And I thought it would be quiet!
« on: March 23, 2016, 12:01:04 PM »
Tuesday March 15th

Not much of a trip report. This was about half way down the queue for Crush's Coaster, it goes way back past Studio 1

the longest queue i saw last month was 180mins for Ratatouille.......that is madness you'd spend your whole day only doing 2 or 3 rides! glad we went when it was quieter!

Ratatouille was totally disorganised, people were waiting in what they though was the ride queue when in fact they were in the queue to collect a fastpass ticket, a cast member ushering people in the right direction would have been helpful. I can only imagine how peed off people would have been after an hour of queueing to end up having to get a fastpass and not on the ride.

I too was there 14-18th March. Bizarrely the parks were quieter on the Thursday and Friday than the Monday / Tuesday as normal.

The parks were still crazy busy though. There was a news article saying for some reason loads of people went away that week!!!!!

Debating whether to do a trip report because I had such a disappointing trip I don't want to be a dolly downer on this forum.

What a shame you had a disspointing trip, you should write a report as any experience is always good for others to read.
Hopefully next time you go it will be better! ;)

Well sometimes it's good to hear some negative feedback, so we all can learn from your experiences. :)

Sadly, I don't think there will be a 'next time' for some years. My fear is that it will put newcomers off going when I've had many wonderful trips, it's just sadly my 11th trip was horrendous.

Sorry to hear you had a bad trip  >:(

I would be still interested to read your trip report though.

I was there those dates last year and it was really quiet and we had a great time. I nearly booked that week for this year, so I'm really glad I didn't (we go in May).

Wow, making people wait in a queue as long as that is ridiculous. I hope they sort queue times out before the 25th.

I'm not sure how they are supposed to "sort queue times out"... the attractions can only take a certain number of guests at a time so if there's a lot of guests in the park, then they need to be somewhere!

I think it's due to closures more than anything. Half the studios was pretty much empty because of the closures and hence everything was crazy. I personally managed to get in for 9:40 and did Crush before 10am!

Put on more shows and parades. Hopefully for the 25th they'll just splash their money about and not worry about how much they spend.
