For a few months, the ride relied on a virtual queue system with boarding groups, the same system that was previously used on Rise of the Resistance.

Over 4,000 Disney Fans Say They Actually Like This Controversial Feature

By 3 Comments

Not too long ago, Disney paused the use of virtual queues for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance in Disney World and Disneyland, and it paused the use of virtual queues on select days for WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure in Disney California Adventure. Now, a virtual queue that has been in use in EPCOT is also going away!
