Disagree. It was easy to benefit from Fastpass at Disney when it was "free". and how is it a lose-lose if one party gets to bypass a significantly longer queue than the other if they know how to use the app?

We were coming up to renew our passes and have decided to hold off, i thought I would give an idea of how the VQ has helped me and my family, especially during movieworld With VQ: Arrive at 9:45am, line up at kids area and we have 5 passes so 3 of the VQ are used to queue for Hypercoaster, 2 are used for Superman. As the kids area opens we do the Driving School, the Looney Tunes Coaster and the Carousel. At this point our queues are normally ready and we move to Hypercoaster and Superman, when we're finished with those rides we'll VQ for Green Lantern and Road Runner. During this time we'll stop for a snack and wait for the queues to be ready. When the queues are ready my eldest and my wife goes to GL, i do Road Runner with my youngest and generally the queues are pretty long VQ wise from there, we then do some of the other rides, look at the shops and have lunch. At this point we've left Movieworld and everyone has had a go. Without VQ we need to split up and wait in lengthy queues for who knows how long, less rides, less enjoyment and less likely to stay for lunch. It will fundamentally change our trip to Movieworld, so much so that we are not likely to renew for a while yet. Hypercoaster is great, as is Superman, but Dreamworld is a much more enjoyable 'theme park' day without the VQ option at VIllage.

This got me interested in going back and looking at the data. I don't have throughput data, but I do have statuses and wait times. The data I have is not 100% accurate because I'm relying on what their system feeds, but it does provide a good overview for how things are going. Out of the 17 attractions that VRTP update statuses for, since February between 10AM and 5PM, Leviathan is the 6th most unreliable attraction across property. I got this by comparing the rate at which the ride reported itself as being down and closed versus open. A big problem seems to be that it often opens late. Here's a breakdown of the likelihood that it'll be open for each 15 minute interval after opening: By around 11:30 things seem to become pretty stable, but 27% chance of it being open by 10:16 is pretty low. I do agree that Leviathan does the job for Sea World, but it definitely still seems to have some teething issues. Here's some bonus stats for those interested. This is the status breakdown of the main coasters between 11 AM and 4PM February across property: Since February it seems that Village coasters have spent an hour down for every two hours operating. Here is also the average wait by month. Leviathan is easily one of Village's most popular attractions.

I think this is correct. It's all about money. Why bother implementing something that's free for people that pay north of $100 to be there when they could pay $80 for the same thing (provided VQ was used properly) when the people that visit won't return for a few years anyhow? It's a terrible decision for guests ahead of the summer peak when every major in their parks will have upwards of a 1.5hr line because Village haven't cared about their customers for years by *checks notes* running single train ops on Rivals & Superman (and presumably Leviathan during the next peak too) as well as making 5 minute dispatches the norm because managers aren't properly training their staff.
