This chat has to be on topic. This is about TBA Construction and Updates, not Tron and VQ.

Besides the fact that it is still very much a 32 year old ride with a fresh coat of paint, it is also a water ride. Unlike coasters, water rides don’t have consistent demand throughout the day. There’s peaks & troughs, and I don’t think the pretty night lights will change that.

There was a recent preview (perhaps Guardians?) that didn’t require reservations and there was an issue with many DVC owners grabbing passes for a preview and then not showing up because they weren’t even at Disney.

Careful, we have to keep the chat clear for updates and construction news. This is about TBA, not Splash.

Not as of yet, at least for previews: Planning on visiting TRON Lightcycle / Run Presented by Enterprise® or Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind? Not to worry, you can hold a virtual queue for one of those attractions and for Tiana's Bayou Adventure Passholder preview at the same time, when available. This special perk is only offered during Passholder previews.

Really feels like DVC members got this shaft this time. Not even full days - just 3 hours each time. Also, the DVC charter cruise ends on the 19th, and lots of folks will then be heading to Disney World - sure would be nice if the time slot for the 19th was later than noon....

Is TRON leaving virtual queue now or two in the same park?

hope your feeling better....I am liking those frames they are working on, lets hope they get added to some of the signs we have been seeing.

How long is everyone’s wait to open the reservation screen?

Wouldn’t it be better if this was ILL? So let’s say you miss out on the VQ. Now you buy G+ and hope to get a return time? I would rather spend money and know I’m going to ride, than spend money and hope. Am I missing something here?

How is this at all a head scratcher? 7DMT ILL sells out virtually every day, and very quickly. It is a ride that appeals to a huge swath of Disney's demographic, and just prints money. Why in the world would they not keep it on ILL? Your idea is to change something that is constantly and consistently making you money to....something else that at best might match what your doing right now?

I wonder if they are concerned about optics and not wanting to put a ride featuring a Black lead character behind an extra paywall.
