The one silver lining to all the broken down rides is it allows us to ride things without long waits. We never buy
Genie+ unless we are with people coming from out of town because I refuse to pay for something that should be free.
Unfortunately, that means we don’t ride many rides now due to how long the standby lines have become post Genie+. But we’ve learned to keep an eye on broken down rides and hop in line when the open back up with minimal wait. Once we were first on Big Thunder (the CM escorted us through the line to the ride vehicles) and my son was super excited. We also got to ride three times in a row that day because people hadn’t noticed the ride was back up and the standby line remained under 10 minutes.
