daughter). When one of the devices gets into a group the others trying are blocked out so no need for other members to stop as the app does that for you. For all of this advice it is a complete lottery though. I would plan a few days to attempt it if you’re really wanting to do it this visit and hope you get an early group first try. Good luck everyone |

Yup, I'm afraid so.
It's why everyone's so desperate to get a boarding pass to the point that they run out within a minute or so. Without one, you don't get to ride it. It won't stay like that forever but no one knows when it'll start having a regular queue.

That article is interesting but it seems to be based on a huge assumption - namely that 17,000 people would chose to stand in a line when they know it's going to take up to 12 hours before they ride. People don't behave like that - most people have a threshold when it comes to waiting for things, personally I wouldn't wait for more than an hour for anything unless my life depended on it. But then I'm old, and grumpy so that threshold is different for everyone but I reckon most people would choose to skip a 12 hour wait.
When you factor in the heat and humidity of Orlando in the summer (not to mention the rain) the idea of standing around outside for 12 hours becomes even less attractive. For a lot of people it would be physically impossible to stand outside for that long in the heat. On the plus side, if the author is correct and people really will queue for that long it'll be good for the rest of us because with over half of the park's capacity stuck in a queue that should mean very short waits everywhere else in the park. |
