Good Lifestyle

Long lines are practically synonymous with thematic parks, especiallyThe world of Disney. (You watched, Splash Mountain.) But at the age of coronavirus and social distancing, the waiting areas firmly packaged are the last place that everyone would like to be - and for a good reason. To make the track experience safer, Disney World and Universal Orlando launch a full service virtual queue system.

In March, DisneyQuietly tested a menu "My queues" on the experience of my Disney's experience. This sneaking shot sparked exciting conversations in Disney fans a virtual queue could be extended to the four Thematic Parks of the Disney World (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios)when they reopen.

Fortunately, change should not be too difficult because Disney and universal theme parks had already experienced the idea in the past. In 2017, Universal Orlando started its "virtual line" for two popular attractions: the race through New York StaringJimmy Fallon andFast and Furious - Supercharged. In 2019, the park added the possibility of a third attraction-Hagrid's Magical Creatures Adventure Adventure - after people complained abouthitch up to 11 hours To mount on theHarry Potter-COASTER RUSSES. Customers would make a reservation using Universal's mobile app or kiosks at the attraction entrance, then appear at this time selected, ready to ride.

Walt Disney World has set up a similar system at the end of 2019 for highly awaited stars wars: rise of the resistance path. Once inside Disney's Hollywood studios, you could open theMy Disney Experience Application and Attach a "Boarding Group" Allowing them to explore the park, take a bite to eat or go on other rides while they are waiting. A phone notification will warn them when their group number is called, and they would have two hours to reach the line. The only drawback? The embarcaders groups are filled almost immediately by the first foremen who arrived at the park by the future, Disney should free virtual waiting lines in the waves throughout the day, to avoid the precipitation of the morning.

Note that this virtual queue system differs from existing Disney's FastPass + program. With the latter, guests must book in advance, instead if they go to the park itself, resulting in a lot of planning pressure. Ideally, Disney would allow both people to reserve three superior choices via Fastpass +, then register spontaneously with virtual queues according to the current wait times once they are actually in the Park.

As for aquatic parks? We expect Disney to look at Universal's volcano bay for inspiration. Here, visitors are givenWaterproof bracelets that connect to Universal Virtual Line System. You scan your bracelet at kiosks near each slide to secure a trip time. The bracelet has a countdown and vibrate when it's your turn. (Note: You can only press in a single slide at a time, and some will have a "tour now!" Sign, which means that there is no waiting.) To kill the time, there is A lots of free things to do as going to the lazy river, jump in the waves or living room on the terrace.

The gadget has other Nifty features too. It triggers photos on some slides - which are then related to your profile to purchase - and it is synchronized with some interactive elements (such as water guns) in the park, so you can "press to play. " You can load your credit card information becausecash-free payment In gift shops and restaurants, and use it to automatically open storage lockers without storing a code.

All these high-tech solutions will certainly reduce congestion (and frustration) that fans move away in thematic parks this summer. And for more ways of amusement parks can change in the future, consult7 things you will never see in thematic parks again .
