Walt Disney World Water Parks Testing "Virtual Queue" System

Beginning today (3/28) the Walt Disney World resort began to test a new queue option at Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon.

Kiosks have been set up for several popular attractions to offer "Virtual Queue".

During the test period, Guests receive a wrist band and Pass with a per-printed 15 minute return window (similar to the printed style of FastPass).

The pass reads as follows:

Quote:

---

• There will be a moderate wait upon return
• Valid for one (1) Guest to return to the attraction queue at the time listed below.
• Only Valid on date issued.
• Cannot accept early or late arrivals.

---

The Participating attractions are:

• Downhill Double Dipper (Blizzard Beach)
• Miss Adventure Falls (Typhoon Lagoon)
• Slush Gusher (Blizzard Beach)
• Summit Plummet (Blizzard Beach)

The test period will continue until April 7, 2017.

How ironic. I was just about to post that I wondered how long before FastPass came to the water parks. I think this will be great!!!!

Universal's new water park is supposed to have a virtual queue. I love how competition breeds innovation.

Do you have to have the pass with you or just the wristband?

At least during the test, the pass was connected to the wristband.

Probably an easy question - are the magic bands not waterproof? I'd tend to think this would be the best way to track this, no?
