Greetings, everyone! 

This is a separate thread from the regular You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to house all of the "yellow bar" status updates from the returning registration sale's waiting room (and possibly other relevant status updates).

When I open this thread on the morning of the open/general registration sale, I would like to ask that everyone to please refrain from making conversation or holding discussions in this particular thread so that we can more easily keep track of any status updates during the sale.  Thank you!

Hopefully, this will help people keep track of whether or not your page has refreshed to the next "yellow bar" message.

Conversations will be removed without notice.


If you want to comment or make small talk during the sale, please head over to the open registration discussion thread:
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

If you notice updates from social media (CCI's official facebook, twitter, etc.) during the sale, please feel free to post them here.


*NOTE: The buying groups are welcome to post their level or percentage of badge purchase completion for the sale as well.  (Estimates will be just fine, since it's just to show us how each group is doing.)


Good luck to those of you participating in the open registration sale!  ^__^

Shortly after 9:00 AM Pacific Standard Time (PST), we’ll begin selecting members at random from the waiting room. You may or may not be selected. Remember Edna’s wisest words, “I never refresh dahling, it distracts from the now.” #Incredibles2 #OpenReg2018

 Have you gotten acquainted with the new batch of freshman at King’s Dominion School of the Deadly Arts? Maybe Zenzele will take Saya’s advice to heart (or at least more-so than Marcus did!) and stay away from the refresh button … #DeadlyClass #OpenReg2018

Thank you for your patience. If you are selected for a registration session, you will have 15 minutes to complete your purchase. Make sure you have your Member ID, last name, and credit card ready!

 If you are accidentally removed from the waiting room, simply log back in using your link and personal registration code. This will not impact your chance of being selected for a registration session. Only registration codes that were authorized before 9:00 AM Pacific Standard Time (PST) may re-enter.

Once you have successfully logged in to a registration session, you will be prompted to select the number of people you are purchasing badges for during the sale: 1, 2, or 3. Pay close attention to the number of people you select, as you will not be able to return to this page.

If at any time you are removed from the waiting room, log in to your Member ID account, click the “Registration Info” tab, and copy and paste the link to enter your registration code again. You will be put back in the same random group you were assigned. Only registration codes that were authorized before 9:00 AM Pacific Standard Time (PST) may re-enter.

Your personal registration code is embedded in your waiting room URL. Do not post pictures of your waiting room or registration session online, or someone will be able to use your code to enter and your session will expire.

Working in a buying group? Remember, your Member ID will not validate if it is currently being used in another registration session. This includes abandoned registration sessions. Carefully manage your buying group or you could get shut out.

We are monitoring badge inventory very closely! This yellow status bar will keep you updated throughout the sale. Remember, not everyone who participates will be able to purchase a badge.

Preview Night inventory is running low. You may not be able to purchase a Preview Night badge if you are selected for a registration session.

If you purchase all four daily badges (Thursday through Sunday) they will be automatically converted to a 4-Day badge. You cannot opt-out of 4-Day badge consolidation.
