DCA Ride questions

[farmfresh]

We're going to be a DCA wed 20 June. I've been using the Ridemax software for plans, and it has left me with a few questions. One plan had TT FP pick up at 4pm - are there likely to be any left then? Also, it listed very short waits for some rides/attractions later in the day - like Orange stingers and and Its tough to be a bug. Is that likely? I guess at the heart of my questions is...are these guys right most of the time? Opinions please!

The only rides we have ever used a fastpass for at California Adventure is Soarin, Grizzly River Run and California Screamin. The wait times for the rest have been very short. We have walked off and back on to Tower of Terror so many times. Even during the summer.

Yes, RideMax is generally correct. My guess is that the 4PM FP pickup is for California Screamin which has a delayed opening on weekdays this summer (1PM) because of construction on Midway Mania. ITTBAB never has line, and Orange STinger is generally short.

I found that the errors in Ridemax were to my benefit, as in if the wait times were off it was always much shorter rather than longer. Ridemax was very effective in the am, and then we would get so far ahead of it that we could go off plan after lunch.
