- Thread starter AstroDan
- Start date
Efteling has the best use for VR, making rides accessible to those with disabilities who can't ride them due to mobility/evacuation reasons

Although the VR is disliked quite widely in this community, that's not my experience this season on park.
The VR is the appeal to the ride for a lot of people. They were sending trains with empty non-VR rows because the entire queue wanted to ride with the goggles, which surprised me.
I think it's fairly dull with or without.

Isn’t this more a case that VR is now restricted to limited seats and this creates demand as people don’t want to miss out on something that’s exclusive?

It's three rows. 42% of the train. That said, I am not sure how many people in line are aware that there is limited availability (which isn't that limited vs. non-VR if you think about it).
They kept announcing that you could ride without VR immediately or wait 45 mins for the VR. Very few people moved.
The FOMO lot aren't interested when something is in its third minute, let alone third year.

Well, kids these days get stabby if they don't have a phone in front of their face at all times, even when on a coaster. VR just takes the next logical step.
Failed experiment! I have you know it’s up there with my 60 inch 3D tv..... oh balls
Unknown, it had been on one train a fair bit this year, also had quite a lot of downtime too.
Apart from the WickerMan being unavailalbe, and Nemesis being just under an hour, the queue times above are about as you would expect.
Anyone know if Wickerman opened today? It takes queues away from a lot of the other rides when it's working
Agreed, with the weather being good and the crowds increasing. Wasn't too much of a problem before though

That's 5 hours and 10 minutes of just queues there (no ride time, time to walk between attractions, or time for lunch included) and the park is only open for 6.Shocking to see a 4pm close today. Alton taking guests for granted.

4pm closes we're insulting enough for a "day" out when rides where walk on in previous seasons, let alone this.
The queuetimes were far worse yesterday morning, it is impossible to get round all the major rides anymore without queuejumping passes...which I am sure was Merlins intention.
Things won't improve over schools weeks then the holidays with all the new season pass holders looking to get value out of their passes.
Glad I didn't get a cheap pass this year..give me a nice short Icon queue any day of the week.
