For the last few years we have gotten here an hour before opening. They open the turnstiles and you walk to TSMM in the order you got to the gate. When the ride first opened there was a show and a real rope drop then the running of the bulls. It was awful. Although we would be the absolute first family at the gate so many people would push past us, cutting in front walking through my family holding hands we stopped going altogether until RD became more orderly.
Unfortunately they moved backward. They put a show up on a stage under the hat and are doing a RD.
At opening SB lines are 60 minutes. We went right to TSMM and the SB line at opening crawled. Why? The FP+ line was a steady stream right from opening. And I mean STEADY! Even though we were some of the first people on it did not walk at a steady clip to the beginning of the ride as it had in the past even during peak crowds. I repeat that, we done this crowd level many times, and this is the first time from RD to the from of the line in 40 minutes.
We stopped at the top of the SB line while several dozen people in the FP+ line went past. This was at 9:30.
So between the new RD and FP+ it took us longer to get through TSMM then it ever has.
