Do you think TSMM standby line may be shorter without FP?

[abbycwell]

I was just thinking how everyone always talks about how standby lines are now much longer than they used to be before FP was introduced. I'm curious to see how the lack of FP will affect TSMM in April/May. I'm thinking the lines will be longer but will move much faster and may end up being shorter in the long run.
What do you guys think?

No, because there will be only one track open, as opposed to two tracks being open now.

It's going to be a cluster. Reminds me of the paper FP days when you would get there at RD, not be the quickest one to walk to where the ride is, and the FPs being given out were for 7:30 that night with a 2 hour standby wait.

There are actually THREE tracks open now, and I think the plan is to go to just one. So the wait times will be long.

No, there are two right now. Three is the normal. One is currently closed for TSL construction.

I wonder how long it will be down to just one. We were originally old early may. I wonder if they will open up more tracks but without fp still after May 8

There’s Olaf’s chance in you-know-where that the lines will go faster.

Someone should start an over/under pool on which will have the longer stby lines in April. FOP or TSMM.

I say TSMM.

We will be there March 13, will it be one track then? What is a typical RD wait time, no FPP?

April 9th-early may it goes to standby only so I'd imagine 1 track by then.

Anyone's guess as to what RD line will be and how fast it will build. Figure 5-60 min wait depending on where in the crowd you are and how quickly you get to the ride. I'd expect it to be a solid 120+ min wait very quickly

There were times TSMM standby would be over 100 minutes during our trip from Feb 4-8.

I wouldn't ride it without FPs.

I think it will be longer, as already noted due to track closures. The difference with there being no FP line is even though you may be in a longer line, it will be continuously moving. I personally find not moving at all seems like a longer wait than actually waiting longer but constantly moving. All in my head, but still makes a difference to me.
