Ok, I agree. The lines exist -at all- because the rides at the parks are too few and far between. But if ride-fest is your preference, then Six Flags is a better option. Most Six Flags have 7+ roller coasters and many other thrill rides, plus the option to buy unlimited Flash Pass. Yet. Here we are, lined up to spend 10x as much to go to Disney instead because it offers something that Six Flags does not. The "experience".
Never said you're evil. I did it too. I never liked splitting up when the rest of my family is strolling in and taking in the coolness. But I did it cuz it was important to get a few rides lined up. Now I won't have to, and I'm not looking at that as a bad thing. I'm honestly floored that so many see it so negatively.
See I think you're wrong here. I go with non-commando types. They never "whined" about how unfair it was. They are the laid-back ones who just go w the flow. The ppl whining are the ones who think now they are going to get less than they used to be able to optimize.
It is foolish to think you will get on Mine Train in the opening months w/ anything less than an insane wait.
You don't have to like it. But seriously a billion people are hanging on every development to this ride because it really is the biggest thing to hit any theme park - possibly ever. A fantasyland rollercoaster! Amazing to get a new Tier-1 in the most magical park at the most magical world on the planet.
If you don't want to wait 2-3 hours to experience that, that's up to you. You can push and shove, or you can get up 2 hours early and wait for Rope Drop. Either way you're waiting your time to get the reward because so many others want to ride it too.
I disagree with everything you say!! Why should we have to wait 2 to 3 hours
for a ride, when we never had to before. Got a FP and got on the ride within 10 minutes. I feel like I'm paying more for my vacation, and getting a lot less than we have in the past. FP was the best and we used to grab at least 5 a day in MK, maybe more. Everyone at the park had the same opportunity to do the same. Also, you wouldn't have an insane wait for the mine train if they kept FP. Just pull it and get on pretty fast. We always got there pretty early. No sleeping on vacation.
