Posted: Saturday April 15, 2023 2:38pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

TRON Lightcycle Run's 1pm Virtual Queue remained open for 93 minutes today, a massive increase from the usual 4 to 7 seconds.

The extended opening for the Virtual Queue also meant that today, for the first time ever, TRON has been available to park-hopping guests arriving from another park.

Park attendance is markedly lower today at Walt Disney World, with the Spring Break and Easter crowds now departing.

In response to lower demand, Disney also reduced Genie+ pricing today at Walt Disney World from its peak of $35 to $25.

Yeah today was rough, which is rare for this ride/attraction. Almost 3 hours of straight downtime from 9-12pm.

Today's ops were tragic. I had a 7am vq drop and didn't get the call until 4:30. 9 hours for a 1 minute ride duration. Yeah, not going to bother for that ride anymore.

This is so cool to see, thanks for sharing. I got my VQ at 6:00 on the dot this day, and was in BG 107. We could not believe how early we got called back and it was a walk-on when we got there. They were literally sending rides out half full because no one was there. I think everyone was shocked to be called as quick as we were!
