Genie + and boarding groups

[jmcross]

Does anyone know if boarding groups for Remy will still happen once Genie+ launches?

As of now, that seems to be the plan.

When they initially released the info on Genie plus they shared an image that showed the Rise virtual que screen and it included a button for purchasing a lightening lane for it. This obviously doesn't confirm anything for Remy, but at least it shows they can be used together.

So let me get this straight. If you really wanted to ride Remy and couldn’t get a BG then you have to pay for LL? That really stinks!

A few weeks ago, if you really wanted to ride Rise of the Resistance and couldn’t get a BG then you were completely out of luck…no ride at all.

A few weeks ago, all the rides were free.

I miss paper fastpasses. *sigh*

The capacity for Remy in Paris is 2200/hr. ROTR is 1400/hr assuming nothing breaks down. That is why the 1pm boarding passes to Remy have been available for a long time.

Of course, if everyone buys an ILL$$$ for it, then they won't release as many afternoon BP's. So, hopefully people will hold off buying an ILL$$$ until after they miss the 1pm BP.

Well…they still are and for now continue to be, assuming you are successful at getting a BG for any rides that don’t have a standby line. My point was that having no standby line at all is a garbage idea.

As I read Remys will only be lighting lane and is not included in G+
It's kinda crappy the top two rides at each park are not included. (Why would I pay 15 each at AK when FOP and Everest are not included )

Just like ROTR, Remy will be BOTH Boarding Group AND Individual Lightning Lane (additional charge after Genie+) when necessary. But may "pause" the BGs at times like ROTR has right now. Just to confuse the heck out of new guests as much as possible

It's my understanding--and I could be wrong!--that ILL is completely separate from G+. What I mean is that you don't have to purchase G+ in order to purchase ILL. Is that not correct?

 

[jmcross]

I thought LL was only for Genie+.
Why do they have to make this so complicated?

 

[jmcross]

I just looked it up. The 2 LL attractions can be purchased without Genie+.

I'm going to be kinda cynical here and say that they want your money. So if you think you have to buy G+ in order to also pay for ILL (gotta love that acronym), then they'll be happy to get the extra cash.

Lightning Lane (LL) is a term used for both Genie+ and for Individual Lightning Lane selections (ILL or ILL$). You can buy ILL$ without buying Genie+.

Currently, if you don't get a boarding group for Remy, you don't ride it at all. It's BG or nothing.

“Lightning Lane” is the new name for the queue (the FP queue). It pertains to both Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selections, as well as others such as DAS, Club33, VIP tours, guest recovery ride passes, etc. All those ways to gain access to the LL are separate and can be used independent of - or in combination with - the others.

 

[rosegold:)]

Yes, you can technically get both a Lightning Lane and in the virtual queue for Remy!
