My only real concern is that it will make other wait times longer but in the grand scheme of things, I'd rather wait 5mins more for Mummy, 5mins more for MIB, 5 mins more for Simpsons and then walk on DM.
As others have said, eliminating standby altogether is impossible. The park simply couldn't handle it. If you took a busy day, and instead of every ride having a large percentage of the people in 30-120 minute long lines, they were walking around, shopping, or eating, the walkways would be so crowded that you couldn't move. A parks overall capacity accounts for people standing in lines, so removing queues reduces overall park capacity. It'll be interesting to see what the criteria is for queue-less attractions is. I agree that the low capacity rides that back up will be the most likely ones to end up with this. This DM test may be just a test for Fallon though. A real world test of a similar ride to fine tune it and experiment with different configurations. How well it works with DM may determine if it gets to keep queue-less or not.
If it ultimately is rolled out to all the attractions with VQ as the only option and you can only reserve one spot at a time then it would have no effect at all on other attractions wait times. To me that would be the way to go. No planning needed you get to the park and choose what you want to wait for when you want to.My only real concern is that it will make other wait times longer but in the grand scheme of things, I'd rather wait 5mins more for Mummy, 5mins more for MIB, 5 mins more for Simpsons and then walk on DM.
But as Disney's system shows, this doesn't work out very well for local APs.If it ultimately is rolled out to all the attractions with VQ as the only option and you can only reserve one spot at a time then it would have no effect at all on other attractions wait times.

Disney's system requires you to plan ahead, if they implement the system the way I suggested it would be no different than showing up and waiting in line. This is pretty much how they have it working now for the test. As a local AP I hate the Disney system, but something like this would be great.But as Disney's system shows, this doesn't work out very well for local APs.
I don't know that this would be that big of a problem most of the time, certainly during peak times it could be an issue. I guess more street entertainment, shops and restaurants would help.Except the park can't handle that many people just walking around. I'm not sure how you'd even design a park from the ground up to deal with that many people not in queues.
I'm a local and honestly speaking I never have that hard of a time getting the FPs I want and I never start checking until I get in the car.But as Disney's system shows, this doesn't work out very well for local APs.
Seems more like a test for Fallon then.Seth Kubersky said the DM queue is a "two week test".
Could be. That would make sense.Seems more like a test for Fallon then.
Yeah, I think this is definitely a test for Fallon, however this is just the beginning for this system.Seems more like a test for Fallon then.
