My gut feeling is the ride will be on VQ the first few days only but will move to standby very quickly. I’d be surprised if it’s still on VQ headed into the first eligible EEH night (Wednesday). They could also move to standby for EEH, but I think it just makes it more complicated.

🙂 Agree….things were running very smooth. I watched for about half an hour, it was interesting. Good to see the logs moving again, as it really does add additional kinetic energy to the area. Nice group of people hanging out with me at the time as well. All obvious fans of the prior Attraction. -

Keep in mind that VQ is the substitute for Standby. It's free. No one-time purchase. No need to buy Genie+. Just like Standby. Only, it is a *scheduled* Standby. This keeps it from become a 2-4 hour ordeal (or allows them to quickly clear out the queue if the ride goes down). It seems, as far as I can gleam, that initially, there will be VQ in place of Standby, along with Genie+ 'fastpasses.' (Genie+ costs extra). Then, after "a few days" (a week?, a month?) the VQ will be replaced by standard Standby, along with Genie+. Kinda surprised that they'll use Genie+ and not ILL.

You are correct. The logs are dispatching at 100% efficiency right now with no guests delaying the boarding process, so they are stopping at the top until the previous log passes the sensor at the splashdown area. It's neat to see the process without guests and delays.

Sign of the times…..? Things are a bit different now with Disney when it comes to things like this. Not too long ago I remember Imagineers were ‘annoymous’. -

Red tagged ones may sink and are saved for Standby. Genie+ gets you an unsinkable log.

Perhaps, but there are several logs tagged and others with no tags. -

They gave the log a red card

Keep track of which have made the mandatory number of cycles?

Here now in front of the Attraction, logs are being cycled through. Good crowd here right now watching with me on the bridge. Some of the logs are tagged with red tags attached to the ‘rope point’ on the back. Not sure what the designation is for…but here is a quick snapshot - Another observation - The logs are stopping at the top of the lift hill. Hesitating…just for a moment. They are are not just tumbling over the lift as usual. May just be the spacing settings, waiting for the prior log to get out of the clearance range, but wanted to note it. Every single log is stopping at the top…as if it might be a part of the experience now. Two Imagineers just rode by with camera equipment set up in one of the logs.

Strange. They usually don’t highlight construction sites. That’s not magical. You’re supposed to think it’s a real waterfall.

Figments Friend9 hours ago

Agree. Not sure why they made it look that way, but perhaps they wanted to drive home the fact it is still under construction. -

Risky, could take down the internet for the eastern US. But seriously, there may be a tech hurdle involved, which means ut-oh spaghetti-o. True story: on a trip a semi full of spaghetti-o caught fire and closed the freeway. Waited in line for hours. That phrase has had meaning ever since. Every time we're in a traffic jam we muse that they shouldn't transport spaghetti-o across state lines without a hazmat permit.
