Ride Availability/Operations 2022-25

They close the ride queues earlier depending on the queue time they'll be a while filter guests through the last back log of the day

That’s never traditionally been the policy.

As I understand it, all ride queues will close at the advertised close time unless explicitly stated otherwise (e.g. Hyperia last year).

Some parks do operate as you describe, but Merlin have never done it that way. The advertised close time is the queue close time, not the ride close time.
 
What it put up on the app is not precisely what is happening on the ground.
Apps sometimes say closed when rides are open.
They sometimes fib about actual queue times as well.
They are a general guide.
Not that I ever do queuetimes.

But this is Britain, and we all go home for tea, none of that continental evening stuff here.

They absolutely fib about queue times, because by doing that it is a great and extremely effective and easy way to spread guests out around the park. I can't say they are as aggressive as Disney however, but displaying queue times has other advantages than ya know, telling people the queue times.
