What's New in RideAlert
1.3.2
October 17, 2026
Lightning Lane drop alerts. • Switch on "Lightning Lane drop alerts" for any ride you're watching, and RideAlert pings you when its sold-out Multi Pass or Single Pass comes back, with the next return time (and the Single Pass price). Slots can be gone within minutes, so the alert says so and you book it in My Disney Experience. • The live board and the threshold editor now show each ride's current Lightning Lane status. • The toggle is saved per ride, like your thresholds, so it's set once and holds across visits. • Closed rides and shows now say what's next on the live board: "First show at 11:45 AM", "Opens at 12:00 PM", "Back at 7:00 PM". • The Live Monitoring header shows today's park hours and crowd level next to the park name. • The Park Wait Board widget's free preview now includes the park's top ride and its live wait. • Fixed: rides no longer announce "Open for the day" when they open on their normal schedule (Early Entry included), when a show's theater opens ahead of its first performance, or when an evening event reopens them after park close. The alert is now only for a genuinely delayed opening.
