Yes, no and sort of. Matterhorn has never had FP. POTC had it until 3-4 years ago and it was permanently removed. Haunted Mansion only has it during the "Haunted Mansion Holiday" phase Oct-Jan. When it is just the regular HM ride they turn off FP.

Thanks....

I knew I had seen FP machines at HM before.....now I know.

now I remember reading about removing the Pirates FP.

I just figured in the 2 yrs since our last visit (Matterhorn was down that trip) that they would FP for such a popular ride.

Disneyland is not as warm and fuzzy on the Fastpasses as WDW is.
Popular, yes. But not worth the delay for the standby line. On a busy day, you can get on Pirates in under and hour. Rides that are quick load, high capacity don't need a fast pass

an hour
I just can't imagine waiting even 1/2 that long for a ride anymore. We are spoiled by visiting WDW in low crowd times and using FP. We don't wait for rides that have longer than a 20 min wait anymore...we either FP or skip it anymore.

I do remember our 90's trips to Disneyland and yes we waiting 2 hours to ride Star Tours when it opened....Splash too.

Busy day by meaning Christmas week maybe. Any other time the line is usually under 30 minutes.
