Kraken queue times

[Guest]

Hi all, the wait time for Kraken is showing as being 650 minutes. That surely can't be right, can it? !

Could be now that it's using VR headsets

Can anyone explain how it works now ? I heard they were using a virtuel queue like Jimmy Fallon at Universal ?

Can anyone confirm if the queue is this long

No way couldn't be true. Must have been down

I posted in another thread about it yesterday I think.

We pretty much walked straight on a couple of days ago. Hardly any queue but the only seemed to be allowing a few in the standby queue at a time due to the time it is taking to turn each coaster around.

At the time we went on the wait time was showing as 205 mins which it definitely wasn't.

You have to pre book your virtual slot then go round the park and return when your time says
You can't book in advance to book your slot only in the morning you want to ride, so head there first asap otherwise all the slots will be gone right up to 10pm you only get on if your wandering around the area and some people don't show for their time but that's very much pot luck

When it is written 200 minutes wait, it's for the stand-by queue or the virtual queue ? I go there in two weeks and I begin to be worried. Thank you...

It's for the virtual queue. There is no standby queue - or, more correctly, the virtual queue and the standby queue are the same thing (you are virtually queuing in the single queue).

If the wait is short then you will be allowed to get into the short physical queue straight away waiting to get onto ride. Otherwise, you have to get your virtual place in the virtual queue and wait until it's time to head to the ride.

ETA: Wow! Looking at the posted wait times over the last 4 days or so, the waits are huge. Even longer than for Flight of Passage at Disney.
