1. A virtual queue system, comprising:
- at least one virtual queuing station associated with an individual attraction within a theme park;
a transceiver of the at least one virtual queuing station, wherein the transceiver is configured to receive a wireless signal from a guest-associated device, wherein the wireless signal comprises identification information for a guest associated with a guest device; and
a virtual queue control system in communication with the at least one virtual queuing station and the active wearable, wherein the virtual queue control system is configured to receive a communication comprising the identification information from the at least one virtual queuing station and wherein receiving the communication causes the virtual queue control system to add the wearer to a virtual queue for the individual attraction and to send a confirmation message to one or both of the at least one virtual queuing station or to the guest device that the guest has been added to the virtual queue.
