I’ve read every post in this thread from day one and something is not clear to me:
How many people each day WANT to join a BG but are unable to get a BG?
Almost everyone here seems to end up getting a BG when they try, even with the fluctuations in the specifics (park opening time, BG opening time, etc).
Every argument about what system is “fair” (mine included) relies on some hypothetical guests that wanted to join a BG, but couldn’t.
But who are those people? They don’t seem to be here. At least there are way fewer of them than people who are successfully joining BGs.
I know the “average guest” is not the same as the average DIS user. But I’m really curious about all those other people. How many are actually arriving at the park intending to join a BG to ride RotR and don’t get to?
Nobody at opening. The issue at the beginning was getting late BG that didn’t get called but that seems to be mostly resolved. People definitely miss out though, people who don’t know to arrive any earlier than an hour at the very best after opening time. Its just not the people who are going to be posting in this thread for the most part as nobody here would attempt that at this point. I have seen plenty of people talk about making the choice not to ride because they know they can’t or don’t want to get there that early.
The less fair part is IMO the randomness of which BG you get assigned. Unlike a regular SB line you cannot control your wait time by arriving early, and technology issues will set you back further than they would have yesterday.
