Thirteen: General Discussion

Couple of things

1) the single rider queue has been opened, seems as though it mixes straight in with the fast track line. Not sure I understand how it works but there is now a merge point at the bag hold but seems like you take the same route as fast track up into the station.

2) It wasn’t running in the rain again so I hope it’s not had its usual autumn tantrum.

Yes Main, singles, Fastrack and ambulant RAP all merge at baggage now. Singles go up the old Fastrack side of the steps and everyone else goes up the old main queue side.

Looks like they made a mistake today as they sent a couple of fast tracks down the single rider queue. That makes sense, probably just teething issues.

Let’s hope they are replacing the peeling tiles or the torn material…it looks awful!

I believe the material has been replaced now, on my visit this week it looked like new material had been put up on the scaffolding structure around the ride building.

Looks much much better now! The new material seems to have a nice green tint to it around the edges.
 
Not sure if its already been mentioned but looks like Thirteens baggage hold is permanently closed now even on peak days as part of the recent cuts.



How does this work with the SRQ/Fasttrack? Do they have a permanent member of staff there batching people into the queues?

Yes there's a batcher at the merge point just before the hold who sends singles up the right hand steps and everyone else up the left.
 
My memories are more about the bottleneck being in front of the baggage hold and after you get through you almost walk straight through to the train, but accept that was probably rare.
 
Yeah its a shame to see it closed again. I can understand lower staff levels on off peak days but reducing capacity significantly on peak days is annoying to see.

I still don’t get why it needs baggage storage at all. At Disney you take bags on with you even on things like rock’n’rollercoaster. Thirteen is a simple sit down coaster that doesn’t go over guest pathways, should be fine carrying a bag on.

Could fly up on the indoor section?
