E-Ride Update?

[barreloflaughs]

A rumor picked up elsewhere on the internet:

E-Rides are apparently confirmed as every M, W and Fri from 5/31 through the end of August.

The following are supposed being removed from the E-Ride list:
Haunted Mansion and Country Bears.

The following are being added:
Peter Pan, Pooh and Philarmagic

The following are still on:
Space, Splash, Thunder and Buzz

The following are ?:
Astro Orbiters and TTA

If true I'll be a bit bummed abou HM being removed from the list.

Time will tell I suppose.

Set aside the fact that I'd prefer the days when e-ride night was free (in other words, MK was open later) I'm ok with the change and here's why.

If there's going to be an e-ride night, optimally the attractions with the longest daytime standby queues would be open. It was nice to have Pirates and/or Mansion and the Bears open. But, honestly, you could enjoy those during the day without much wait.

So, it seems it's become (for the most part) FastPass night (save for Jungle Cruise)

But, If I were running e-ride, I'd offer:

Splash
BTMRR
Pan
Pooh
Philharmagic
Space
Buzz
Stitch (when it opens)

Throw-in TTA & Orbitor so that Tomorrowland is fully alive.

And, open the Mansion because (1) it's best experienced at night and (2) it balances the night a bit - otherwise Splash and BTMRR are completely isolated, Mansion fills in a bit.

Sounds good to me!! Especially for those of us with younger kids. Can I ask where you read this?

Thanks,

Personally I used to love it when the MK was open 24/7. Then you never had to worry about such things.

I really liked it when Disney didn't waste billions of Dollars on ABC and Go.com and didn't have to funnel every extra penny the parks make into those failing ventures. I really liked it when Disney didn't have to cut back on hours that MK was historical open and maintance for attractions so that we can get a movie made about the monorail.

LOL...Though I fail to see a tangible parallel.

I read it in the rumors forum on WDWMAGIC.com. I've yet to see it posted elsewhere.
